Default Cooling again

When it gets cold outside, I close up most of the
windows, and the humidity gets real high with over
800 gallons of aquarium water. With the windows open
the humidity is not bad, except in the summer when
the humidity is high outside. :-) I should put a
humidity monitor up to read actual measurements.
Maybe some day I'll do that. :-) But on the days
that it's cold outside, and most of the windows are
closed, the condensation on the outer walls, is not
a good thing. :-)

Yes, a chiller is definitely the way to go to reduce
humidity.

And if one were to build like a 1,000 aquarium in a
house, one would definatley want to enclose it, and
install a vent to pull all air outside. :-) And use
a chiller with the compressor coils outside. Hey I
can dream, can't I. :-)

Yea, but this is winter. You shouldn't have any problems with hot
humidity now. By the way I live in Central Florida.


My indoor humidity has been running about 76, but as high as in the
80's. I was thinking that with a chiller I could also back off the
evaporative cooling and maybe reduce my indoor humidity.

Wind is a big difference too. I've been trying to put a fan in the
window in the afternoons.
