G'day
I have a stealth cabinet design that I'm trying to work out the venting/fan for.
It is 2 2x2.5 foot cabinets and are 7-8 feet tall. The cabinets have a shared exhaust on the top, and will then have their own passive intake through the floors. I am going to try and have the intake come from an adjoining room via 4inch pvc pipes run under the floors and wall (I would use 3-5 in each cabinet). Each pvc pipe will be about 3-4 feet long, and have a short L bend at each end.
I tried to draw a picture on sketchup to show what I mean, but I'm not great with that stuff. The 2 sections on the bottom are the 2 cabinets. The section on the top is the where the fan/exhaust will be. The 2 black lines on the bottom are where the intake will be.
What size fan do you think I would need? I currently have a 6 inch 370cfm fan. I want to keep volumes down so if this is way over the top, would love to downgrade.
Will the fan be able to pull air across that sort of distance (through the pipes)? I want to do it like this because the room it is pulling air from is air condtioned and I don't have access to outside intake, which would mean my intake and exhaust would be from the same room.
Once I've mounted the fan I will try and take some pictures, but if I could get answers before then, I could remove the floor boards at the same time.
Cheers
