Use a filter or dust collector. Change frequently to avoid clogs. This will keep ur chiller away from dust and animal fur. Once it got into the fins inside, no way u can get it out. I got from dasio and been using for a long time.

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

will this reduce or make the fan work harder to draw in cool air?

opposite way. it keeps the fins clean so cooling efficiency is better.

It will if the filter is dirty and choke the air intake..so make sure change the filter once it's dirty.

Without the filter, dust will enter & clogged up the condenser coil/fins. Hence, cooling efficiency will be greatly affected & result in more power consumption. So do change the filter on a regular basis & if not, your chiller will end up consuming more power instead of more efficient.

Cut it into a thin layer or whole pcs place in?

You need to cut the exact size.. it comes in big pieces that u cant fit in so u need to cut.

Looks like the pollution actually cause more particle trap onto filter.

Imagine the air u breathe in. The chiller is a form of filtering system for your home i guess.
