Ruck S-Prime Evo 6 Inch Sound Insulated Fan for Tents and Rooms
The 6-inch S-Prime Evo from Ruck Air Movement places a Prime Evo mixed flow fan inside a sound insulated casing. The casing is galvanized sheet steel, lined to cut the noise radiating from the fan body. Maximum airflow is 400 CFM, and the fan works against up to 1.12 in.wg of static pressure. The one-phase AC motor runs on 120V, 60 Hz. It draws 70 W and up to 0.7 A. A 3-speed switch built into the fan sets the output. Rated speed is 3280 rpm, with a maximum of 3380 rpm. Housing break-out noise measures 51 to 55 dB(A) sound power across the fan curve. The terminal box is rated IP44, and the complete unit carries an IPX4 rating. Air and surroundings can range from -13°F to 104°F. The fan measures 11.02 x 12.01 x 27.17 in and weighs 15.4 lb. It plugs into a standard outlet and carries UL and CSA certification. Ruck backs it with a 3-year warranty.
Setting Up a 3-Speed Mixed Flow Fan Where Noise Matters
This fan suits a grow tent or small room that sits near bedrooms, offices or shared walls. Hang it from a joist or the tent frame with straps rated for its weight. Leave room for its length, since it needs a straight section of duct to sit in. Connect a carbon filter to the inlet side and run the outlet duct outdoors. Clamp both collars and seal the joints with foil tape. Leave a lower vent open, or add an intake, so fresh air replaces what the fan removes. Choose the high setting while the lights run and heat builds. Step down to a lower speed for the dark period. The casing quiets the fan body, while a silencer on the outlet handles noise travelling down the duct. A backdraft damper on the outlet stops cold air flowing back when the fan is off. Unplug it before cleaning, then wipe dust from the impeller between crops.
