Flowhood Blower Fan
    #23610580 - 09/04/16 08:35 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I have an 6 " inline fan, has quite a bit of CFM not sure of the exact.  But I Was curious if anyone has tried using a different type of fan for a DIY flow hood?  My filter will be 24x45

Hey Ipoxa, fungi fun has a slick inline design here: http://www.fungifun.org/English/Flowhood

However, I have an 8" inline and it only pushes 480cfm.  For a filter the size you're looking to run you would need a fan that pushes around 1000cfm or use 2 fans.

You could maybe use aN inline (can type) fan but for that size you'd need the biggest one they make, the 12" model.

Even without any pressure drop you're looking at about 100fpm which is pretty low, you might want a squirrel cage fan you can dial back.  Better to have too much power Than not enough

Makes sense, just trying to also find use for this fan.

How many horsepower motor are you talking it needs?

1/3 is probably fine, 1/2hp is probably the same price.
