Yes, there are about 5 other threads of this on page asking similar questions, but I'd like to ask a question to think on.
So what would be the issue with a fan and filter actually in the attic so there is only ducting in your room or tent heading up from the air cooled hood?
Air cooled hood =====> Ducting =====> Fan pushing through filter in attic.
This way you limit noise, air is vented out, space is maximized and air is scrubbed so long as your ducting is all sealed. It would work for anything inside of that area.
I just have a hard time believing the following would scrub 100% of the air comparatively.
Carbon Scrubber ====> ducting ====> Air cooled hood ====> ducting ====> Fan in attic ====> exhaust air.
Maybe with a cooltube that would work, but with an open air cooled hood, I feel like air would be pulled through the hood more than the carbon filter. I feel as if that system would only ever work for a cooltube that is fully enclosed.
What I hear a lot say is best - setting a carbon filter with fan connected right to it, and pull air from the filter to push through the air cooled hood where it will finally get exhausted. Do you really want all that noise and space being taken up inside the tent or room itself though? These powerful inline fans are industrial grade for the most part - they can easily be placed in the attic and do just fine.
Carbon Scrubber => Fan ====> Air cooled hood =====> Exhaust ducting. (Would you guys say this is best?)
I just don't see what's wrong with throwing the two biggest pieces of the puzzle into the attic so air is blown directly from fan into filter - just take the pre-filter off. Negative pressure, scrubbed air, no problems.
Would like someone with a well functioning pull setup to post a few pictures of how they have things set up.
