These Fans Are The Real Deal !!

Strictly for temp control. I exhaust into my attic so odor really isn't a problem. I am just wondering if one 4" dryer duct is gonna make a shit load of suction noise and be overkill for 1 light. With no fan now and the door open it gets up to 88 degrees so I needed exhaust.

:leaf:this little jewel is 28.00 at home depot look under fan thermostat..and i believe the TD100 can be run on a rheostat...:leaf:

hey, is that the temp settings in the middle? to small to see..but if it is this may be what i need to contol temp..i would use it on a portable A/C unit to keep temps optimum in grow tent in my 10'x25' garage:idea::?:

I'm gonna use the td-100 to vent a small cab with 150w hps. I live in a cold climate (Norway). My cab is 25"x25"x60".

Which maximum capacity should my carbon filter have?
Probably gonna use sound insulated ducting too, so
I'm worried about the airflow.

Even though the cfm rating for varius filters says e.g. 100cfm max, they will still have different pressure loss(?) and it's so difficult to find any info about this for the varius small filters.

As a rule, will a filter with 2kg carbon (10" long) cause
more pressure loss than a filter with 2kg karbon (18" long) ?

:confused:

can these be mounted without the ends/reducers if mounting in a tight space?

or can one end without the reducer be mounted straight up against the end of a vented reflector?

would a td 100x be enough to exhaust a 400 hps in 32cu feet space with a filter?

I am a little disappointed at the strength of the td-100 I bought. I enclosed the light hood for my 400w hps light and ran about 10' of 4" dryer duct up to the attic. My space is about 48 cu/ft. I run the fan and the light with the door closed and it still reaches over 90f. I was using a cheap $5 fan that I rigged up and it was about the same. What is the issue? I have it wired up right and the duct is as straight as possible. I may have to get a booster fan also. But I figured for the money I shouldn't need one.

The fan is pulling from the very end of the duct. I'll try to straighten the duct as much as possible but I was expecting a little more suction from it. Even when I first wired it up and tried it without anything on it yet I was surprised that it didn't have as much as I thought it would.

where exactly is the fan?

that may be your problem

should be closer to the light, imho


and also.... that light reflector isnt fully coolable

And it would release all its smoke. Its not rated for the loads an AC would toss on it. Its *just* a fan controler.

question 1..... does that reflector have any glass on it? if not i dont think it will be an effective cooling hood


question 2.... do you care about odor? ifso your unsealed light will give you odor problems

I used a piece of glass that I had and it was perfect fit. I then cut a hole in the end of the hood and taped in the duct. Then I removed the other end of the hood for the air intake. Odor is not an issue. I used aluminum duct tape for all the seams and the duct. I used to work as a ductwork installer so I have a little knoledge of this kind of thing but was just wondering. Maybe I'll move the fan to inside the closet and cut it into duct next to the light. I'll try it in the morning.

keep me posted. you may not necessary have to have the fan inside the tent perse.... the one for my light isnt. its to the right of the tent

same here, i got mine (td-150)sittin oustide my tent, it cools the hood and maintains negative pressure in the tent while pushing through a carbon scrubber. i like these fans

using a TD series fan, 2 questions.

do you use them to push or pull?

carbon filter before the reflector (inside the cab) or after the fan, outside the cab?

I moved my fan from in the attic to inside my closet and the temp is settled at about 81-82. Not as low as I would like but It has had no ill effects on the plants so I'll manage. I'll make a true cool tube setup soon and that should do the trick.
