How to set up Carbon filter on outside of cabinet? Help please :)

[old toke]

if you don't have room inside for a big filter you can try an" ordor sok" I have a 100mm carbon filter on a extractor fan inside my tent and have the odor sok attached to the ducting outside the tent, so one filter being sucked through and one blown through(sounds a bit suss haha) absolutely no odor, works well, so they will suck and blow at the same time, I don't think this would work as well in reverse as the large carbon filter would have more resistance than the odor sok, by the way any you boys use them?

thanks for all your input, and thanks to the ones who can read i DONT have room on the inside so i needed a solution not a "NO you can only pull through them not push".

 

cheers guys and girls!

You shouldn't blow though the filter as it's designed to be sucked though, you will get a bit of restricted airflow and possible dust inside the filter.

You could try to build a box around the filter. so it's contained then have the proper flow.

odor sok is a flexible lightweight carbon filter, has no metal frame, can be bent and pushed a bit, ideal for confined space, works well, google them up.
