No wrong you must convert your sq ft in to cubic ft before you can size a fan for the correct size CFM: definition Cubic Feet per Min. So if you have 18 sq ft space you will also need the height of the space to convert to Cubic ft ,Ok si you have 18 sq ft let say your height is 5ft then that would = 90 cubic ft ,so in that space alone a 90 cfm fan can exchange 100% of the air in that space in one min,and only if the required amount of fresh air can be supplied , in this case at 90 cfm there would have to be a 6 inch round duct entering the space to supply fresh cooler air. with out the proper amount of fresh air comming in you are just wasting your time ,its about moving air not hindering it ,I dont no how to grow yet ,but thats because Ive been busy moving air for a living over 30 yrs.
