I live on the top floor of a 4 bedroom apartment with a mini fridge in my room and it gets unusually hot during the day even with the blinds closed with the window a tad opened. I open my door and the windows in the living room but I can't seem to get any circulation going (My room is at the end, go straight 5m, then left 5m, then left 5m to the living room). Even during the cool night time it gets pretty hot yet no air is circulating out of the window with or without the door opened. Thus, my room usually stays about 5-6 degrees hotter than outside. Can a mini fridge really generate that much heat (I've tuned it down as low as possible) and any reasons why the air isn't coming in? BTW it's a small room 7x14 feet. I'm also curious how this'll turn out in the winter time if someone can answer that as well.

If I moved my mini fridge to the back of the room or at least futher away from the window, could that cause some cold air to circulate in? Since the hot air from the fridge would rise, then it would travel to the window and the window would return the air? Because right now it's close to the window.

instead of trying to pull air from the outside in , turn the fan so it blows the inside air out, it will draw cooler air to your room , i had an upstairs room in Nevada growing up as a kid , and that's the way i found

Go with the first answer -- fan in front of the window. Make sure the door is open and the fan is blowing out the window to help establish a draft. Or, if it's cooler outside, pull outside air in but if you don't open a door it will be hard to establish air flow to replace the warm air of your room.

Put a fan in front of the open door or windows and it will pull in the cool air

If you put a fan in the doorway you should be able to rcirculate some air in from that. I would suggest getting a ceiling fan and that would circulate the air in your room. Good Luck! and in the wintertime circulate your fan in reverse.....

as a substitute of that frozen bottle, fan undertaking, you will get a swamp cooler. it is an identical thought because of the fact the bottle/fan undertaking, yet designed to kick back. it is greater fee effective than an air conditioner, does not use as lots electrical energy, and is transportable. A swamp cooler approximately two times the dimensions of your computer tower might fee around $70. different then that, there is no thank you to kick back your room on your concern.

window fans work wonders they can pull air in or they can act as an exhaust fan, i myself pull air in during warm weather and reverse it to push stale air out in the winter
