How could I best direct air for cooling in my apartment?
Hey all!
In the quest to cool my apartment this summer ive been trying to get a grapple on basic thermodynamics so I can absolutely change my sweaty bfs and my life for the better. I understand that hot air goes out and so I have tried using the open window with box fan facing out solution (detailed in attachment) but feel like its not working and I struggle to feel like I’m not letting more hot air in because the top of the window is not covered by the fan?
I have also tried to get hot air out from the bedroom to be cooled in the living room by the AC unit by propping a fan up high a yard from the doorway in the bedroom facing the hallway (not pictured). And using my tower fan on the floor facing in to blow cooler air into the bedroom, but I feel like because of the HORRID hallway/foyer set up air doesn’t even travel from the living room as it all gets negated by my front door.
Never posted on reddit but I’m desperate for some assistance, I am super open to learning more complex details about this as I am a big hobbyist and nerd. I know that the realistic recommendation is probably just get another air conditioner, but I don’t have the money right now; if you can think of a way my current objects can make a helpful change I would be grateful! Im not looking for like 15 degrees cooler but anything will help!!
TLDR; apartment layout from hell. Look at my layouts, tell me what you think could cool the apartment (especially bedroom) better, with my current unit and items.
