I knew I wouldn't be able to spend a lot of money on odor control, even though I really need it. So I put this together at work and wanted to get some opinions. I think it will work but have a few questions.
It's made of 1/8" thick steel fully welded from the inside. I also leak tested it, not because I thought an air leak would hurt anything but to make sure my seldom used welding skills are still there. It is 12-1/2" x 12" x 20". With (2) 5" inlets and (1) 6" outlet. The out may need to get bigger but right know I have a 6" fan so thats what it is. There are 2 ins because I plan on having (2) 600w lights in the future with some DIY air cooled hoods. I bought the filters you see in the pic, I got 2 and plan on cutting them in half so there are 4 layers of filter. The side is removable for access to change the filters, I have rubber seals to put around the edge to help with leaks. You can see the hooks to hang it from my ceiling. I plan on finishing it tomorrow and painting it.
Know for my questions...
1. Do you think it will work?
2. Is that to much filter?
3. How should I space them? I thought it would help air flow to have them 3" apart instead of all together like 1 thick filter.
If you have any comments or suggestions I would love to hear them.
