Hi I need some advice.
I am in the process of building a homemade car storage shelter (wood frame, with clear tarp (velcro doors), a bit like this air chamber but not as easy to see through: air chamber link
The shelter is located inside a typical damp UK workshop, with a car I am restoring inside. The size is 5m by 2m x 2m (20m3). The purpose of it will be 3 fold:
1. To prevent condensation - in the winter there is plenty of it
2. Media blasting - I can blast parts of the car without getting the media all over the rest of the workshop
3. Paint oven - not a proper oven just to help maintain temperature when epoxy primer is drying during restoration work
I need help with the condensation side of it. What is the best way to maintain humidity?
My choices are
A. Computer fans (i.e 12v)
B. Any fan which can move air
C. Dehumidifier
D. Heater
What should i use? What is the best method to control it. Should I try and control humidity and temperature? For fans...how many m3 changes per hour needed?
Thanks in advance,
Luke
