Adding a server closet return.
Air handler closet vent.
There is a pipe that goes through the wall and connects the air handler with the compressor.
The air handler is in the closet.
Ducts push and pull air to this central location cooling and delivering it rooms in your home through the vent system.
The first is that i installed a return air vent in the server closet ducted to the return air side of the home a c unit.
If the supply ducts are in the floor then the return air should be located up high.
This pulls the air across your body.
What we need to do is exhaust the warm air from the room not inject air.
There are two options for venting a closet.
While this will vent the closet it will also blow air into the attic and requires moving or adding duct work along with extensive electrical wiring.
The first is to install an exhaust fan like those found in bathrooms.
To solve for exhausting this heat i took a two pronged approach.
The return air vent openings need to be on the opposite side of the room so the conditioned air is pulled across the room.
However if the heater you have is not able to handle the extra square footage then your best bet is getting a bigger heater and air conditioning unit.
If your heater can handle the extra vent go for it.
The return air plenum must be air sealed so that the only air that enters the plenum is air coming from the house through the filter backed grille.
Supply air from furnaces and air conditioners should be on outside walls.
What would we do without delivery.
Create or modify an air sealed closet to contain the air handler and the return air plenum.

So is our water heater the unit everyone calls a compressor is outside the closet.
So you may think of changing the filters or cleaning the air handler ducts to solve the.
As the air flow is reduced the temperature of the air goes below the dew point and causes sweating.
The problem with bedrooms occurs in houses where the hvac design did not include return vents in each bedroom.
One mistake people make is thinking they can just add a vent and the heating problem will be solved.
The other option is to add a two way vent above the closet doors.
Due to the chocked filters or blocked duct or maybe for whatever reason if the air flow is restricted then there will be chance of sweating.
In a mini split system you have individual indoor units located in each room.
