Building a flow hood, need some help deciphering what blower I need.
    #26894724 - 08/23/20 03:09 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I ordered a Flanders AtroCel 1 24x24x11.5 and I believe it’s 99.97 but possibly 99.99. I looked at the documentation from their website and this is what I found:



This is an HCX air filter so from what I can see on the graph to reach 0.5wg I’m going to need a big blower, minimum 900cfm but more likely over 1000cfm. I was using BOD’s tek and he got a Dayton ITDU2 for $150 but I can’t find that blower for anything less than $260. Is it optimal to hit 0.5wg or could I get away with something in the 500-600cfm range? I’m going to start calling around furnace repair places to see if I can find any used centrifugal blowers with 1000cfm. My other idea was the motors are pretty inexpensive. I could get a blower less than $100 and replace the motor with one that has the same power to push 1000cfm. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Trying to keep costs down, the filter was $128 all others I was looking at were 200-300 and require the same powerful motor. If you know a good place to save on a blower that would be great, thank you.

Alright after researching all morning I figured it out sorry. I cancelled my order for that filter and purchased this: https://damnfilters.com/collections/hepa-and-other-high-efficiency-filters/products/hepa-filter-24-x-18-x-6-600-cfm-99-99-particle-board and will be matching it with a Dayton 1TDT8 which will match nearly perfectly. The filters I guess are made to order so I have 4 weeks to find a good deal on the blower. Called a few hvac places and have a few used blowers to check out. I’m a pretty frugal bastard when I try, I’ll get that Dayton cheaper.

Edit: could someone just confirm for me that it will work? Lol I’m about to buy the blower, got an Amazon credit card oops.
