Would a cars blower motor work for a flow hood?
    #26618516 - 04/21/20 07:23 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Considering building my own, i have access to blower motors all the time, im not sure the exact cfm a blower motor in a car puts out but they are quite strong i'd say. Is there any reason a blower motor might not work?

I've never built one but you'd definitely need to know the cfm of the
blower to do the calculations correctly I think

Well if it’s too much it can be lowered easily, and not enough I could use 2?

The biggest pain is the fact that is it all 12VDC. You can power it off a battery or power supply. I would recommend exceeding your CFM requirement and incorporating a fan speed controller. If you are tearing the parts out of an old vehicle, the dash controls would work as long the vehicle was not equipped with climate control. Any variable rheostat would do, just pay attention to the current rating of the control device and the current draw of the blower. Don't forget to use an inline fuse or other type of overcurrent device.

Can it develop enough pressure for an inch of water collumn?  Flow rates arent true to your flow rates until done at the operating pressure.

12V DC converters can be ripped from computers. Or bought from China for $10-$20.

I’ve never used a water manometer, but one inch really doesn’t sound hard to achieve
Maybe I’ll just take one home and mess around with it and see

I've never seen a 12v blower that would put out enough cfm or static pressure for a FH.

I know this isn’t the exact blower I have access too but I found one that is supposed to be comparible with these specs
