In Response To: Re: Fans (Don Beale)

If you call around to your local sheet metal shops, and residential heating contractors, you will find one that has an old furnace or two in thier boneyard. For a nominal fee, or maybe not, they will often let you pull a fan. Typically, these are DWDI forward curve fans, 10-12" diameter. Perfect for the job. Get a belt drive one if you can.

: A prop fan will work, if you are not trying to generate more than about
: 1/8" of pressure. Try to get one with a good oriface opening instead
: of a "box fan". A centrifugal would work better... Opening the
: window is not likely to help. If anything it will help pressurise the
: room, depending on wind exposure.
