DIY Inline Carbon Filter

[Duncan62]

How's this idea for a DIY inline carbon filter?

Will be placed on the supply side of the MVHR.

The reason to DIY is to double the carbon bed size at a slightly reduced cost when compared to Blauberg Clean box 150.

 

The Blauberg Clean box 150 has carbon filter: 220 x 400 x 45 = 4,000,000 cubic mm

DIY Rhino Pro Carbon Filter: Pi 150 x 300 x 50 = 7,000,000 cubic mm

 

Lifespan: Rhino pro states 2 years at 600m3/h. So at 150m3/h (my case) expecting an 8 year life span.

 

Part List:

150 duct. £15 / 3m

150 coupler. £3

Rhino Pro Carbon Filter: 150x300. £100

Custom 150 F to 355 M Reducer. £45

355 Duct. £90/3m

Standard 355 to 150 Reducer. £20

 

Totals About £270

 

Blauberg £400

Man that is cheap. Did you use one?

Thanks you for the suggestion. Never used Ali.

Any idea on pressure loss?

Another reason for DIY is because carbon filters for "plant growing" will never be discontinued, how would you get replacement filters in this case?

I guess you could buy another whole unit if it is discontinued, bit of a faff tho.

Not used just thought about it, they do a 200mm one also, so pressure loss would be way lower.

 

Filters look cheap enough but 10 years worth, suspect if using 200mm the life would be a couple of years.
