I'm searching for a fan right now, and I have my eye set on an Elicent 4" Fan - 152 CFM. I'm going to use this at the top of my enclosure for the exhaust, vented into a carbon filter.
Now, noise is a huge factor for me. I have heard great things about how quiet this particular fan is...and being only 4" I feel good, but still nervous about how loud it may be.
What is the easiest way to use a thermostat controlling when the fan comes on and off, and at the same time, using a speed controller to control fan speed?
I'm building a board to go on the wall behind the enclosure which will hold the power strip, timer, thermostat and fan plugs. (I'll be using a thermostat control that uses a probe so I can leave the electronics on the outside). Would it be easier to hardwire a controller for the fan, or can I plug the fan into a plug-in type controller, and then plug the controller into the thermostat?
