Laminar Flow Hood
    #23477858 - 07/26/16 06:45 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Having had much success with a DIY laminar flow hood that I built a few years ago, I am starting to hear the bearings of my inexpensive internal Chinese motor start to fail.

I noticed that a few people have made hoods with a top-mounted squirrel cage blower, which I figured might be a better quality motor and possibly more quiet.  The only thing was that the recommended Dayton TDT8, seems to only be available in the American voltage configuration.

Has anyone had experience with a high quality (non Chinese) motor/fan that can be used as a top-mounted system for a flow hood?  I am guessing that this simplifies the design considerably and that all you need is a box with a HEPA filter (no pre-filter assembly needed).

Thanks for your help

First of all. run it till it siezes which might be years more.

Order a spare Chinese fan OR

Take the motor apart replace the bearings with quality bearings.
