Sizing a Blower for Fume Collection

Sizing a Blower for Fume Collection

Sizing a Blower for Fume Collection

(OP)
I'm trying to size a blower for a fume collection application. What I need is a reasonable assumption/guess for entrance velocity (CFM) for such an application. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

RE: Sizing a Blower for Fume Collection

(OP)
Oh yeah...we don't anticipate there being much fumes. I don't even know a good estimate on what we expect. I just want a reasonable sized blower that can get rid of a very small amount of fumes. We have a 4-inch line into the HVAC.

RE: Sizing a Blower for Fume Collection

try putting this in the hvac section

Also we need a bit more info

what fumes are they?

whats the process?

Could a small hood be put over the source of contamination?

Is the processs in a large room or a small room etc
