Setting up a Flowhood
    #19170221 - 11/21/13 01:55 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Alright so I am planning on building my own 24x24 flowhood and just have a couple of questions.

I have everything available besides the filter/fan to put this thing together just trying to get a "professional's" opinion of matching everything.

Will http://www.amazon.com/Active-Air-Blower-System-465/dp/B004K65JZG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_2 and a 24 x 24 x 5-7/8 (99.99% HEPA wood) be a perfect match?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, i've wanted to just buy a flowhood from FP but they are to costly + shipping.

Depends on the specifications on the filter....

Buy a filter, then find a blower to match it with....

Get the filter first tho.....or ask the company for the data sheet....

Ok, here is the filter I plan on using http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231070396047&item=231070396047 its 24x24x5.875 with .65 w.g.

Now I have read and reread the math of matching but for the life of me can not figure it out, its aggravating me to the point where I wanna just drop the 1000 on a 18x24 prebuilt :canthelpbutlaugh:.

that filters expensive you can get a much cheaper 24x24 from filter-b,, and the, valueline inline fans or similiar work great for it as well with a c.a.p speed controller, or block intake with a board or extra pre-filter... Them active air have horrible performace under resistance, if i remember correctly best and safer to go bigger.

Finally found everything that was compatible with each other! Took a couple hours but I think I figured it out.

Filter - http://www.fungi.com/product-detail/product/24-x-18-x-58-micron-filter.html

Blower - http://www.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-PSC-Blower-1TDT7

Grand total with shipping should be around $410, then just need my 3/4 inch birch and to mock everything up.

Whats everyone else think of my filter+blower combo?

I forgot to mention, this hood cost me around $200, but I got a deal on the 24x24 filter. Got a 725cfm inline blower on Amazon for $90ish. I used an engine air filter as a prefilter.

if you buy your filter from filtera.com    you will save a bunch over fungis, and use a inline instead of a expensive grainger blower, we build the 24x12x5.8 for around 200$ total.. many people use inlines on there hoods with great results.
