Yeah TT fans are not fit for purpose really.

My fans are both less than 187m3/h and one of them vents a 60x120cm and 90x90cm 240w and 320w of lighting
my other vents a 1mx1m with a 315cmh

Just out of curiosity are you pulling air in the same window your extracting out of?

What temp is the room the tent is in? Or what temp is your house?

Edit, im in UK so my climate is considerable cooler than yours. What works for me wont be enough for you and if your climates already hotter than you want your tent then no amount of air exchange is going to lower that. Unless you have AC running in the house.

Ive tried with small intractor in Room floor and extract to a window. I have 400 hps and a small clip fan inside. I am currently now trying with the passive open and letting it run for about an hour Just to check temps and rh *crossed fingers*

Just did a quick calculation.

If your room is consistently 23degrees C (73.4f)
You want 320cfm or 543m3/h to stay at 25.5c (78f) in your tent.
SO the prima kilma EC fan with speed control would be a good option if you cant find an AC infinity

How can I avoid turning off the fan when the temp drops below? Does humidity kicks him on again? Or need to run intake all the time when that one will be off? Or better to buy S series? They are not availible in EU now anyway... Do they provide also EU plug or need to use reduction. They can be send from USA but the fees are around 75% of the price plus 33 bucks shipping...

Assume your talking the ac infinity and not the prima kilma?


Apparently the temp controlled fan will shut off rather than just go to an idol speed, I think theres a way around it but it means the alarms start beeping which would piss me off. I think the humidity setting is an either or situation, as in you can set it to work on humidty or on temp but not both.

I do not own one and im going on what diyleduk told me about them and its why he wasn't going to be restocking the temp controlled versions because people were complaining about fans cutting off which obviously means smell can start to leak when extraction stops.

If I remember right @TreeFiddy350 has one and had some way of making sure it doesn't turn off which involved setting alarms.
Maybe ask him for more details (if ive got the right person)
Diyled isn't listing them so you could email him and vividled are still listing them but are sold out but worth shooting them and email too.

I just picked up an AC Infinity S6 to replace a can fan. Impressed, it’s high priced for a plastic fan but I’m glad I waited. It sure moves a lot of air quietly.

I didn’t bother with their temp controller and used my existing inkbird. It does more than theirs.

Their stock issues should be fixed shortly, the latest run just hit suppliers.

that said - a vortex or can fan or any good fan on a variac will do as well. AC Infinity does have a very slick package though.

I believe so cause every time i get this question ac infinity comes up, but there are other solutions like the PK125EC-TC wich i believe is cheaper and i got my eyes on it! Just have to wait now. I tried tonight a lot of different setting with my currrent tt vents 100. I tried unplugging the filter and only passive i take and the temps Just rocketed. Im with a tent built inside my Room Just occupying space until i get money for the prima klima...
