Two Main Blower Modifications
There are two main ways to modify the performance of your blower as listed in
Chapter 3: Getting Started
. One way is the adjustment of the blower outlet
orientation. The other way is the adjustment of the fan speed to fine-tune the
performance of your blower/hood system. Refer to Chapter 3 for these
instructions. Additionally, all the performance data for your particular blower
model number are listed in
Chapter 4: Performance Data and Safety Precautions
.
Additional Modifications by Adding Ductwork Accessories
There are additional ways to equip your blower by adding any of the accessories
on the following pages. To ensure that your blower exhaust system will operate
properly, the ductwork and accessories linking your hood and blower must be
sized correctly. Along with the accessories listed next are the “equivalent
resistance in feet of straight duct” for each accessory. It is necessary to compute
the sum of the equivalent resistance factors for each accessory and ductwork
length for your entire hood/blower system. Then the blower can be sized properly
from the total equivalent resistance for your exhaust system. Blower Sizing
Example: You have selected a Labconco Protector Premier 48 Laboratory Hood at
100 fpm and 725 CFM. The static pressure of the Protector Premier 48 at 100 fpm
is 0.22". The exhaust collar of this hood is sized to receive 12" diameter PVC duct
directly. In this example, your fume removal system requires 30 feet of straight
