Blower System Design Literature/Resources
(OP)
I'm a Chemical Eng by trade (and a fairly new one at that) but I've been asked to do some work on a blower system. It currently operates at 2500SCFM, SP is about 30" wCg. They want to double the capacity of the system but I don't know what will work from a design standpoint (run parallel blowers, replace existing one with one with double the capacity, put a second identical blower on the opposite end of the header so the blowers pull air in opposite directions, etc) because I've never really dived into HVAC. Does anyone have any good resources that I can get my hands on that does a decent job explaining blower systems? Thanks.

1. ASHRAE HANDBOOK OF HVAC APPLICATIONS - INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION.
2. INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION by American Council of Government Industrial Hygienists.
A lot depends on what you are exhausting/supplying. Hazardous fumes, comfort ventilation, material handling, etc.?
A lot is involved - type of blower, static pressure, material, control, dampers, blower rpm.
This is not really for someone without experience. I for example would not want to try to design a chemical process as it is not my field.
I would suggest asking for help from someone well versed in the field.
