I would think a squirrel cage type, but the size would be in relationship with the size of the filter, there matched.

A blade fan isn't capable of developing 1" of static pressure while pushing it's rated CFM. A squirrel cage is the type of blower to use for a flow hood. It doesn't matter what type of motor you use as long as it has the horsepower to spin the squirrel cage fan at full RPM while the fan pushes it's rated CFM at 1" of static pressure.

I was looking at a fan like the
Hurricane In-Line Fans 600 CFM

Compact, ultra quiet and easy to install! Rated for continuous operation and wet environments, Hurricane In-Line Fans can be used in commercial or residential applications. Hurricane Fans come with a 6’ grounded power cord, worm drive duct clamps, liquid tight bushings and mounting brackets. The casing is manufactured from pre-galvanized steel. Hurricane In-Line Fans can cope with high pressure and long duct runs while still operating at an acceptable noise level. Fan sizes correspond to the diameter of the ducting that will be needed.

For an 24 x 24 x 5.8" Hepa Filter, I was looking at the 600 cfm will be over the 400 cfm that I willl need.
Does anyone have a formla for static pressure?
