24x24 h14 hepa flowhood - NEW DESIGN
    #5569636 - 04/29/06 05:41 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

enjoy the pics, from left to right :sun:






total cost ~ 3oo euros - time to build ~6 hrs.

the measurements and scematics, in centimeters:



1.) 64,2 x 62,2 cm
2.) 30,6 x 61,0 cm
3.) 30,0 x 61,0 cm
4.) 20,7 x 61,0 cm
5.) 78,4 x 61,0 cm
6.) 61,0 x 61,0 x 6,9 cm hepa filter
7.) 30,6 x 60,0 x 5,0 cm prefilter (had to add some little stick of wood to its side compensate the missing 1cm)

and the two sidepanels, each measuring: 64,2 x 78,4 cm.

the wood used was 16mm thick and the blower delivering 400 cfm.

silicone has been used during the entire construction in order to allow simple deconstruction (the white/grey mass).

:mushroom2:




I REDESIGNED THE MOFO !!! :sun:


 

its a lot tighter now :smirk:

Very nice, thanks for sharing it with us!

Is the prefilter permanently mounted in place? If yes, how would you change it?

What efficiency is your hepa? and how thick is it?

it is, as everything else, "siliconed" into place and i would have to remove a sidepanel
in order to change it - but that wont happen anytime soon :smirk:

How loud is it?

I used to have one of those small, long squirrel cage blowers in my flowhood and it made a racket. I eventually replaced it with an oversized one running more slowly to get the noise down.

Nice flowhood there ohm. You're right about the prefilter lasting a long time. I'm still using one I taped in place 4 years ago. It 'looks' dirty, but the truth is, a dirty air filter is a better filter than a brand new one. I'll replace it when the flow starts to reduce. I need to get me a bigger hood, still struggling with a 12 X 24.

i went 24x24 mainly because of spawnbags, it is so much more convenient knowing
that they can stand upright in the laminar flow during inoculation :smile:

Isn't the rectangular hole you cut out too small to let all the air flow through the filter? So the sides on the hepa filter where there is no hole are essentially useless? Please fill me in.

the hole i cut serves the purpose of getting air pushed through by the fan and building up pressure in the plenum behind the filter.

the sidepanels make the "box" which is pressurized and forces the air to pass through the hepa filter
therefor providing laminar flow, without the panels this wouldnt be as it would just go out of the sides.

the hole just needs to be about the size of the outlet of the fan,
i decided to cut it approx 0.5cm smaller than that in order to ensure
a little overlap to get nice pressure in there - seals better.

Ohm, Are you sure that's a laminar flow filter? I've never seen one that thin. Most are three to four times that thickness and the element is made of ceramic. Don't trust the designation 'hepa' because I've seen it used even on furnace and vacuum cleaner filters before, which would not give proper filtering when under static pressure. Also, with four square feet of filter, and a 400 cfm blower, your clean air speed would be at the minimum of 100 linear feet per second leaving the fan, provided there was no loss, which is impossible. I think you're going to want to pick up a 600 cfm blower. I hope it all works out for you.

The blower delivers 400 cfm at 1" of static pressure.

Yes, it is a HEPA, class H14, 99.997% efficiency up to 0.12 micrometers particle size.

Here is the datasheet

look at pics of flowhood anno built, those filters arent thicker either:



i am also very happy with how it performs, poured plates, did transfers,
inoculated grains - all stays lovely sterile :smile:
