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

[diowk]

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?

ya can make a carbon filter for 5 notes, activated charcol for pet shop. find a guide online and use fan ya got if not powefull enough stack another PC fan on top.

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?

 

[diowk]

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

wow thats really helpful. thanks man.
p.s.- Im using that 150w hps sun system on 5 babies right now
