Heat/air for small garage/shop
I have been lookign around at used heat/air conditioners for my garage/
shop. It is not used all the time, mainly on weekends currently. It is a 30x30x10 metal building with 2x4 walls in the inside and 2x4 trusses on the ceiling. I found a local heating air guy that has an 80's 3 ton unit that he says was workign when pulled out of the house. The owner wanted to upgrade. But, it is not a split system like I have in my house. Is there a way to use this and it not look bad ? I mean, how would you do the duct from the outside to the inside with a 2x4 wall? Would this be too inefficent since it is old even though I am not in there all the time. It does get terribly hot in there in the summer, I am not as concerned about heat in the winter. I am in the process of insulating currently and have no inside wall material as of yet other than studs. I have a 100 amp panel in my garage. This unit is 300 bucks. |

For my money (and in my 24x40 shop) a Home Depot window unit in the back endwall works fine. Pushes cold air all the way to the far wall, no problem. My requirements at the shop are different from my home. I'm only there once or twice a week, and I don't want sweat pouring off me while I work. A window unit knocks the 100 degrees 80% humidity down to something comfortable in about 30 minutes. They run for years, are quite efficient, and when they quit, you just buy another for ~$300. Much cheaper in the long run. |

I think they are called a "package" system. Basically the whole thing sits outside. |

If the system calls for ducting, simply box in the ducting on the back of the building and run it as close to the peak of the roof as possible for maximum cooling effect. |

Just off the top of my head. A three ton system from the
eighties ought to draw about 15 amps, at 240 volts. Some where along in that range. Three tons should cool that shop in a hurry, and only have to run now and again. The humidity control won't be great, but it will be cooler. You'd have to put the unit outdoors, and cut some holes in the wall for the ducts. One option is to run a supply air duct along the ceiling, and use a grille in the wall for return air. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "stryped" wrote in message ...

Basically the whole thing sits outside. They are made for 'Mobile Homes'. They are not specifically for mobile homes. You see them alot in southern states, on typical framed homes, also they are very simular to commercial roof top units. As to the OP. Set it on the ground, and cut a couple holes for supply and return duct through the wall. as for the $300 price tag, it seems steep to me. Maybe you can get the seller to make a bit of duct work to get through the wall for the same price. I live in a very 'Southern State' and what they advertise as package units around here are one piece systems with flimsy flex duct that runs under a mobile home. I have never seen one of these used anywhere else. They are too easy to drag away from a building, and would make it too easy to B&E a structure. The one piece they use on other structures were referred to as Modular, since they are used in modular, portable classrooms or office buildings so they can be hauled in and set up in a hurry. They simply bolt to one of the end walls of the center modules, and are wired into that section. That way nothing is sticking out when they are being moved down a highway.

Well, I travel to Tennesse every summer and I see homes of all types with package units sitting on the ground beside the home. Last summer I was down in Mississippi and saw them all over too. I do HVAC work for a living, so I know what I am seeing! You must not be looking hard enough! Greg |
