Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC vs HOT WEATHER, WHAT TO DO??.

Hi Luis;

Well obviously if it is 100 outside there is no way to drop below that
without some sort of cooling system. Such a system would not be
pratical without a completely insulated garage. So that is your first
decision do you want to spend the money to insulate.

If the temperature in your garage is well above 100 but you can find 100
itself tolerable roof mount fans may help. By the way even here
insulation will help. In the same manner it may be possible to
implement some passive devices such as a thermo siphons. Anything to
pull the hot air up will help.

Another consideration is shade trees. This of course takes some time
before it is effective, but you would be surprised how a much a couple
of shade trees can impact heat gain.

If shade tress aren't possible then take advantage of that roof line and
add a few solar panels. Use the collected energy to cool the building.

Thanks
Dave
