blower I found on ebay

[untamed]

EDIT: REMOVED

how would this go for a carbon scrubber/exhaust for a small cabinet?

 

[bartender187]

Only one way to find out... I've personally never seen that particular design inline fan.

 

[untamed]

yeh, I might have to give it a go!

if it works, bonus..

 

[MTF-Sandman]

Those specs sounds very similar to the duct booster fans sold in the US (which are junk for using with a scrubber). The website mentions they work well with back pressure, but don't list any static pressure ratings - which reinforces my original thoughts.

it'll work, it'll just be noisy compared to a centrefugal fan.....but it'll work

 

[untamed]

hi all and thanks for the replies.

looks like I may have to go back to the drawing board!

 

[bounty29]

I was looking at those and getting hopeful when I first started out, but all I heard was they were no good with back pressure.

 

[untamed]

bounty, are you down under also?

Those fans really arent strong enough to do anything more than keep some air circulation. I have two similar ones and I just use them for general ventilation purposes since they couldnt cool a 600w digi cooltube enough to matter.

I don't think this fan will do the job with a carbon filter on etiher side.

I bought a dayton squirrel fan 146 cfm for 26$ on ebay. Works well and it is not too noisy.

TW: its extremely hard finding a fan in AUSTRALIA like the dayton! I wish I could get one here that efficient and quiet.

Darrrrr...SHE BLOWS!

I found another one, inline fan:

EDIT: REMOVED

will this work? I want to have air from the cabin getting sucked through a carbon filter, then through this fan.

Is this the type of fan I require?

 

[stealthballer]

pretty much same thing in each one

 

[untamed]

this one lists figures pressure however:

150mm
220-240volt 85 watt
inpedance protection
90 ltrs per second
(324 cubic ltrs per hour)
free air performance
max pressure 125pa
noise level 55db(a)
fan speed 2650rpm

 

[Harry Gypsna]

that one will do the trick... per hour, depending on ur space tht should work fine...
Out of curiosity, are you in a pretty out of the way area? Id have thought that you would be able to find an industrial ventilation supplier or growshop in Aus...
check out hydrocentre.com.au....they do mail order.. i googled that...similarly google ventilation and you will get industrial sites that sell to trade and some to the public......
but tht last fan looks like it would do the trick to me-depending on ur room and wattage of ur lighting of course.
hope that helps,
be lucky
***EDIT***
I just checked out the rest of the guys listings from the ebay link you posted and he has some centrefugal fans-theyre the best apart from acoustics, ...if u can manage it id spring for one of those-it will be worth it and they are very reliable. If ur on a tight budget though the other would work

hi harry

thanks for the feedback.

Its only a small cab, 250W HPS in flower and a few 2 foot T8's in the veg area.

 

[Harry Gypsna]

no worries, u may notice i just edited my post while u were reoplying to me lol....
Happy to help.
Be lucky

 

[untamed]

ahahha thanks.

would love a centrifigul fan, but budget is a little restricted.. also, if this inline fan is too loud, I may vent it out the back of the cab throm a 'foam' boxed muffler.. it will probably impede on the performance, but that should still be OK I think.

 

[untamed]

I have just come across this bad boy also:

*EDIT* LINK REMOVED (so no one else in AUS may purchase this good find) *EDIT*

seller tells me she is continuos rated and approx 70watt usage, 170 litres per second which equates to approx 360 CFM.. this is massive!

if you could provide me feedback on that one also, would be appreciated heaps!
