I recently stayed in an apartment that didnt have central air so I created a corsi-rosenthal box since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires were so bad.
After 30 days of continuous use, with very minimal periods of it being turned off, this is what the filters look like!
It's disgusting yet also so satisfying to see the filters get darker from debris, dust, and dirt.
Edit: typos
Replacing those has got to be a pain with the amount of duct tape you used. And why is there tape on the bottom?
You can just cut the tape at the top along the fan, than peel the left over tape off the fan and start again. The tape on the bottom is for either a 5th filter or just a peice of cardboard across the bottom for stability.
You just cut the tape off. They last a pretty long time. I've got one going for two years intermittently here. If it looks too rough, you can take it out side and use a vacuum or air compressor to remove a lot of the surface dust.
Tape on the bottom is for the bottom panel. Usually it's just a cardboard sheet.
OP likes it dirty!
My loft is so freaking hot I’m sweltering. Could something like this keep my loft cooler, the window unit is struggling to cool it off until late at night
I dont mean airflow as in rate of air moving through the fan, i mean it as in volume of air being filtered.
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
