i need flow hood blower help
    #23196058 - 05/06/16 03:41 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

i bought a 4 speed 120 volt blower , and i lost the wiring diagram. I have my flow hood all set up and I have the white wire from the plug connected to the white wire on the furnace. I try each of the other wires on the black wire to the plug and the speed never changes. It's a blower that has a capacitor. The wires on the blower are black, yellow,
red whte and blue.

I baffled the whole intake. The entire thing. It still is the same speed. Wtf. It is sucking in air through the part that holds the motor. What is going on. I'm pissed. I bought an anemometer just to verify wind speed. God damn. 100 feet per minute is like me breathing!!! I have  a 2x2 filter and a 1/4 hp motor. My filter is from tridim, it is 500 feet per minute at 1 sp. Something isnt right. The speed is 275 feet per minute with the whole intake baffled with cardboard.

Your post is confusing.

Thats what its supposed to do?
When you switch the different colored wires (White and Colored) its supposed to change speeds. White is your full speed I believe.
And oooooooh, you are getting a final air flow higher than what you want....I see now, I was trying to figure out why the hell you were baffling the intake lol. Yeah that. Why is this a problem? I dunno how many fpm I'm getting but its definitely over 100fpm. If I remember correctly 100fpm is like a baseline or maybe even a bare minimum for this application. Going over 100fpm should not be an issue other than whether or not your flame source can stay lit. How fast of an airflow to re-introduce turbulence versus laminar flow....I don't know, but I surmise that it would be hard for the average person, in our situation, to accidentally do this.
