Hey Guys,

this will be the first threat i open up in the english speaking section od IC. Please forgive me any mistakes in spelling and grammar as I am no native speaker and sometimes .

This theat will be an on going presentation of what I am working at the moment.

At the moment I am bulding two fanhouses to use full radial fans as ductfans.

I started with cutting the wood witch is "OSB 12mm".

22x38mm woodprofiles are use for inner structure:

Bottom/Topplate is ready:

As I began with the sides my akku screwdriver died... so I had to roll on and turn on

[Grow_engineer]

Should have been a warning befor using a rotating blade saw in it

Oh thank you brennenstuhl, now i have to modify a screwdriver to change the fuse!

 

[Grow_engineer]

As I had to close down for rain at noon i started over again in the afternoon:

You might imagin what it will be:

Time for the fan to take a seat:

No beauty but i dont want to have any leaks!

 

[Grow_engineer]

As the Fan was in final postion i started adding the noise killing material

Angled Cut vor the Inlet

Inlet in position

Everything ready for the final steps.
Power cable is connected to condensator and Fan and ends just outside the box waiting for the transformer.

Looks great! There's something to be admired about German craftsmanship.

Finaly everything is in Place:

lookin forward for some more of your work-shows...????

excellent

bless!

hey there,
i saw the red buds you posted in colorful herbs thread.
would you please describe that process or point me to a thread?
thanks cp

May I suggest using styrofoam board (1" or 2" thick) instead of wood to reduce chance of any mold issues. Great idea!

 

[ellinho]

good job engineer!

how many cbm/h does that thing pull?

 

[Grow_engineer]

Its abput 800m³/h in 230V Mode. 400V Mode it is 1200m³/h.
The "Wood" is kind of laminated Plate, Id did never have had any mold problems ever usind this material.
Plus its venting my Flowering Room were I want to stay under 50% RH

@Chunkypics:

I used Glasses with airtight Lids and realy wet Bud. The Glases were put unto an Towel and stayed at the Radiator (to keep the Roomtemerature in cold Blackwood-Forrest) for about 7 day, opened an put on a paper to get fresh air and give away some Humidy for about 30min all day.
Then be stored without new air for 7 days @ ~35-40*C.

 

[Grow_engineer]

Just setting up a DIY RO-System. Capacity will be arround 1-1.5L/min.

 

[meltybubble]

Some good plans to follow!
Cheers.

 

[Vhghost]

awesome!

Smart thread!... I'm subscribed.

in im man..

 

[growcodile]

very nice thread grow engineer .. thx!

looking forward to see the rest of your DIY RO system .. so you are using 4 parallel RO filters ? what membrane are you using ?

 

[Grow_engineer]

Hey Guys,

here are some details about my ro-system:

I am using 3 10" filterhousings. first a 5µm PP-Filter, then a actice coal grain filter and last a active cole blockfilter.
5µm keeps out plagues and sediments, active coal kills all chlorides in the water.

after the Filtersystem, which is equiped with 2 pressure gauges to see if the filteres are still open or create a pressuredrop, there is a 36V, 2A pump that supplies the Membranes with a pressure of 8.6bar.
4 100gpd membranes are used parallel. They are fed trough a common 3/8" line. The clear/waste ration will be arround 1:1.2/1.5. The system uses 2 magnetic Valves, one to shut of the inflow, one for automatic flush after use (this is nessesary since we do have very hard water) to prevent the membranes from blocking.

The system should deliver 1L/min of clean water with less than 10µS/cm, thats why no Tank is needed. Mybe i´ll add a uv-sterilisation since i even drink and cook with this water...
