New record for me. The 5hp dust collector adds a little spice to the atmosphere. Thinking an air conditioner might be in the cards, but not sure how one could work in a recirculated air scenario...

I'm guessing that 33.4 isn't fahrenheit... |

That is one way to get the RH down. |

That is hot. In fact a little hotter than here in Southern California, and they say we are having a heat wave!!! |

But of course you do. One day I hope to as well, but I need to figure out how to make it work with the rh which is more important than my comfort... |

I quit working until fall. It's only 85 in my shop but I can't deal with the heat. Anything over 70 and I'm a sweaty mess. A year in Iraq didn't help. |

The AC will condense the moisture out of the air as long as you do not have a lot of air coming in from outside. I have been running my AC to keep the RH down, got it down to 46% at 70 F. At work we knock the RH down by cooling and then heating up the air. Not particularly energy efficient but when you have a RH that you have to limit things to you don't worry too much about being green. A dehumidifier that people run does the same thing but the warm side of the coil radiates the heat back in the room. Mind you, you do have a good heat generating device as it is. |

Well, I I is they need to have the heat vented outside, which makes me think it would have to draw untreated air in from somewhere outside... |

On a smaller scale I recently directed my vacuum system's exhaust outside in my garage and it is cooler. But I don't build out there. |

Your bracing room of course. Use a box A/C 6000 BTM should do just fine. I use mine to help control the RH. It keeps my shop at 50% all summer long, but I tend not to build much in the summer months...I know you can't do that though. |

But wouldn't new untreated air need to come in to replace the hot air being vented outside, causing RH stability? Not quite sure how he systems actually work... |
