Can you change some of your ducting on the air in side? You have two air in ducts. Reroute one to the AC condenser coils. That may help with AC efficiency. How far away is your carbon filter exhaust from the AC unit? The greater distance the better even if it means more ducting pipe. If you can't vent the energy directly with air, you have to be more efficient at pumping it out with the AC.

The ac unit only has 1 air out so not sure how I could direct the air to the coils? The carbon filter is hung by chains on the ceiling (as you probably know to reduce vibration sounds) we did initially have the ac at the other side of the room but found the air out ducting was getting hot even with foil on it so was basically like a radiator hence why I moved it close to the chimney to have minimal ducting. Would moving the carbon filter to the other side of the room help at all? Room was at 37 degrees today 🤦♂️Comment

A window type AC? Air for the condenser coil is taken in on the sides of the AC (outside air- unit is normally in a window hanging out in the outside atmosphere), cools the condenser coil and is exhausted out the back (hot air). Room air is drawn in from the bottom of the front, run over the evaporator coil which cools the air and is blown back into the room. The two air flows are separate air flow systems. So the hot from the rear needs to go up chimney (how you have it) and intake air from the outside from the chimney needs to be ducted to the side(s) of the AC. From there it will flow over evaporator coils and out the back up the chimney. An AC is just a heat pump. It needs to have separate air sources to be efficient. You want to create distance from the AC cold air output from the carbon filter inlet sucking air out of the room so it does not just suck the cold air that you created back out the carbon filter.Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.Comment

Perfectly explained thank you 😊 sorry im a total novice on ac units as never had to use 1. Ive passed this info to my mate along with the YouTube video and he can make it happen but just got back from there now and the temp is 29 at last !! Not Perfect but a hell of a lot better than in the 40's. Thinking that by removing the long ac air out ducting has definitely helped. Will see how it goes over the next couple of days and and will probably go for your idea of an air in to the ac unit. Thank you for all your help. Really appreciate it 🙏.Comment
