Hot Air Vacuum Pump
Hot Air Vacuum Pump
(OP)
Hello all,
I need some guidance sorting through the plethora of options I face.
The job: I need a small Vacuum Pump that can pull air through a lit cigar at 1 to 5cfm, for at least 30 seconds at a time.
I have looked at rotary vane pumps, Wob-L pumps, diaphragm pumps, etc. I could use some experienced feedback. It would have to be able to handle hot air, be quiet, and be small (6 inches largest dimension). Smaller is better, and cheaper is always good.
Thank you for any help,
Crit

A fan should be able to do this.

A water-driven induction puffer did the trick. See attached.

The induction suction is very cool, but I am looking for something that can be built into a small structure/appliance. It would be attached to a cone that a cigar gets put against to have air drawn through it.

Have you considered a fish tank air pump?:

I would put a small filter in the line just so don't pull junk into the pump.

If you didn't mind using running water an eductor would be the best. No moving parts, nothing to wear or break.
