How do you calculate the size squirrel cage blower needed for aa given cubic foot spray booth?

You want to acheive an air velocity of 100 FPM through the booth.  Multiply the area in square feet of the opening in the face of the booth by 100 to get the CFM required for your blower.

I have the right to remain silent.  By posting here I have given up that right and accept that anything I say can and will be used as evidence to critique me.

I don't understand your comment. Are you are saying that the topic has been covered already in previous threads? If so then please post a link to those threads.

If you are simply saying that carl425 has answered the question and you have nothing to add your responce is a bit ambiguous.

Thanks,

Dave

Spray Booth of LION:

63 posts and sounds like a know it all... hmmm.... maybe him is used to otter boards, only otter I know lives in a zoo.

Here we *like* repeating ourselves and will delight in talking of the same subject over and over again.  We always have gnu people looking in. LION *likes* gnu people, theya re so tasty, and so slow to catch on that there is a LION living in here.

Love the reply LION. For the record, NVSR mascot is a lion. Was a wolf, and sort of still is.

You can't delete it.

Instead, just edit your post to read only the word Delete or something similar.

That's it.
