I have a few questions about Fans, Blowers, Carbon Filters, and Air Cooled Lights.
I am constructing my first room and I am working on the ventilation at the moment. I would like to get some help, what I have done so far is not working very well.
Current Ventilation setup:
8" Fresh air supply coming from a conditioned area of the house, about a 20 foot straight shot with no bends or curves, it runs to the floor of my grow room.
I have an ECO 435 CFM cage fan connected to a duct box sucking air through the box. On the other side of the box I have 3 6" inlets 2 of which have 6" inline booster fans. One line with a booster goes to the carbon filter, the other goes to an air cooled light. The 3rd line runs to another air cooled light. The air cooled lights pull air from just above the room which is an unconditioned space other than the expelled air from the ECO fan. This way the air going through the lights doesn't pick up an odor.
I feel no air flow coming through the 8" inlet the room is 4x7x8. All the runs other than the 8" are shorter than 6 feet with almost no bends. The lights run pretty cool about 85 before the fans they would get to 97.
Room temp still gets to about 92-93 on hot days
I am thinking about putting the carbon filter on its own 6" Inline Centrifugal fan that way it would pull more air out of the room, thus hopefully pulling more in.
I would love any and all ideas or insight about this issue.
I would also love to hear feedback on what 6" Inline Centrifugal fans people have tried and liked. It seams that you can get one from $89-$299 that is rated at 440CFM. $89 sounds great but I real didn't want to have to buy this second fan and I don't want to go cheap and get put in another pinch.
