Tent setup questions

[dbo24242]

installing a cooltube system into a xl tent and need to figure out how to run the exhaust system.

intake is passive through the side vents and exhaust is active via 170cfm fan. like I said, cooltube system and carbon filtration will go down here but I'm not entirely sure how it will run yet here are a few of my ideas.

exhausting fan sucking from y junction connected to cooltube drawing air from outside and charcoal filter sucking air from room running 24 hrs.

I'm guessing I'll need to run the fan for most of the day otherwise I'd put it on a timer, but I do have a speed controller
(4.6 * 4.6 * 6.6 = 139.65600 cu ft in room)

another possibility would be a cheap inline fan keeping air moving thru the cooltube and the centrifugal fan exhausting and filtering...

or filter on the other end of the cooltube, then exhausting straight on through... that seems like a pretty good one.

I can tell you right now, one fan (especially a 170CFM one) is not sufficient for exhausting your room (especially through a filter) and cooling your light.

Check out my journal for pics of my setup (435CFM just for cooling the light, 435CFM pulling through a filter, and 170CFM for intake), or you can see some youtube videos I did - just do a search for "SOGBobSmith" and seven one minute videos come up.

Good luck.

yeah so it would work without the carbon filter I have an extra fan but don't really want to use it I might see what I can do with my DIY carbon filters to kill the smell and still keep the CFM above a slug crawl.
