you guys have heard me talk about it and plenty of my videos now I'm excited about our air conditioning getting installed up there like with their but before we can do that we have to prepare for them to be able to bring their lifts in here and install a big AC unit which probably in hindsight would have made a lot of sense to just do that before we ever built anything in here but now we've got to kind of unbilled some stuff - then do it sure you could DIY anything but why do this when you could have this available in both 120 and 140 millimeter sizes the new Prisma fans from fractal design features six individually addressable hub mounted RGB LEDs that are compatible with most motherboard addressable RGB headers to learn more click the link in the description below so here's our gay ghetto a/c setup that we've had for a while now we've talked about it before those ducts coming down right there are coming off of a three-ton unit designed to cool about 800 square feet or so of office space maybe even less than that and so what we do is we crank that AC and then we put this height let's high high pressure industrial fan in the door and we blow all that cold out there out here making it warm in there tolerable out here and then that a/c never gets a chance to cycle and that's bad you don't want an AC you you don't want to a see running non-stop you also don't want it oversized where it's turning off too quickly because then it never gets in to again cycling so what we are going to do today is we have to clear space for them to bring their lifts and stuff in here which means it gotta move to the workbench in those tables and you can see we kind of already put all of our lights over here out of the way but let me tell you the way it's gonna be because we're filming this right now ahead of them getting here technically a few days from now and I'm curious is how they're gonna do this so if you look in our office here real quick you can see and you saw this on our networking video as well this is a drop ceiling which means it's being suspended it's suspended by all those wires and then this cork material just kind of pushes up and out of the way I'm sure people by now are familiar with how drop ceilings work but if you look up there look at all those wires the reason why that matters that's a packaged unit on the roof the whole thing is contained as a single unit so it's called a package unit the HVAC is the heating ventilation and air conditioning it's all handled in one unit that then handles the air from outside and blows it in down here we are not doing a package unit here we are doing a split unit a commercial split we thought about doing a package unit but because we're going with a seven and a half ton unit out here so I don't own this building I've already said that in the future I will probably own a building but that's not gonna happen for at least five years that's how long our lease is here so do I really want to spend the cost of putting an HVAC system out here and if I'm not gonna say what it cost but I will say that anyone working in the commercial hvac knows how much it's gonna cost us to put a seven and a half ton unit here in a warehouse what we're doing is we're doing a split unit so we only have to drill a small like six inch hole that goes up into the roof where the condenser unit is gonna be on the roof and then the actual air handler is going to be inside the space here so it's gonna be suspended on a cradle that is being that's going to be coming off of those steel beams up there and it's gonna be over here to the right of these tubes and the reason why we're doing that is we don't interfere with any of the bracing you see how the office is being braced by these steel beams right here because again these are just tilt up office walls or they're not load-bearing at all so that's why it's not like when you build a house and it's got all this fully frame structure just those steel beams are holding it up so what the steel beams there and just guy-wires over here for the drop ceiling we decided it's going over here at least the the estimator and the the project manager decided that would be the best place to put it so they're gonna be removing those guy wires risa porting off of the cradle er building putting the AC there and then we're going to be bringing the main duct over here above the store where it's then gonna be coming all the way across the center of our AC or our warehouse nearly to this wall where it's then gonna have what 12 registers shooting down at a 45 a 14 by 8 registers shooting down at 45s here here here here here in here right so we're gonna have a crap ton of air mixing and then this supply for the AC unit is gonna be up there high where it's pulling hot air out of the ceiling cooling it off and blowing it out here so with the seven and a half ton unit and our in our summer is getting 110 plus which is 44 see and higher we should be able to keep it under 75 degrees Fahrenheit in here at all times which is more like what twenty-eight to see some like that yeah so that's a pretty significant amount of cooling so one of the convenient things too is the fact that our panels are right here inside the warehouse and because we have a like I said in our other video we have a 208 120 volt and a 480 277 volt they have to pull power up like just like they did here right so they've got to run conduit up and over which means we've got to clear this space out and I've already talked to them fortunately I don't have to take down our shelves and I don't have to take down or other set because that ain't happenin they have to work around that fortunately they say they're just gonna drape plastic over it they'll be fine they can to be able work across it just fine so anyway which means we have to tear all this down so we're not gonna talk about this this is going alive in another video you guys already seen when we played around the overclocks but yeah so stay tuned for that I think it's the next video going live after this one so one of the things we did in our our wiring plugs had triggered so many people and I guess rightfully so was two things one when we fixed this socket right here which is a which is a 20 amp saga you tell it's a 20 amp it's got the teeth right there on the eyeball right it's a petite well we use 14 by 2 wire and every was like you should use 12 by 2 12 by 2 you're gonna you have a fire hazard and you shouldn't have used romex which i guess is not actually the name of that's a brand name of the cable not the actual cable type so it's this type n em - Bugis 14-2 with ground 600 volts we would have probably never exceeded this but the problem here is that where we've got it taped down and stuff I guess something could still accidentally kind of gouge it