HEPA sizing - opinions?
    #20196135 - 06/27/14 08:51 PM (9 years, 7 months ago)

Hi all, after one year and many good runs with my sab I feel it's time to pursue my flow hood build. I've been comfortable working on a 2x6 ft nauire laminar flow bench and well to say the least it was pure sweet heaven.

I want to choose a size balancing a good work space and portability. I'm also a bit hesitant in that I'm trying not to exceed 900-1200 CFM

I would love to hear an experienced members input mainly in regard to what size if your favorite and especially which types of blowers are the most quiet. I've heard better things of furnace blowers.

My size options are:

12x12x12
12x24x12
24x24x12
24x30x12

I've decided on Flanders Nuclear grade or astrocel 200-700 cfm ideally

All thoughts welcome. Thanks

:toast:

Would appreciate some expertise

considering this filter: http://www.bettymills.com/shop/product/view/Purolator/PUR5360600087.html

model SL65  12x24x6
500 cfm  @  0.2 inches w.g.
rated MERV 14,  99.99  0.3 micron

Correct me if this is wrong:
12x24x6  2 sq ft LF area
for 100 fpm, 200 cfm needed
(200/500)^2 = 0.16
resistance at 200 cfm is 0.2*0.16 = 0.036 + prefilter

200 cfm seems too low, im sure it is. it don't know the math of this precisely  help is appreciated lol
