Guys are making my brain hurt. Lol. So a fan will have an intake and exhaust on it. I.e.either side. So whichever I decide to pull air out of my tent equipment inside the tent to push out, or equipment outside to draw fresh air in? Or is that all wrong?
you don’t want it pushing stinky air out. You want to pull the stinky air out if you can. All that means is putting the filter before the fan. It’s all the same length and fittings and tools.
Intake air you can push in. That’s fine.
but exhaust air you wanna try to pull out. And you want it to pull a tad harder than your Intake so It tries to “collapse” the tent a tinyyyy bit and causes a negative pressure and causes zero smell as no air can leave the tent because there is a vacuum due to your super strong exhaust sucking it hard as fk. Air can only enter the tent. Never leave if it’s like that.
now picture the opposite. A super strong intake and a weak exhaust... your tent would puff up and be like a balloon trying to expand and explode and shooting stinky air out of every single orifice and zipper hole and crack possible. You want the opposite.
you can have the fan inside the tent and pulling air.
you can have the fan outside the tent and pulling air.
either way you decide. Put the filter first before the fan!! Filter never goes after the fan. Every fan has a flow of direction and usually has an arrow too.
