I recently stayed in an apartment that didnt have central air so I created a corsi-rosenthal box since the smoke from the Canadian wildfires were so bad.

After 30 days of continuous use, with very minimal periods of it being turned off, this is what the filters look like!

It’s disgusting yet also so satisfying to see the filters get darker from debris, dust, and dirt.

Edit: typos

      Yes it can!

      I was a little miffed when i went to buy the goods for this box because i couldn’t get MERV 14 filters and had to settle for MERV 13.

      I plan to make a frame so i can just slide filters in each side with the fan mounted on top. I’ll have to figure out a means to create a nice seal between the frame and filters so the air passes through instead of around.
