I hope to finish our extension build in a couple of months, and move on to building the cinema room (build thread here: A dreamer stops dreaming)
I'm putting in a single room MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) for the kitchen/living area, but I also need a solution for the cinema room.
I don't want 24/7 MVHR for it, as the kind of unit I'd need would be too costly.
I don't want aircon, as that too will be costly.
Instead, what I'm hoping to do, is simply run some ducting extracting from the cinema room into the utility room (where there is an MVHR extract), and from the kitchen/living space into the cinema room. I'm not worried about cooking smells going into the cinema room, as I'd keep the pipes away from that area. The fans would only really need to be on when using the room.
What I'd like to know is if 120mm/140mm static pressure PC fans are capable of pushing air down a 125mm ish PVC duct, and if so, for how many metres. Any ideas?
Thanks
