Can this fan be used with a carbon filter to scrub the air in a small internal room used for a gym

This is an excellent, quiet air mover. My guess you want to attach a small filter to the inlet. My thinking is you should consider a lesser model withhalf the cpm rating. A larger filter is always helpful.

I use a filtered duct cover in the room..attached to the intake duct. It does restrict airflow.. so remember to " upsize" intake vent..

An independent filter can be installed on the inlet side. Perfect for odor control.

Easy to clean. I think you could put a filter in, there's room. However I don'tknow how a filter will effect performance. I can say this fan is called Whisper! It is noisy!!

No, this fan is only for indoors. It is so very good looking that the outdoors will ruin it.

The charcoal filters are meant to be used when you don't have the access to vent the fan outside. If you already have it vented, there is no point in using them as I don't believe there would be any additional value. I hope this helps.

Not that big.....a small room would be best. Also MAKE SURE THE FILTER IS PLACED WHERE THERE ARE NO OBSRUCTIONS. I plugged it in by a window sill and found that small bit of wood was obstructing the air filter's effectiveness.

I don't think that this A/C unit will operate this way, but I'm not 100% certain about this. I believe that the outside and inside air can't mix, but I'm a little unsure about this, since there is a filter of some sort. (Our filter light came on after a few weeks of use, by the way, but I haven't yet figured out how to change this or even if this is critical.)I think that the "fan only" mode merely draws room air through the unit without any cooling.

It's a horrible idea to use this fan to get air into a room to be honest. This is simply a computer fan, and the dust and dirt it will pull it from outside will ruin itself. Its also just 120mm, perfect in a computer situation but not for a house... Yes, in theory your configuration would work though.

This is more of a question than an answer but I think that you wouldn't want to use this as a pre-filter along with regular AC foam filter because that would be too restrictive. I am wondering if this carbon filter by itself would be too restrictive for an AC, blocking the intake of sufficient air. Did you try it, and if so how did it work out? The only carbon window AC filter I've found is made by Nordic Pure (15x24 cut to fit), and it's pricey at about $84 for 6 filters. It's a carbon layer bonded to a white polyester layer.

Yes, I believe so. It is very powerful. However, you need to make sure the materials are all dried up completely. You can also change the filter more frequently (maybe once in two or three months) to make sure bacteria would not colonize inside.

It is to thick to use as any type of filter.You would not get much air flow!

Firstly, this depends on the cu. ft. that you are filtering. Short answer to this is, no. As much as i love this fan for pulling as hard as it does and remaining near silent, I feel like a carbon filter would really make this fan insufficent. I just recently ordered the the TD-150 for an upgrade and will be getting a carbon filter to suit it. Once recieved, i will still have good use for this fan, maybe as an intake.

the fan operates at 200cfm at high speed with a mouth of 4"diameter. You may use any filter but suction may reduce on type.This is a trial and error depending on your need.

I would not recommend because most air purifiers have a hepa filter too, they are able to filter any excess carbon. Also if it is a window air conditioner and could be exposed to moisture, the carbon filter would get wet and if not dried could possible have mold spores attach causing respiratory irritation.

In my opinion i wouldnt use it with any fan. I bought this filter and used it with a 170 cfm inline and did nothing for odor. Buy a phresh filer or another reputable filter and save the frustration. Not sure if the appolo filters are any good but they use the rc 48 carbon like phresh so maybe worth a shot and there cheap priced

No too small get a 6in fan and filter you need Atleast 400cfm for that square footage

Yes but these fans should be used as exhaust anyway (since heat rises), so a filter really isn't necessary. That is unless you have a really super dusty environment. I pull my front filter off about once a week and blow it out with a can of compressed air. It's usually a little dusty but never that bad. But you could put one on top if you wanted.

As long as you have a really good filter before the fan I think it would be fine. Other than a whine due to the fan blade speed the fan seems to move a fair volume of air. I use one to move air from one room to another for my wood stove. For this purpose it does very well indeed. Hope this helps.
