laminar flow hood questions

Hi everyone, I'm new to here, but glad I made it.
My FOAF bought a squirrel cage fan that is 1/3 hp and runs at 1075 rpms. Does anyone know how many cfm this huge thing can push? Is it pretty realistic to think this blower can handle a 2'x2'x6" 99.99% filter for a laminar flow hood? If so where should they purchase. Fungifun has a large list of sites, almost all won't quote until all personal information is entered. A lot if the sites sell 24x24x3 filters. She was thinking maybe tridim or earthstongue. What are your guys thoughts on the whole situation?
Blower: 5kcp39hg p968bs 1/3 hp Rpm1075 A 5.2 Cpnb13400-21 Thanks everyone!

We can't help you with that blower likely. We don't know if it has forward, rear, or straight fan blades.

Thanks for the response Mad. How do you figure that out? They're probably forward.

You can't just go buy a filter if you don't know your fan specs. I mean technically you could but it would be a lot of work dialing it in

You may call them. The guy who builds their flow hoods is super helpful. He will tell you what to purchase.

I'm not sure. I recently bought an AA75 and a series two flow hood and they did me right. The level of help they give you in this and other areas is worth the money alone. They are cool folks.

You're not gonna have any good results when you don't know the output of your fan. Find that first. Call the company who made it if you need to.

Really, why is that 36?
Can't you just tune it in after you build it?
Those are good suggestions. What should be asked else than what the cfm out put is?

Looking at the amps and hp Id be willing to guess the fan would be enough to push through a 2x2 filter if its anything close to this 1/4 hp Dayton squirrel cage blower. It may actually be on the big size yours being 1/3 hp but it also depends on the impeller and housing size. If its too large you can try to throttle it with a heavy duty dimmer.

GE was absolutely no help at all. All they did was transfer me to different people and finally they realized they sold the blower section of the company to a company called train. Lol, they told me to search the yellow pages for a train service, when I am calling about information not service.
