Carbon filter

Eu Growshop offers are very extensive assortment of carbon filters. A carbon filter is only applied to filter the odor away. How a carbon filter works is pretty simple. The negative odor ions will be neutralized by active carbon inside the filter. Because of this negative odor ions are converted to neutral odor ions. A carbon filter can be used almost everywhere where there are negative odor ions that needs to be neutralized. These are amongst other things odor ions produced by plants. Very important is that you don’t use carbon filters in rooms where the humidity is higher than 80 - 90 %. The humidity can take away the ability of the carbon filter take neutralize the odor ions. Carbon filters are to be replaces around each 6 months.

Can carbon filter

Can-filters have already been the leading company in filter techniques and manufacturer of carbon filters for 20 years. The carbon filters from Can consist from a metal core which is perforated. Around it there is a 65mm thick carbon bed and a steal jacket. This carbon filter can be used both horizontal and vertical.

Carboriginal carbon filter

Carboriginal carbon filter is company that is very progressive in carbon techniques. For the production of their carbon filter they exclusively use low-density carbon. The benefits of this carbon are that it is very light weighted and it has more air holes than high-density carbon. Because of this the Carboriginal carbon filter have more air extraction capacity, are highly suitable for humidly rooms and they last longer.

Phat / Rhino carbon filters

Phat filters are since 2001 a manufacturer for active carbon filters. This Name is later changes to Rhino. Rhino uses RC48 / RC412 carbon for their carbon filters. This can only be gained from Australia. Together with the depth of the carbon bed, the granules and the surface area of the carbon will it be able to neutralize the odor perfectly fine. The Rhino also is very durable. This also depends on the climate conditions, the amount of impurities in the air and the speed of the air flow. With these variables Rhino says there carbon filters have a life span of 3 year.

Determine the carbon filter capacity

The capacity of the carbon should be consistent with the capacity of the extractor. These capabilities need to be aligned to the total wattage of the lights. This value must be divined by 2, approximately 10 to 25%. This is a safety rule for the summer. An example of this calculation is: 2 lamps, 600watt each. Together its 1200watt. This is divided by 2, which makes 600. 10 to 20% is added, the power requirement for the carbon filter and extractor will be ± 660-720 m3 per hour.
