Has anyone ever created a carbon filter specifically to filter the exhaust from a portable A/C unit?
My unit vents out the back through a ~ 5" duct and out a window vent. We lit an incense and turned on the unit to gauge the smell outside and the entire side-yard of our house stunk like Nag Champa... not good! (I should mention here that we also use this room to smoke in daily, so it's not just the plant smell I'm trying to eliminate) There are a ton of carbon filter threads here, and I've read a good amount of them... Before I started off building something from my own design, I figured I'd post this specific question in case someone knows of existing plans for this situation. Also am not sure how much I could restrict the airflow before the A/C began to fail. Thx, DB |

However, we also had a concern of sound leaking out to our neighbors (who knows wtf we're saying in there while we're loaded ) so I built a new window panel today with some insulating foam sandwiched in between plywood. It feels pretty solid so I'm hoping it does the trick.Then I'm going to fit a "boot" onto it and run some insulated ducting from the boot to the exhaust outflow on the a/c unit. Once that's done, I imagine I'll be ready to fire it up for a test w/ just the replacement carbostat A/C filter. If that first pass doesn't get rid of the odor to our satisfaction, I'll break out the carbon pads and stuff them in the exhaust hose. If that still doesn't work, I'll fashion an in-line carbon filter of sorts by sealing some carbon in between screen and inserting it along with the pads. Ordered the boot yesterday and I'm 3 weeks into flowering. From past experience, I'll probably want to pick a bud here or there in the next week or so. Will update as I progress. |
