70cfm to cool 220w?
- Thread starter Ganico

What kind of fan is it? A muffin (PC) fan won't be able to deal with a scrubber...

it wont be able to cool 220w with high ambient temps...it will only be able to keep it within like 10-15 degrees of ambient temp...i think i cant find th chart i have or i would post it
A 265 dayton would work...but a 4" inline would be better (and more efficient).

a 4" inline from home depot moves 80cfm and will keep a 150w within like 5 degrees of ambient and i run the 6" rated at 250 cfm and it will keep my 150w within like 2 of ambient
Those duct booster fans at HD aren't worth a damn if you're using a scrubber tho...they're not able to deal with back pressure at all hardly.

i wanna say that if i ran my hd fan with a small scrubber the cfm would significantly drop, but im trying to build an un-traditional scrubber that wouldnt inhibit cfm so greatly.

Unfortunately, your fan doesn't stand a chance at cooling a 70 watt MH, and a 150 watt HPS....it just wont work. Not even without the scrubber.
You need one of these, grasshopper. The initial cost is high, but they have at least 5 years warranty, and can suck the heat right off the bulb.
Then you'll be smoking lots of this...

A stanley blower would probably take care of it as well...they're usually around $40 at HD + a few bucks for fittings.
