Using filters on your intake simply means the airflow will start to go down from minute one, if your intake fans move 10k m3/h without filters, with clean filters they won't do 10k, the filters themselves will reduce that amount, so maybe 8k m3/h with filters being brand new, the next day, some of those wholes will be blocked and now the 8k is 7k, so to maintain good flow you will have to clean the filters very often, in my case, i'd have to probably clean them every week at best.

Since I toyed with the idea of filters I totally agree with this, if the air you're pulling in is dirty and far worse even a bit humid (I don't know if dew affects it but we get a lot of it) those filters will drop the flow radically. My first try was to put them in the window before the axial fan and the steel protection grills and it was a complete failure, if put in the space behind it it does reduce the airflow considerably less but in both cases, it's a pain in the ass to dismantle and clean. But unlike Phill, I have way less gear, and a way colder and bigger building so I don't care that much about a drop.

Probably once you've got more and more gear and you're constantly expanding you have to look for professional solutions, where the air is filtered from multiple sources outside, so there is enough flow at the point it is blown into the room.

I was never able to understand the economical logic behind using liquid cooling in mining, it's cool and all, but the cost is extremely high, if noise isn't an issue for you, why not just add more fans to the wall? or replace the ones you have with some strong fans like this or this

Lol at the second link, poultry farm, mine is the original pig farm, oink!, axial one, but nowhere that size they were supposed to work in 6 pairs if I remember correctly.

the rooms shape and lack of wall area to add more fans is a real issue for us.

What about up? Have the intakes on wall level and the outflow through the roof?

Is anyone interested in the price, diff?
