Flow Hood brag =]

Been done for a couple weeks but I finally want to brag a bit. My only regret was waiting so long to build one. Shouldve started with a smaller one when I didn't have the room. Also props to all the threads that said go with a 36x24 instead of a 24x24.

Looks real nice.
Is it powered with a squirrel cage blower, or inline centrifugal fan?

Squirrel cage, came off a furnace and it was way to strong. Used a variable controller and was able to tone it down enough to be able to use it.

š
honestly even the 36x24 feels a bit small for me. Like if I go AGAR to 7 jars plus a couple new agar plates, I'm running out of room to do stuff but its still way more sterile than a SAB for me and bags should be way easier to do.

Quick questions, does it matter whether the motor is side mounted or top mounted? If so I need to make a tweak =P

Shouldn't matter as long as you are getting laminar flow.

I seem to have a little turbulence the first inch or 2 from the filter but 3+ its very smooth, so I need to do some trouble shooting. I don't know if its the blower cause the cage isn't balanced in it.

Maybe turn down your blower a little bit?

Tried, even past the 100 f/m and it didn't work as expected. I'm likely just going to invest in a new blower when I can.

I got it locally. Was a filter store that sells to warehouses and factories. Tols the guy what I was looking for and they ordered for me, fairly cheap for that size, I think it was around $200.

Nice score.
If I recall, SP is .79 on that
You need 500 CFM @ .79 plus SP of your prefilter....Iāll keep an eye out for a blower as Iām sourcing mine š

Yeah .79 + I got two pre-filters. The blower motor I got is a furnace one, if I slow it down to much it gets really loud because it's off balance.
My last agar I ran a bit higher speed than usual, between 130-150 f/m so I'll see how that went.

Itās been said that the Stametās recommendation of 100fpm might be a little slow anyway. Not sure if that has any credence or not.

I've had a couple members say they go up to 200. Just keep an eye on it and see what happens.
