Hi all just wondering what of fan can i use for a airbrush booth I'm using speaker box thanks
 
I need to build my own, didn't manage yet. But still planning to do that. I was thinking to use wents for pc, from noctua:
https://noctua.at/en/products/fan

I was thinking about making pull/push combination of multiple fans around my working space/easel. That is just idea. Had bunch of stuff lately which I needed to buy, so my vents system is on waiting list to do. But I seen people here made quite nice setups at their own place. I have no doubts, you will get great ideas from forum members here.

I also don't have a clue how much air should system be able to pull (m³/h), yet...

  • FAQ
You specify airflow in m³/h, how can I convert to CFM?

In accordance to the International System of Units (SI system), Noctua specifies volumetric flow rate (airflow) using the SI unit of cubic metres per hour (m³/h). The SI unit can easily be converted to cubic feet per minute (CFM): One m³/h is ~0.589 CFM and one CFM is ~1.699 m³/h. For convenient conversion, online tools such as www.convertunits.com can be used.
 
Thanks for that
np. My original idea was I use cheap power pc supply, controller for fans so I can manage how fast hey are spinning, something like this:

and then arrange multiple fans according to my needs. Idea still in the process of how to do this :D

It depends on what you're going to spray in this booth. Speakers are also different.
Some people just use kitchen type ventilators.

Anyway, I think floor filters for professional spray booth (blue-green) is the best choice to use. It seems that's just that they sell as the filters for AB spray booth.

You can just buy regulator for fans;) They even call it this way in some cases "RPM regulator for fans". Looks identical that's used for regulation of motor RPM in Foredom like tools. I think you will easily find this.

can't find them for multiple fans -.-

I'm sorry:)
But if you don't want to use all of them being regulated separately, you can use one of these, connected all your fans at once.
Only thing that matters is A (load). And the voltage, certainly.

I wanted to insert the photo from Ukrainian site, but they started to sell smth made in Ukraine and better one.

Different names of one egg;)

thanks for idea!
 
He's a great resource for figuring out what kind of fan you need:

He goes over the engineering stuff in a DIY friendly way. Once you've done the basic maths for your booth setup, it's just a matter of skimming 2-3 specs on whatever fans you're looking at to find a match.

On the flip side, once you know the engineering stuff, it becomes obvious just how likely you'd be to end up with a fan that couldn't do the job if you hadn't done the math.
