Hydro Innovations - Ice Box Inline Heat Exchangers
Description
Install this chilled water heat exchanger on the exiting duct flange of your reflectors and eliminate the heat generated by your lighting. Seal up the garden and turn off the A/C! Using chilled water for cooling is significantly more efficient than traditional methods. Simply circulate chilled water through the heat exchanger(s) and let your fans recirculate the air in the space. The 6" version can handle up to 4,500 BTU of cooling and the 8" version can handle up to 6,500 BTU of cooling. Install either on your reflector for consistent heat exchange, or use the optional wall mount kit to simply recirculate the air in the garden through your icebox in place of traditional air conditioning. Use in conjunction with the Ice Box Thermostat to control the fan speed and get cooling only where and when you need it. Ice Boxes are great for gardens with 1-6 reflectors. If you have more than 6 reflectors, check out our 2 ton and larger air handlers.
