Possible to use air duct in home as a blower/filter combo?
    #21290554 - 02/17/15 08:21 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

i've been reading about how using a flow hood greatly reduces chances of contams. would it be possible to use your home AC system as a blower/filter combo? just take the grill off the vent opening and attach a flexible duct and lead that into a box with an opening in the front?
i would imagine the hardest part would be figuring out how to attach the duct to the ceiling duct opening.

No. You need "laminar" flow

So it's the filter that makes it a laminar flow? Could I still use the home AC to move the air and just make a cheap box out of particle board and glue/screw a fan on one side? Also saw some guy on YouTube make one with a square shaped fan about the size of the filter and maybe I could use duct tape and a wood box.

No. You need a powerful blower with a plenam and a 6 inch thick hepa filter.
