Looking for a small, powerful fan

[old-git]

I am looking for the smallest fan (or pair of fans) than can produce .2psi static pressure or 6" of water static pressure. Preferably DC electric.

Anyone out there have any knowledge about these things?

 

[Yugguy]

I've no idea but I'm fascinated as to what you want one for?

 

[T9 man]

Any good to you OG?

There is a 4" version as well.

 

[HDi fun]

What kind of flow rate are we looking for, if any?

Is it just static pressure you require?

 

[old-git]

Also 10,220CFM

Thanks, but MUCH too weak. This moves just under 4m3 a minute, I am looking for 290-300m3 a minute

 

[T9 man]

OK OG, I will start surfing tomorrow when I have a bit of time; I do hope this has not got the makings of an electric supercharger thread

 

[old-git]

Damn, you guessed

 

[HugoBoss]

You got me curious now, always a ace up your sleeve, love it.

 

[old-git]

When I say small, I'm talking about around 3-400mm diameter.

 

[obi_waynne]

This beasty is only 200mm in size http://www.tme.eu/en/details/01805.0-00/ac230v-fans/stego/ it shifts the required amount of air but it requires a 230v AC supply.

 

[HugoBoss]

^^ Nooooooo he wants to move 300m3 a minuute not in a hour. That's one crazy fan he wants.

 

[HugoBoss]

He'd have to buy 60 of those and put em back to back.lol.

 

[HugoBoss]

You don't have a litres per second rating O.G?

 

[obi_waynne]

Can't you just wind down the windows?

Per Minute - I missed that! Is this even possible? Would a mechanical supercharger not achieve this?

What is it you are trying to do OG?

 

[obi_waynne]

I used to really like tractors, I had posters and went to conventions about them. Now I don't really care that much about them at all.

I guess you could say I'm now an ex-tractor fan!

I take it you mean 300-400mm.

So 12-15 inches. Is the flow rate you require going to be possible without the fan blade tips getting close to supersonic speeds??

I reckon he's building a bouncy castle

 

[Yugguy]

Oh just buy one of these, you know you want to:

There's an interesting article on Pistonheads regarding electric supercharging. Well worth a read. I, for one, can see the possibilities if it's combined with traditional turbocharging as well.

[old-git]

It has nothing to do with engines.

 

[old-git]

I take it you mean 300-400mm.

That's what I said, three to four hundred

 

[HDi fun]

That's what I said, three to four hundred

No - what you said was 3 to 400. That's a difference of 297mm. 300-400 is a difference of 100mm.

So - is it a bouncy castle then?

 

[T9 man]

It has nothing to do with engines.

Is it for a hairdryer? :blink:

 

[HDi fun]

Is it for a hairdryer? :blink:

You've hit the nail on the head. You could be in Ealing and the Stylist can dry your hair from Walthamstow :-D

 

[T9 man]

That's good I like it :bigsmile:

 

[HDi fun]

I love this place. Always lots of time for some banter. Keep goin Mr T

 

[old-git]

Is it for a hairdryer? :blink:

Well, if it was, it wouldn't be for me, or T9 for that matter

 

[obi_waynne]

It's for a wind tunnel to test the elan in.

 

[old-git]

Actually, I did look into building a simple wind tunnel a few years ago. Basically a long timber tube 2.4m x 2.4m x 6m using a film studio wind fan

 

[HugoBoss]

:blink:Ok so your actually going to drag this out untill we all on our knees begging you to tell us what on earth you are doing....that is just cruel and unusual.

 

[old-git]

Yup

Thanks, HB, getting there. A pair of the 14" items would get me about half way but I can't fit in 4.

 

[HugoBoss]

Got it, you building a spray booth.

 

[HugoBoss]

This might be it, or I'm getting really close...I think. http://www.wfrfire.com/FAN/CONFINED/EFI50.asp

Got eeeet - extraction for an underground smoke pit.

Mr OG is diversifying into Texan style BBQ or smoked exotic meats and wild game :-D

(Guess who's hungry - one track mind - FOOD )

 

[HugoBoss]

^^^LOL^^^ Does it have to be electrical.? http://www.wfrfire.com/FAN/PPV/Gf164se.asp

Last one I give up. Only ones I can find close to your sizes, other ones are all too big.

[old-git]

The HF164 just about matches the CFM requirement. Doesn't mention static pressure but I can ask that question. Bloody heavy but that is probably mainly due to the shroud. Need to check on what they mean by venturi as it needs this to produce the CFM.

Thanks HB, some useful links.
