fan selection

(OP)
hi guys.

could someone please help to point me in the correct direction. I am designing a product that removes air from an underfloor air distribution plenum and moves it to occupants above desk level. Given that the airflow rate is too low through the plenum I am going to insert a fan into a 6inch air pipe sitting on the raised floor. How do i select a fan for this? I have read fan selection guides, but am unsure about certain factors.

i require a flow rate of360m^3'h through a 6 inch pipe. Now given that the plenum is pressurized at circa 0.1 " w/g, how do i determine the static pressure for the fan? i am considering using a 6"compact axial fan

any ideas would be great

RE: fan selection

I think that you already know that HVAC/R engineering Forum, forum403: HVAC/R engineering is the correct forum for this question.
