Hello boys I should be sleeping right now and someone has probably already asked this , but here we go . Would it be possible having one ventilation duct running through 2-3 tents whit a T-fitting a fan and a carbon filter in each tent ?

I wanna do this so that I can control the climate in each tent . My worries are if one fan in the back revs up due to heat it will push out Air in one of the other tents making an overpressure causing smell . Will this be a problem?if not what diameter should the main pipe be ? I'm thinking about running one of ac infinite. 6" fan in each tent


Something like this

.......................F/C..................F/C
................ .......//......................//
<Flow=======================plugg


F/C =Fan/carbon filter

Reason om asking is because I'm moving soon and due to the floor plan I'm thinking of running 3st. 60*120 side by side

Have a nice day

Just using T 's can cause issues like the one you mentioned, Y's would be better, directional you see ! Air would just smash into T's wall and go both ways ! Use Y's !

Therrion made a good point ! I do not believe it necessary though as this method has been used in various scenarios. If you have the extra funds it won't hurt, extra insurance isn't it. The electric direction or shut offs are cool as hell but expensive and I think unnecessary in your situation. My pal did the Y thing and it worked lovely, he could turn a room off and he never got positive pressure in it ! Not enough to blow tent or there to be smell escaping !
Definitely not T's though unless using back draft air dampeners

K4pten, I don't think it's necessary. Look I use a Y and you will not need anymore kit, if you feel like you do and are happy spending the extra cash that's a man's choice you know but due to the angle of the Y and air takes the easiest route all the extra bumph really ain't needed. I only put a piece of thin plastic bag over the Y part in not using as the pressure is negligible coming backwards. Air being pushed doesn't want to turn back on itself ! When I used the same system, my mate was me ! Swim was me oh shit ! I was told how by a air man ! Someone who spends his days with ducting and ac and whose business is air ! He said if I was a rich customer he would tell me I needed all sorts but as I'm a mate he said here take these gave me 2 Y's and told me which way the air goes !

Sure thing I will probably end up doing what you says and then if I run in to problem add the check valves. Always good to have options
