With or without a carbon filter? With a carbon filter I think 8" with a 100 lb or so carbon filter.
I believe the general guideline is that you want to replace your room's volume completely, once every five minutes. So, your room at 10x12x9 = 1080 cubic feet, divided by 5 for the rating per minute, gives you about 220 CFM. So, for a fan running 100% of the time, with little resistance (like a carbon filter), you want to look at the 250 CFM fans. If you have to bend your ducting a lot, or are running a carbon filter, be sure to up the CFM rating to compensate.Quote:
