REP YO HOOD YO!(your flowhood that is) * 1
    #25947605 -

Like the title says, let's see you REP YO HOOD YO!(your flowhood that is)

Just pictures, or a full on schematic with step by step photos, and anywhere in between... With or without specs, but pictures are required... here's my first one...

20×24×6" 99.99% efficiency HEPA with 16" plenum, and the blower from a 2.5 ton hvac system, one side boxed completely and 4 layers of prefilter on the inlet side:



And the newly constructed; "The Beast"



The Beast features a 36×48×3" 99.99% efficiency HEPA with an 18"plenum and the blower from a 3 ton hvac system: one side boxed completely, and 3 layers of prefilter on the inlet... also has offset side, bottom and top panels that give me a 36×48×28" block of laminar flow to work in. The bottom panel has hinged legs for support when lowered. There are 2-18" LED strip lights  tied back to a switch with the blower... I suspect this will allow for bag2bag expansion for 8-12 bags no problem... waiting on blue oyster masters to colonize, then G2G to bags for bag2bag expansion: 1 pt>1 bag>8-12 bags: or 4 pts>4 bags>32-48 bags (in 4 consecutive sessions) Pouring plates in front of it with a full size oven rack on quart jars was cool, but felt like a waste: I could literally crawl inside: Can't wait to utilize the height! Bottom panel can be used solo as a desk while still protecting the filter... it's ugly, rough cut, and screws poking through everywhere except in the front (working) plenum... but it's mine,and it's sturdy! Especially after having to fortify the table with 2×2 legs screwed to the existing flimsiness that is there

That's all I got, let's see what we got out there!

Try a spoodle for G2G transfers. Just put it in a grain bag and PC it with your grains. They make other brands but the spoodle is one piece so there are fewer places for contams to hide. I use it for G2G and spawning. Haven't had a problem yet...

I'm not currently setup for a new photo so I'll share the one I took a week or so ago. I changed the rack so its elevated by some PVC. I'll update with a better pic later.

3/4 birch and the filter is the biomax 24x24x6 99.99% with a dayton 1TDT8. Final depth is something like 20". I have a pretty ghetto prefilter for the time being and that'll be fixed soon too.

Here's a better shot..

Finally found the filter I was looking for and got this project off the ground.  The filter is a 36"x48" Microguard 99. 


The box was constructed of 3/4" birch ply and was a real pain in the ass to put together single-handed.  I attached all the braces first and then put it all together and pre-drilled the screw holes as I went. 


When I put my original refurbished blower on the top, it looked like a toy.  I didn't want to get it mounted and end up underpowered.

Luckily, I refurbished a second, larger unit when I did the first and just swapped the new 1/3hp motor...whoo!

I attached 1/4" hardware cloth to the face with a couple staples and sandwiched it between the box and the trim to keep the filter face from getting dinged up.


For the pre filter I just grabbed a furnace filter and stuck it to the blower housing with some magnets...yes!


Here she is in all her massive glory:


Flow reading.  It comes off the face around 118fpm.



This thing is awesome.

It was quite old, used in a Tissue Culture Lab, it was an Envirco Mac10 Fan Filter Module, the only parts from the original module that I retained were the back plate of the plenum which consists of the blower and baffle system, I got a new filter made and I built the sides of the plenum from ply then I also built the hood or work area from wood, the inner two sides are white acrylic, the top is clear perspex and the work surface is food grade stainless steel.
It produces even laminar flow over the entire area of the filter, I'm very pleased with it.

That looks good 99.99:thumbup:

I feel like the rack probably creates more turbulence than there would be without it, you should try using it without, it looks like you have a nice stainless surface to work on there.

Ok that's good, I see a lot of people using these racks and never thought it was useful, as long as your area is wiped down properly with 70% isopropyl and your hood produces laminar flow you should be good.
An enclosed work space or hood in front of the filter is an advantage in my opinion and experience.

    #25960904 -

I use a rack to lift my work into the flow...

I try to work close the face of the HEPA and not worry so much about any turbulence that may be occurring downstream...

At least, that's my theory...

Just finished this a couple of weeks ago.









It’s a 24 * 24 h14 filter, put a speed control for the fan and made a door to protect The filter.
It’s got a temporary shitty cardboard pre filter until I get a Something better  but all works well.