because this is designed I guess to be in a wall I'm not messed with or handled or any of that sort of stuff and so a lot of people were like hey J that's a serious hazard you really need to replace that with a proper like 12 by 3 or they some people even sent me links to proper like industrial extension cords that we can build our court court out of like we're trying to do right here so to make everyone happy especially all the electricians out there we are gonna go ahead and we are gonna take it off oh no oh they called it a gorilla tape on Gorilla Tape fire hazard removed you guys happy you know the real reason why I did it I have to move the workbench it's okay now I have extra romex to use elsewhere where you guys can't see it and get mad at me all right so I'm gonna do now that I'm a man I'm a man so now I'm just gonna kind of tear it all the loose stuff put skunkworks in my truck and finally take it back home get all this out of the way and over there and yeah we'll come back when they're actually here and starting the work they started the installation and I like boats so much I made a big old barrel of a boat in my warehouse that's not an air-conditioning duct it's a turret so slight change of plans you realize that these are actually low these walls over here this half of the office are actually constructed in a manner that could be load-bearing and so what's happened here is a platform has been built on top of the women's bathroom where how many women here so it's okay if it crashes through there's no women here and then there's kind of support on top of it because this is the air handler for our seven and a half ton air conditioning unit so this guy is actually pretty heavy I don't know how they're planning on getting it up there but that's their problem that's what I'm paying them right so it's a split unit as you can see the other half is over there that's the seventh half ton condenser right there so that's gonna be removing all the heat and stuff and then this is gonna be handling all the cold air and blowing it out into our warehouse so it's gonna go up here they'll be manufacturing a 90 degree duct that connects to our main 24-inch duct right here and then it steps down to believe 20 inch right here where we then are gonna have more events right there blowing down to us and then it steps down to 18 inch down here that is then gonna be having more vents blowing down at us that's how it works okay air conditioner blows down on us cool us a little fun fact here that's an 18 inch duct on the end it's a spiral duct basically its rifling for the air it makes it spin have more velocity a little less turbulence that right there is also the inner diameter of the Barrow found on the Amato from World War two you guys can also check out the Yamato by using my world of warships code down below no it's not actually not but I could have I could have made it one sorry our panels off right here you can see they're actually grabbing power from here conduits run right there you can see where it's gonna come into the panel so they're actually grabbing 3-phase from over here on this panel we've got the conduit up and over and that's going all the way across so I can't wait for this to be done now one of the things we need to do and now I'm totally nerding out over each back and stuff one of the things we need to do is lower the heat load so heat load is the calculation that you use to determine how much cooling you need into space it's not just throw the big o unit at it throwing a big o unit at the problem only cost you more money and then it cost you way more electricity and stuff when you could sometimes shrink the demand rather than growing to meet the demand so in the afternoon the Sun shines directly on that door as you can see and with it being metal and the fact that we live in the desert you can imagine that that gets to be pretty darn hot so what we had constructed here to just try and control some of the heat back when we first got in this place this would be bearable is this wall of insulation this insulation right here isn't even honestly like what we bought it for it was for more of those panels which I'm actually taking those panels off the wall and redoing it actually we're gonna be using and so quilt which is a type of stuff you using a soundstage it's a real thick heavy insulating blanket that's designed to absorb and deaden sound and reverb it's what you would use and it's used in Hollywood and so we're putting that on the walls in here but this right here is just a foam with an R factor and it's got a radiant barrier on it and it's insulating foam so I just went wool man six of these is about the size of the door so why not just go and tape them together I stick in front of the door and that worked really well but since we have another set that's gonna be built over here fairly close to this door at least three or four feet off of it we're not going to get anything big through this door anymore so what's it matter it's not gonna be any more open than this people door is gonna be in fact we'll have more room on the people door because it swings all the way out of the way so I'm gonna also be building a frame for the front of this that's not only using insulation we're probably not gonna even use the foam to be honest because the foam offers us insulation offices absolutely zero sound barrier I'm gonna do my research to find out what the best material to use is to deaden the sound because when we get deliveries of stuff in this alleyway like the neighbors and stuff is like a food cold food storage bla bla bla back there and so everyday at like 9:30 to 10:00 they get a delivery and it's a big rig that comes down here and to let everyone know they're here they could just go now Phil had a very good point he said Jay aren't you leaving for vacation and day after tomorrow you know I was like yep he's like isn't this gonna be done after you're back or after you're gone and I was like yep and he's like so how you plan on filming the end of this a bunch of people suggested that we make a roof for this to help with the sound the problem is I'm not I'm not talking like this when I do my videos I'm talking like that and all those sound does go out and nearly 360 degrees we've already talked about building something up here to help with the sound but I want to see how the insole quilt does first but anyway yeah I'm not gonna be able to show you guys in this video what the AC is like when it's done because as Phil so eloquently pointed it out I'm gonna be gone before it's done Phil will be enjoying my AC before me and I'm the one that paid for the damn thing all right well by the time you guys see this I'm on a boat out in the Caribbean just like a pirate true story you'll see it in an ad
