Would this fan be powerful enough to vent a 400w HPS closet grow

It's a 32w german blower fan made by ebmpapst with a 70% discount from the wholesale
price of $50. $15 each and they have 100 of them. I need some fans before my plants go
into flowering because i don't want to do outdoors again, it's too much work with guerrilla
grows.

They don't have the information on the fans like CFM because they can't find it
but they're getting positive feedback. It spins at 1800 RPM.

Do you think two of these fans would be adequate enough to cool a 6x2x8 closet with
a 400w HPS in it. I should have gotten a 250w but the 400w HPS setup
was only $60 USD. I will be cutting holes in the closet ceiling for ducting,
maybe even replacing one of the roof tiles with wood for outside
ventilation.

Here's the link to the ad.

I already won this 100mm inline fan for $1 but i'm guessing this isn't going
to cool anything. Maybe i'll use it for the cfl box.

It should be fine. When I first started I had a smaller fan then that with a 600. Fucker just looks noisy though

That's what i'm worried about. Don't tell my landlord but there's a huge centrifugal fan that sucks air out of the living room
into the master bedroom. The duct has fallen off of the fan and has been off since i moved in so i was thinking
of comandeering that fan and throwing the $15 in. They told me they don't care about the heat pump and
not to call if i have any problems with it so i might just keep the thing. They cost about $200 a fan
brand new.

Says 240 volts?
I live in new zealand. Our mains are 240v or something.

I don't know, all i know is it works with our outlets

What about the fan i've already bought. It moves
23l/s, 85m[SUP]3[/SUP]/hr of air

Is it only good for the CFL setup

Ahhh...I'm Yank..lol Do they shaft you on shipping?
Shippings good too. They'll send up to 4 of them for $10. But it's still $10 if you want only 1

The guy hasn't received any negative feedback regarding the fans.
