carbon filter to cooltubes

[wjr]

hey guys just wondering would this work if i sucked air through carbon filter then through 400watt cooltube then 600watt cooltube then to extraction fan (6 inch inline centrifungal) or would i loose to much suction? maybe better off having a seperat fan for cooltubes?

i`ve drawn air from a room and pushed it through the filter with success ... as apposed to drawing air through the filter from the room

 

im guessing if ya drew air from the room, through the tubes and then out through the filter...might work

just make sure nothing can be drawn into the tubes and onto the globes

 

good luck

Push it through the cool tubes rather than sucking, it saves the motor from being exposed to the heat of the lamps, but either way it will work. There is very little resistance in the cool tube to worry about.

 

So I would go Filter -> Fan -> cool tube 1 -> cool tube 2 ->exterior vent.
