I'm not really sure what it is exactly. Looking for more information on it. Thought it was a blower of sorts.

You could probably take the blower out of it and use it. But beats me the specs on the blower. And that would be an expensive blower then

well it has information on the specs in one of the photos. I just wish I knew what it meant. I thought 122 bucks with free shipping isn't too shabby for a blower. Where can I get a cheaper one? I think this is just a blower with housing. You attach a tube.

Then you spend money on two housings because you still need one for the filter.
You can find a blower on CL or a hvac store for half that

I'd build my own for the filter. So wouldn't I just build the bottom half with the filter and then attach this. I suppose I'll just stick to the plans I have in this book but this unit looked really nice.

I would hope. But you need a plenum anyway. Just put the blower on that same housing.
Otherwise you need the space for basically two hoods

The only specs on that blower are the energy it takes and what it draws.

So I'm looking at it and this is the complete unit. Lab equipment is crazy expensive. I see why we build it. http://spwindustrial.com/flow-sciences-3-fs2015bkfva-safety-enclosure-fs4000-exhaust-blower-no-filter/

I feel like I've invested a lot of time in learning how to cultivate mushrooms but not much time into the mechanics of how a flow hood works. If I just had a good resource for understanding the science behind flow hoods I'd have an easier time understanding exactly what I need. I know someone posted the math for me one time on what I need as far as blower versus filter goes but It feels weird just doing the math and slapping the thing together and not fully understanding what it is. I hate this knowledge gap. IF Ic ould fill it I could design my own. I'm really good at sourcing materials for nothing or next to nothing. I also know how to work with acrylic as far as cutting and using adhesives is concerned. Maybe I could build something nicer for myself if I understood exactly what it was I was building.

Its hard to even call it math. Its that easy.
Filter size in feet 24x12 and 24x36 as an example. Thats 1x2 feet which is 2sq ft 2x3 is 6sq ft
For every square foot you want 100cfm
So 12x24 needs 200cfm 24x36 wants 600cfm
Match the static pressures and boom That's the math

Thanks! I just saved this to a text document. I figure if I can build an acrylic fish tank I should be able to build myself a pretty sweet flow hood. I have a friend who's very good with technical things so I can ask him to work on designing something with me that's easy to wipe down and change out the filter. I really don't want a wooden flow hood. If I'm going to build something I want it to be aesthetically pleasing and to be here for the long run.

Also weird stuff is happening with my shroomery. I can only direct myself to the last page of the thread by clicking through my threads page. It doesn't work by clicking the page numbers below. Everything is from a day or so ago.

Thanks! These are really great! Comparing it to the current plan set I have it's very similar.

The customer service woman at the company was extremely helpful and sent me this lovely diagram. It looks like this blower cover up to 155 cfm I'd have to build accordingly. I was thinking of a bit of a larger filter than this might work with. 24x24 maybe.
