I wouldnt think you wouldneed a controller . Dont forget you will need a fan to force the air in and a silencer is always a big help.Do you think the fan is big enough for your area ? Im no guru but i bought a fan once with a filter and blew my dosh by getting one that was too small

ive recently bought a fantech 150mm centrifugal and a Phat 150mm filter.

One word - wicked. Zero smell, and I've just picked a crop. Also, wicked ventilation. It's also brilliant to dry in.

Don't know if you'd need any intake fan with a good centrifugal. It'll suck the air stright through any intakes. I think the one you are looking at bill is the 160L/s job.

If i were u I'd just work out how often you want/need to empty your room, and get the appropriate sized fan/filter combination.

Luke Skywalker was a great help to me. He really knows his shit about this stuff.

Re installation and any extra gear. I bought some chain to hang it, and wrapped the fan and first metre or so of ducting in some thick towels, taped with duct tape.

Re the speed controller. I haven't found the need for one, and my room is about 1/3 smaller than yours. Suck it and see I reckon.

wow its really overwhelming findin a fan and filter

fantech u say black saint??

any other thoughts would be good

thanks guys

i havent used a carbon filter before but the 150mm filter would be suitable to use with most if not all 150mm centrifugal fans and u wont want to put the fan speed controller on the centrifugal fan they have a stalling spot IMO its pretty much pointless u can only reduce around 30% before the motor starts to stall

[blacksaint]

I havent found the need for a speed controller bil.

Are you wanting to reduce noise, or reduce air flow?

 

Once you hook the fan up to the carbon filter, you'll lose a fair bit anyway, some say 20-30%.

bil, you will be very pleased with the Fantech, as I said. It's a quality bit of gear.

 

How ya gonna hook it all up?

[blacksaint]

yeah billo,

 

thought this might be useful to ya if you haven't calculated it.

 

Your room is 3.16m3

So it holds 3160 Litres

 

The Fantech is rated at 205L/s

So at peak performance, it'll empty your room about every 15 seconds. Wicked.

 

Add to this figure the effect of the attached can filter and ducting, where will lose a bit of pressure, say 10s worth as a guess, and you're still emptying your room more than twice a minute. Great ventilation, more CO2, more moderate temperatures.

 

Oh yeah, and of course, zero smell.
