I am attaching filter to front of box fan that I put in my window to bring in cool air. Should the arrow face towards the fan or towards the room?

My filters are for air purifiers, not a fan so I'm sorry I don't have an answer. Seems like the box should have a picture or instructions telling you which way the arrow should face.

There are arrows on the long edge that indicate direction of airflow. As you remove the old filter you should be able to see the direction arrows. Otherwise, with the old filter removed, turn on your vacuum briefly to feel or use a piece of paper by the opening to determine direction of flow. My vacuum blows outward and that matched with the direction arrows on old filter. I suspect that is how most if not all installations work since the filtered air is typically being dispersed back into the room so the arrow should point out into the room.

are you having cooling issues? between the PSU fan and a slot fan exhausting near the CPU, you shouldn't add turbulence to your case. there is enough venting in this case, that with a proper cooling fan on the CPU that you shouldn't need extra. But you should always create a "flow" when aiming your fans.one side of the case is a intake, the other is exhaust. I make the rear a exhaust and place a HD cooling bay in the 5.25 bay.

Hi there. Your front fan should be blowing cooler air in. That is as long as your fan in the back is blowing the warmer air out. Hope that helps

It's fixed like any other boxfan. I've used a book to help angle it when I needed to but I usually use it in the window to get air flowing in from outside.

Well all fans blow air in one direction... It's how you install it. You can install them facing in or out this is a standard with computer case fans.

Frankly if the cabinet is open, you do not really need the fan. Biut given the choices, I would pull air through the front and exhaust to the back.

I'm not sure -- I had the same question myself!! I recommend searching the GenVibe forums online - maybe they've talked about it there. (The MATRIX uses a different hvac assembly, so I'm not sure if you can get accurate information on this particular part). I just decided to follow the "Up" arrow indicator on the actual filter, but that's certainly NOT the direction of the airflow in a Vibe!

Usually, a front fan brings air in and, indeed, the product description says : "positive pressure with removable fan filter". I cannot tell you how good or bad the fan is, I returned the case before even using it.

Generally, air comes in from the front-bottom, and exits the back-top. The side should bring air in as well.If you pull air out of the case halfway along the airflow path, you kind of mess up the intended flow design for most cases.

Place the filter on the floor, mouth facing up, then place the fan on top. Gravity will hold the fan in place.

If possible, you want a "chimney effect" where the hot air is "pulled" out. I prefer to have my fans on top. Most cases and components and cases are designed and positioned to take advantage of heat rising to help the airflow. If your equipment has any other fans, use the external to assist their flow, not compete against it.

With the Filtrete material that I received recently, the instructions do not say anything about how to place the filter material so that one particular side faces the oncoming air and therefore the other side faces the outgoing air. I cannot see any difference between the two sides of the material that I received most recently, i.e. the reinforcing mesh is either on both sides or is centered. I vaguely seem to remember that several years ago, the instructions used to differentiate between the two sides and I could see that the reinforcing mesh was on one side rather than on both sides or centered. I'm assuming that you received your FIltrete material recently and the two sides seem identical.

It is facing the right way. It may not be the right one for your furnace, if it looks like it is facing the wrong way.

They are talking about in-line filters. And yes you should use a filter in front of the intake.

You hook an inline fan to the opened end. When the fan is running it pulls air through the activated carbon/charcoal filtering the air trapping odors/allergens in the carbon. It can be used two ways. One way is for recirculation in a closed environment, or you can hook up venting and exhaust the filtered air elsewhere. Hope the info helps.

This is for air flow. The fresh air is drawn into the rear of the unit and cool air comes out the front.
