78sharpshooter Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have a solar charged car battery for my led shop lighting and was wondering if this 12v blower would work for a 10 to 12 inch ribbon burner.http://m.grainger.com/mobile/product/DAYTON-Blower-2C646I have read that 5 inch water column pressure would be sufficient but am not sure of the coversion of SP to wc.

timgunn1962 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The flow rates are given at a range of discharge pressures and I'm fairly sure the value of 148 CFM is against 0.500" water column of Static Pressure.Basically, it will develop something over 1/10th of the pressure you have read would be sufficient. Probably not a lot over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Probably not. Squirrel cage blowers generally do not develop pressure. You will need a blower that will develop pressure such as the smaller blower at www.kayneandson.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 If 12v is important try a mattress, rubber boat, etc. inflater. they put out a good amount of air at enough pressure to make a 6 man raft tight and you see them at garage/yard/etc. sales for a couple bucks all the time.Frosty The Lucky.

sskalko Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nautilair has some 12 VDC combustion blowers. www.ametektip.com They are good fans, they have variable speed control and are designed for combustion applications. They are pricey though and can be difficult to source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 You can get those mattress blowers cheap at Lidl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phabib Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I would wonder how long a mattress blower that's designed for 5 minutes of use every few weekends in the summer would last being run for 3 hours at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
