The RVK range of fans made in Germany by LTI are quiet and powerful. they are also ideal for connecting to our range of carbon filters. The LTI extractor fans come fully recommended. If you are not sure what size extractor fan to use, it's easy to work out. Simply calculate the volume of the growing environment to the nearest cubic metre. This is done by multiplying:

Length x Width X Height = Volume of your room in cubic metres (m³) and then multiply the answer by 20.

Ideally, air needs to be replaced every three minutes (or twenty times an hour). Therefore, just multiply the volume of your growroom by 20. Measure the height, width and length of your room before contacting Esoteric Hydroponics.

For example, a room of 3 metres x 4 metres x 2.5 metres high = 30m³ and 30m³ x 20 changes per hour = 600m³ per hour. Once this has been calculated, you can select the correct fan.

Combinations of different fans can be used.

These extraction fans are second to none. They are industrial low wattage, high output fans that are designed for the job in hand. These fans can be run 24 hours, 7 days, 356 days a year without any hassle or problems. In fact, this is what they have been designed for. Don't buy cheap and end up buying twice, cheap extractors are meant to be on and off for short periods of time - these ain't.

Please contact or visit our shop if you are in any way unsure or need clarification of which size of fan to choose - it's important to get the ventilation right.

The LTI/RVK extraction motors are completely silent however the airflow is not. If noise is a problem then stick one carbon filter on one end of the extractor and a silencer on the other end and hey presto one noiseless extraction unit which is also odour free.
