Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split and More

Thanks for the explanation. I'm still skeptical on real-world effectiveness. I wonder what kind of SEER or net cooling capacity these things deliver? Using room air to cool the hot coil should make the supply air nice and cool at the expense of sucking hot, humid outside air into the space.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split and More

The ones I've seen pull in room air and cool some, exhausting some as hot air. AFAIK all the air is taken from the room. Of course efficiency will be lower since the air that is exhausted has to be made up from somewhere -Curt On Sunday, July 5, 2020, 10:19:22 AM EDT, Kaleb Striplin

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split and More

Yes insulate the garage door with foam sheet to reduce the heat load. And be sure to seal the air inlet/outlet tightly at the wall or garage door, and seal any gaps tight at the door edge. On Sun, Jul 5, 2020, 9:47 AM Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: > On Sun, July 5, 2020 10:19 am, Kaleb

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split and More

I’m not sure how effective it would be given the volume fo your shop. Maybe if you cordoned off an area with a big curtain, like a welding curtain, or something like that it might work? I’m just trying to cool a roughly 20’ by 20’ garage. The one I got is rated for 400 SF, so theoretically, it

Huh.  Vent: does it need one or two?  In other words, does it heat up and discharge interior air or exterior air?  The kind I worked with needed exterior air. Regular electrical socket, or does it need a 30 amp or 220 socket? Max Dillon Charleston SC Jul 4, 2020 5:25:05 PM Dan Penoff via
