Senile Old Fart
I bought a new slightly freight damaged 30" axial flow belt driven fan. As you can see in the photo one of the flanges was bent a little bit, nothing 30 minutes wont fix $250 cash w/ receipt
It was shipped with a 1 hp motor which I will be replacing with a 3hp before it is installed.
It was intended for use on a new Rohner paint booth.
The specs on it are: 1hp 1 ph, 240v.
8000 CFM at .3" SP
IF 3hp
12300cfm@.3" SP
This will be my exhaust fan, what I am wondering is positive pressure or negative pressure preferd. If positive pressure is the cats meow I will continue to look for a pair of 8000 cfm intake fans.
2nd question, down flow booth, Which is best a pit or "basement" where the floor is lifted 6 inches off the slab . Is the pit type worth the effort of digging and forming or is the basement the easy way with just as good of performance?
Cost difference is not an issue, they are both comparable in that respect.
I am leaning towards the basement type as it would be a heck of a lot easier to remove from the structure someday in the distant future when we push up daisys .
