Indoor Air Flow Question PLEASE TAKE A LOOK!!

Hey guys i have a question about intake air im using a 4X4 tent seems to get a bit hot so what i did i have a furnace duct that runs right over the tent so i was attached a 4 inch duct to it and vented in inside my tent, now i only have my furnace fan running but not the furnace itself, my house temp is 71F right now so that is the temp of the air blowing into the tent, my question is, that thing blows air like a jet motor must be like 400CFM or some shit its really strong but my extraction fan is only like 150cfm will that matter? why i did it was to keep my heat temp down as it was like hot as a Jamaican firecracker at about 32C and now its down to 24-25C but does it matter that there is more air blowing into it then out?

Yes, at least it's my understanding that you want negative air pressure in the tent rather than positive...for exhaust to be stronger than intake. At least that's my understanding. It seems that you want to reduce temps by extracting the hot air...the negative air pressure then aids in air exchange.

my 2 cents

ya my intake is like crazy ass powerful but my extraction is like 150cfm, i no its back wards but will it hurt anything

What I'm wondering is whether or not you could "T-junction" into that high air flow source (furnace)
and use it like manifold vacuum on a car engine to operate on the exhaust side of things.

I don't know for sure if the current set-up is actually harmful or just "not optimal"

im just trying to find out a way to keep it cooler thats why i tryed it

I get it...I'm battling temps all the time.

im making a home made cool wing for it today i will tell ya how it goes

i am a handy guy i can hook it up to the retune side of the furnace and use it as a extraction but i think im gonna try and make my own homemade cool hood for it and see if that helps with temps
