Flowhood blower cover
    #18783067 - 08/31/13 09:08 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Next week I'm finally picking up all of the supplies to build my flowhood!! 

Just a question about the box on top of the flowhood.  The one surrounding the blower.  Is it even necessary? 

The smaller series I flowhood from fungi perfecti doesn't have one.  http://fungi.com/product-detail/product/the-series-i-laminar-flow-hood.html

But the bigger ones (series II, III, IV etc.) all have one.  http://fungi.com/product-detail/product/the-series-iii-laminar-flow-hood.html

What's the purpose of it?

The purpose of the box is so you can attach a pre-filter on the box to get out the larger particles like dust etc. that are floating in the air. This way your hepa filter will last 100x longer because the air going through it is already pre-filtered

Thanks for the reply. 

But why does the smaller Series I flowhood not have the box?  I think I've seen RR say that he just duct tapes a pre filter to the intake of the fan....box not needed.

Any method to filter the intake air works.  I duct tape a filter to the opening on the blower.  A filter housing makes it easier to change filters.
