I've pieced together some comments that furnace vents should be on opposing
walls, about a foot off the ground and preferably in-line with the
direction of the playa wind.
A few remaining questions
- Our A/C is the free-standing portable type, so it's intake valves
stand a few feet off the floor and simply suck in air from inside the yurt
then ports the exhaust out a hose.
- Will it make a difference if the exhaust port is higher or lower on
the wall?
- In theory, would we want the intake vents on the unit to be at a
higher or lower elevation in the yurt? We can't make them lower than they
already are since they're manufactured on the top of the unit. However if
raising would help, we could put it up on a table to get the ports higher
in the air.
- Last year our exhaust port was on the wall facing where the sun
rose. I noticed quite a lot of heat coming off since it wasn't insulated.
In regards to air flow is there any reason we shouldn't put the exhaust
port on the same wall as the one of the furnace vents? For example, situate
the vent near the floor, and then on the same wall near the ceiling have
the A/C hose vent out the top? I suppose that's cutting two holes in the
same wall. Hm.
