So Im curious if this would work. My room is about 60 cubic feet, and I dont really wanna run another fan but I will if I have to.
SO, I have a 170 CFM inline fan(HTG) and I want to pull air through my cool tube and filter with it. Instead of running them in a series, such as:
Filter connects to duct connects to cooltube connects to duct connects to intake of fan
I was wondering why you couldnt do it with a Y-pipe.
1 4" on one side and 2 on the other. If the intake pulled on the side with 1 , wouldnt that create a negative pressure to pull through the light/filter on the other 2 sides?
basically I want to run a seperate intake vent through the light to help keep tems down, and use the same fan for the light/filter. I think the fan will do it, for sure. Im just curious if there are any obvious reasons not too, you know like been there done that kinda stuff.
Seems like a no-brainer to me. For sure it would work. BUT, until it does why not ask the guru's right? The fan sounds like a jet engine, its pretty loud. I setup the speed controller and dialed it down to 2/3 power and my temps are still good but once I setup the filter I think full juice will be needed on the fan. I think my fan can do it though since the current setup is working great.
My temps are low 70's, so even if it got warmer by a few degrees but was able to run everything it would be worth it. I dont really want my filter running through the light in a series because I here that causes needed cleaning in the tube all the time from the carbon.
Any comments on that?
Thanks in advance!
