Squirel Cage Blower Motor, 2 by 4' Hepa-Filter, 300 Half-Pint Jars, and a Model 941 AA PC [50$]!!!!

First of all, let me start this post off right by asking how are you doing this fine evening? You heard right, 50$!.
The man who hooked this deal up bought the items for me in advance. What he wants me to do in return is build him 1 section of a wooden fence for privacy. I can do that. This friend of mine is well over 50 and is in ailing health (cancer) so I don't mind doing the work. Also, upon finishing the job, I'll be picking up 300 half pint jars as part of the deal.

You lucky fuck

He then ran naked around the house, attempted to get Kruschev and Kennedy on the telephone and announced to the operator that he was God."

I'm here to tell ya'. Although for me, luck is not a factor. Luck is more of an elemental equation in the situation. I'm straight out blessed. Sometimes it's not about where to look but more so who you know.

Haha, lol. I have hundreds upon hundreds of quart jars.
Where I'm lacking in the jar department is in half-pint wide-mouthes jars. I hope these jars are Wide-mouthed. They are. From what my friend was saying about the way the dude with goods was explaining his method of growing, I think he used to grow BRF cakes inside of styrofoam coolers with a bed of perlite. Therefore he used half-pint-wide mouthed jars. If he could only know of a SGFC.

Wooden privacy fence right? Like 8 or 12 feet? Do you have to dig new post holes? Even plane?
Yeah sick deal, but your nerdy brother is waaayyyy more interested in the fence construction.

LOL. It is good how ever you look at it. ;0)
What a perfect collection of parts. ...and you will be working with wood soon, yes?, so a flow hood is a natural result. (Oh, it is built... ...even better)
2'X4' HUGE.
A 941 HUGE AGAIN.
COOL!
JD
P.S. The look at the lid suggests that that AA was fairly well taken care of. Nice!

The hepa filter doesn't have that back up filter (I can't remember the name of) that are used in flowhoods today.
You mean a prefilter?
Generally speaking, the prefilter is mounted (...or taped, if you're like most of us. ) to the intake of the blower:
I recommend a furnace filter, in the highest filtration they have available. Also, get the biggest size, as they're all priced the same, and as you can see, I cut 1/4th of the filter which was adequate for the intake, and I have still almost the whole damn thing left. $20.00 isn't cheap for a furnace filter, but fortunately as I got 4 sections out of it, it's more like $5.00/filter.

the way that blower is mounted right on the back of the flowhood is probably going to cause uneven airflow.

Thanks faceyneck for the input. Really? You can use a return filter as a pre-filter for a flowhood?

This makes sense. I would imagine that the filter needs a plenum so that air flow can build up inside the plenum and be distributed through the filter evenly by the time the air flow got there.

Yeah, dude! A furnace return filter, rated for allergen removal (...the most expensive one ) is what I use. Some people just use like a piece of cloth or something, which really destroys the life of the HEPA filter. I don't know why they do such things.
I read ProfessorPinHead say his first flowhood from FungiPerfecti only lasted 3 years before it was too clogged to use!
RogerRabbit has been using his for almost 15 years now, and still has plenty of flow for many years to come. That's how much of a difference a good prefilter makes.
Another thing to consider - as the furnace filter (...or the HEPA filter, really) gets dirtier and dirtier, its level of filtration becomes more and more efficient, as the micron holes become smaller and smaller. Eventually, the prefilter/furnace filter will be filtering at the same level of efficiency as the HEPA filter. After about 4 years of 2-3x weekly use, it will become too clogged, at which point you will just replace with a new furnace filter, and start the clogging process all over again.
...as for the mounting for the blower:
- If the plenum is as thick or thicker than the HEPA (...usually about 6" or so) that is enough area to achieve laminar flow.
- The blower should be mounted so that the stream of air is forced to turn 90-degrees on its way out the HEPA filter to achieve laminar flow. This is why the blower is typically mounted on the top of the plenum, although mounting on the bottom, or either side, would yield equivalent results.
Hope that helps, Hams.

Sort of, the pre-filter that's in my old flowhood is every bit as thick as the hepa-filter of the unit though.
The person I got this equipment from is a cancer patient. He recently went into the hospital and had to have a Trichotomy due to the cancer was closing his throat. I talked to him after he got out of the hospital when the decision to have the surgery was made and he told me to forget about everything. He told me not to worry about anything and that the gear was paid for. One week later, he went in for his surgery. Drove by his house the other day and low and behold, the fence is up.
Anyways, finally got a stove and was able to play with the AA 941 PC. Must say, I'm extremely satisfied with this unit. Especially for the price of free that was paid for it. Stuffed 6, 6 quart spawn bags into it at once to be sterilized and sterilized them at 20psi's for 2 hours, not a problem. Next time, I'mma use 5 quarts of grains per bag and stuff 8 bags in there at once.

You know I would.
Forgot to mention that I haven't received any jars as per the original deal and am not sure I ever will. However, a 2 foot by 4 foot hepa-filter along with a model 941, AA PC, for free? I'm not going to be doing too much complaining.
