Passive intake.....
-Lose the 4" reducers on your fan. I'll bet those alone are bringing you under 150 cfm.
- Much bigger intake- like maybe 8" to match your 6" fan. 4 two-inch intakes do not equal one eight inch intake- you want a total of twice the surface area in intake that you have for exhaust. Maybe a little more if you want to put in 90's to contain light. Each 90' bend in ductwork reduces flow by about 20%.
You have plenty of fan, just too much drag. Upsizing the fan won't help that much.I assume you understand that we have options on your time,
And we will ditch you in the harbour if we must-
But if it all works out nicely,
You\'ll get the bonus you deserve
From doctors we trust.
