thanks, that what i figured!matt,
You'll need a centrifugal fan for sure. The duct booster isn't strong enough. Good luck. -granger
My question is, why does it say Max Exhaust CFM 200cfm but Max Recirculating (Scrubbing) CFM: 400cfm? Does this mean I need to run it at 400cfm to get odor control?
Hi, is it possible for scrubber to be too big? I have 350m/h fan and about the same size scrubber, but it isnt doing its job anymore so well. So i have one about 1000m/h scrubber in storage and im thinking is it too big? Can somebody enlighten me of what would happen if i put a 350m/h fan sucking air through 1000m/h scrubber?
Lots of good info on airflow.
I have a question though.. as far as whats good for the plants, how did you (the op) come up with exchanging the air once per 5 min? It doesn't seem logical that fresh air could be bad. I mean.. I'm not talking about temp, RH, VPD or air directly blowing excessively on the plants. Just fresh co2 and o2 turning over in the room. I mean if the plants were outside.. they would get fresh air turning over constantly. I'm just curious where the 5 minutes came from.
I'm gonna suggest, air-cooled hood/filter/fan------>outside
It'll keep your glass cleaner thus allowing more lumens to get to your plants. Scrubbers, bought or homemade always leave fine particles on your hoods glass.
It works more than well, go for itI just asked the same question and the consensus was it will be fine. Since you already have it, you have nothing to lose to try it out.
That said, I'll rep you hard if you try it and post your results.
