I'm lost. You've just repeated what I stated and expanded on nothing. My thinking was the sloewer the air passes through the filter, the more efficient the filtration will be. I have always read people stating that its good to have as much ducting between the fan and filter as possible. I'm not talking enough ducting that the fan no longer exchanges air at a suitable rate, but a compromise between the cfm of the fan, the required exchange rate, and the pressure when the air hits the filter.
Why would lower suction make the filter more effective?
I don't get the logic behind that....?
The idea that air can be sucked through the filter fast enough to lessen the filtration effects just doesn't equate, to me.
Less ducting = More suction (or pressure).
Surely this is a good thing....?
My temps have been dropping a little too low, during dark cycle
(I have 12 hours dark during the day - the warmest hours - but it's still cold)
So today I used a dimmer switch to lower the inline fan speed.
I have no way of measuring what percentage of speed I've lowered by but it's much quieter and feels far less 'energetic' (vibrations).
The temps in the tent stay higher (relative to outside temps) and there is still absolutely no hint of an odour - even when I stick my face in the ducting at the extraction point.
This makes me believe that carb filters can function perfectly well with much lower suction (air pressure) anyway.
But I don't think really high pressure would decrease the efficacy.
But, it still remains, the less ducting the more fan efficiency.
