You can buy from most major retailers a small compressor powered refrigerated portable air-conditioner that is one complete unit around the size of a esky tilted on its side. They come with a 150mm flexible duct that you stick out of a door or just cut a small 150mm opening down low and stick it outside ,this duct transfers the heat from the condenser coil to the outside air. They have a water container in the bottom that you need to empty every so often. Get at least one that has a capacity of 3 to 4 kilowatts. The TCL brand sold by Retravision has the largest capacity of 4 kilowatts and this unit still runs of a 10 amp plug. All of the other heat improvement methods mentioned before will work but if you are going to use you dome during the day for processing work ect, you will need to put in an A/C to get rid of the humidity.
