Air-cooled hood...can you pull too much air through?
I'd say get a fan speed controller and tune it down because 200cfm isn't going to do much at all...
redtails Reviewed by redtails on . Air-cooled hood...can you pull too much air through? I just picked up an enclosed reflector with 6" air-cooling flanges. I just ordered a 6" inline fan that is rated to 200 CFM, but it looks like it only runs at 160 CFM. I don't think that'll be enough for my 1000W HPS. My other option was a 424 CFM fan!! That air would be fuckin roaring through the hood! If my nerd calcs are right (Q=VA), then the air would theoretically be coming through the hood at 36 ft/s (25mph). That's a pretty heavy gale. Could that be harmful to the electronics Rating: 5
