will an axial fan (pc fan) work with a carbon filter?

diowk · May 3, 2010

I need a carbon filter but dont want to cough up the dough for an inline fan. I have a 235cfm axial fan seen here: http://www.bustan.ca/submenu.asp?menuID=1&SID=13
and I need the 200cfm carbon filter seen on the same page. Do I need the canmax fan or can I just get the filter and use the fan I already have since the cfm's work out?

ok, Ive just read they cant pull air under pressure like when getting sucked through a filter. are there any alternatives to the inline fan?

Yes, stack two PC fans together and this increases preasure and bang working PC fan filter!

I have a 12" carbon filter and was using a dayton 235 cfm 6" fan like the one on that page for $66, in a free air situation they are awesome, so for an intake into a chamber YES. For exhausting air through a pipe, no. I speak from trial and error myself. I eventually went to a dayton blower. For you I would say try this,

yeah thanks man. thats pretty much what Ive been hearing. I see people using inline duct fans though, ever try those?

Wow! they are so much cheaper than the can fans! thanks again man.

and they work perfect, I should know. I vent from the houses ac into the room and into the chamber via a T splitter, and on the flowering chamber side I have installed a 4" duct fan to boost the static pressure into the chamber where it receives another T and is divided into half for each side,

you are thinking of this however,

it works but for the price of the blower, hhmmmppfff
