If you have a NAS or Fan cooled Server near your living area, put a HEPA filter in front of the Airflow.
Managed to find a fitting size one for my Synology one that can simply be affixed by making an impromptu collar out of half-folded wide duct tape around the front.
PM 2.5 dropped down from 25 to 5. Temperature increase is neglegible and well within safe range.
Plus you get no dust in the device itself, which was my motivation for this in the first place.
- the_pwner224 6y agoInteresting. Do you think it would still be effective to purity the room air when done on a desktop computer with a single 120mm intake fan (and a 140 exhaust though I assume there wouldn't be a filter on that)?
- mxfh 6y agoThat was my next step, look at the pressure ratings for mm H2O of your fans. Problem with most cases is, they are not a single tunnel like most NAS, but would have multiple openings that might change airflow direction if you add a filter in front of a single intake. For the NAS I trialed a range of Noctuas, but the stock fans (KM121225LL 2x120mm 2.3mmH2O) proved most reliable with the default Synology control settings. So anything in that 2mm Range should work.
