In a few months I plan to build a self contained soil/hydro cab with a cooltube setup cooling either a 400W or a 1000W HPS bulb.
The best estimate at the dimensions I can give right now would be 4' deep, 5' wide, 6' tall.
What I am looking for is to also build the exhaust system running like the following:
CoolTube >> Inline Fan >> Carbon Scrubber/Muffler >> Exhaust
The cooltube and fan ideally would be IN the cab with the scrubber OUTSIDE of the cab. So far, the designs that I've seen for scrubbers have all been that the air comes in through the middle of the scrubber and out the output but I need the air to come in one end and exit the other. This would properly pull air across the cooltube. I did see plans once for a scrubber made from a 5 gallon bucket, but I can't seem to find the plans at the moment. But this sort of enclosed air scrubber is what I'm looking for.
I also would like to make this a muffler so there is less fan noise coming out.
I ALSO need to find out whats the best kind of low noise fan that would be able to accomplish this in the under $250 range. And I _am_ correct in assuming that it's better that the fan push air through the scrubber versus pulling it out from the scrubber, correct?
