105m3. fan with 75m3. carbon filter?

[kkmmbb]

Hey, i was wondering. Have i made a mistake and got the wrong things??

I have this fan:
Ø 100mm, 230v, 14w, 0.085A, 105m3/hour airflow, 2300rmp

Then i got this filter:
Can, 1500, 75m3/hour

Will this fan run too much air through the filter and mess it up? Or will it do fine? The cabinet im using it in is 500x500x1200mm.

I was also wondering about whether or not i could dim the fan? I think it is a factory voltage hardwired fan, so it cant be dimmed. I tried two different dimmers i had, but they made the fan unstable and could only barely run it or run at full speed. Weird. Do i have to buy a heady duty expencive one to dim the fan???

Please help me, im lost

The carbon won't have a chance to remove smell if it goes thru the carbon too fast. I don't know if that is the case here. Can site calls for a 4" axial fan.

Oka thanks for the reply mate, hmm thought it might be too much suck power for the filter like u say.

Thing is, i already tried these two dimmers but with no luck. They could only run fan at full speed, or at barely anything.

"220V 2000W speed controller SCR voltage regulator dimming"
From Ebay for aprox. 2$ - Didn't work

Dimmer from hardware store, for about 15-20$. - Didn't word either.

Will i have to get this kind that kost me aprox. 100$ in my local hardware store??. (shits expencive where i live)

speed regulators only cost $50 or less - I personally bought mine for like $30. You will need one to not destroy your fan motor (like dimmers do)

(its like those you have on the last picture)

On a side note: you should never use that kind of fan with a carbon filter. They suck. Get a proper in-line fan.

A tip would be to simply get an in-line fan with built in speed regulator. Then you won't have to waste more money on this kind of issues. You can use the current fan as an inlet fan.
