Use 2 blowers?
    #18832528 - 09/12/13 01:43 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I want to make a laminar flow hood with an 18x24 surface.  I have a few Dayton blowers,  one is 220 CFM,  the other is 1/16 hp,  estimated closerto 300 cCFM.

My question is,  if I have both fans hooked up to the box,  wouldthey generate enough flow,  or wwould the more powerful one cause the other to have turbulence and put a higher strain on the motor.

Use only one blower of the appropriate flow and static pressure rating.  If you choose to use two blowers(not recommended), match them exactly.

I figured as much,  just trying to use things I already own and just happen to have these smaller furnace fans.

Thank you,
Liam

Any explanation on this advice?  I'd imagine it really wouldn't matter much as the prefilter and plenum should smooth out the air plenty.
