Best 10" Inline Fan?

[juno77]

Hiya, hope you all are having a great day so far.


I'm looking to get two 10 inch inline fans for my grow tent. One for intake, the other for outtake.


I'm trying to decide which one to buy as most of my options I have chosen so far are quite expensive so I should choose wisely.


Here are my options for 10 inch inline fans so far:

Hyper Fan Digital Mixed Flow Fan - 10 Inch | 1065 CFM | Energy Efficient Technology, Quiet Operation - 1065 rated CFM @ 170 Watt - $204.51x2

Or

Hyper Fan Stealth 10 in 1065 CFM - 1065 rated CFM @ ??? Watt - $336.99x2 - Supposed to be much quieter?



Does anyone know of any other 10 inch fans I can hook up with ducting rated for high static pressure like these fans that have 170 watts or less with rated 1000+ CFM? Or are these two choices my best bet?


Also is the "Stealth version" of the 10 inch Hyper fan you think worth it? Will it blow just as much air as the non stealth version or do you think with that added stuff to enclosure of the fan it will produce less air flow?

What size is your tent?
What are you using for AC?

Get it at 12 inch fan it will be quieter upsize ur fan and filter the. Run it slower it will be quieter.

Or duct down 12 inch to 10 inch.

Hey DrDankPHD, can you please suggest me a 12 inch fan?


I would love a 12 inch Fan, but not sure which one to buy.


Do you know of a fan that is better than the Hyper Fan Stealth 10 inch?

https://www.amazon.com/Hyper-Fan-Stealth-1065-CFM/dp/B00S27SSGQ


It is 1065 CFM @ 170 watts max stats, and very quiet with good static pressure. Do you know of any 12 inch model fan that has better CFM / Watt ratio than this 10 inch fan that is also quiet?


I have been looking for a long time, please point me in the right direction if you know of any or see any

You don't want to have your intake fan the same size as your extraction or you won't achieve negative pressure. Go lower on the intake. Have you looked at RVK fans?

 

[juno77]

I was planning on using an carbon filter on the intake fan which will restrict air flow so it won't be the same CFM as the outtake fan. Btw I'm dealing with 4,800 watts of in 4x2x7 gorilla grow tent

 

[dan1989]

Nearly 5000 watts in a space that small? Hopefully that size you gave is in meters

Canfilters.com. Their fans are decent there a 12" or 14". Just duct it down. Use speed controller. Can fans

4x2x7? 2'x4'x7' or 56 sq. ft.?????? A computer tower fan would cool that space. You're cooling space not wattage, fyi. And no Hyper Stealth will not restrict flow over the standard model.

Just noticed that using 4800 Watts? Is that just lights? That a lot of power for a 7 ft height tent. 4x2.

Assuming this is for flower. You can probably do one 7 ft not enough clearing for 1000 watt de. You'll have to dim it down. U might want use a 600w cmh. Dm if you need any help with lighting don't like To start light wars.

 

[DemonTrich]

4800w in a 4x2x7 tent.

Please post pics, I don' believe it. Unless 8x 600w bare bulb. Then it' way overkill. Too much light.

 

[sixstring]

Lol the tent is going to cave in from the pressure of the fan sucking air out.i use a 10in fan to exhaust a 22 x 18 x 10h room.
As far as noise those hyper fans are not quiet.they are good at moving air for the power they use.but my 10in vortex is much quieter than the 10in hyper is.and the hyper actually seems to get louder the more you slow em down until you get below 50%

 

[Burned Haze]

I’ve tried 5+ differnet brands over the years but if it was me I would pay the extra cash for a vortex cause not only do they seem to last longer but they seem to be quieter and the overall components are a grade above.

The pic doesn't really do it justice but you may be able to see how much my 5" rvk sucks in the walls of my 4' x 4' x 7' tent. I can't imagine how you would fit so many lights safely in the tent, but they would need to be air cooled at the very least. Besides that, your 10" fan would suck the sides in so far you would probably lose a square foot of space just from that. You're working with half the horizontal space I am, and the single HPS has taken up most of my space.

Btw yeah I know it looks a mess in the top of my tent with all the rope ratchets

• 4x8 Tent
• Hurricane 8 inch 745 CFM Fan x 2
• Phresh 24" Canister x 2

Both fans going out.. My tent vents act as the intake. So much negative pressure on full blast, it rips the tent at the seams. If you stick your head at the end of my vent, it's like riding a motorcycle at 60..

1. The guy who says he has 5000 watts isn't talking about real wattage out the wall. I'm running 4800 watts LED but it's closer to 1940 watts out the wall. It's still alot and far superior then running a 1000 watt HPS imo..

2.. Dan... Fire hazard bro.. Seriously lol..

This made me laugh because I did that and my tent nearly collapsed! You should of seen me scrambling to get the stupid fan shut off.

Don't worry, you can't see it in the pic but I've got the slack end of the ropes tucked nice and out of the way inside the hood where the bulb thingy is. I think someone said I need a balustrade or ballast or something but I plugged it straight into the wall and its been mostly fine.

Lol on a serious note the pic makes it look way worse than it actually is. Obviously the ones at the top holding the fan, filter are ok. The ones near the light look a little sketchy but I've got an LED that shines on the girls when the HPS is off, that will be gone soon when I'm back onto photoperiod. They are nice and out of the way from the light anyhow :)

Edit: I have a lumatek 600w ballast ;) and a fire extinguisher :D

FYI if I see u cool your hoods if up size your filter and 8" fan to suck out.

I used a 350 cmh.

You lose par with an enclosed fixture. Besides all the duct in tiny area.

Then I use a 6" duct fan blowing into the bottom of then tent.

Those soft green ties are great to keep all those rachet lines orgranized.

I like to keep electrical off the floor. organized. So they don't rub.
