1/4 Pounder Posts: 179 Joined: July 02, 2011	Here is a compact blower that I found. In case anyone is interested in a smaller blower. The intake opening is right at 5 inches. It is sold on eBay by a seller through Surplus Center. https://www.ebay....SwFyhaAOHD also this speed control. https://www.amazo...ed+control I wired it into the blower and it has pretty good variable speed. I will know more in about a week when I get it all assembled. Edited by BobbyS on 07/02/2018 4:53 PM

I don't know if the advertised figure of 140 m3/h is true or not and how can be measured, but it is not capable to exhaust all the chaff in a turbo oven design... It could be true though... because when fan is started the temperature inside oven drop about 20C and need more power % pwm to compensate, but the reason could be elsewhere: the turbo oven is a giant cyclone separator itself. Because the fan hole was been placed on the oven lateral wall, the rotating centrifugal speed of the air mass could be more than the fan suction force... I guess the exhaust hole should be on the bottom, where I see chaff landing and forming a vortex. Thoughts? Roasters: DIY: TO based IR 640g Moded commercial: Dieckmann RoestMeister, Nesco, popper(s).

The fan you are referencing is not designed for exhaust gas movement in a pellet stove. It is designed for general air movement (i.e. movement of room temp air through blower then through heat exchanger in pellet stove then out again into room). The following fan is designed for the very hot exhaust gas movement in a pellet stove: https://www.lowes...t/50141134 It does not use a squirrel cage but a different type of air movement fan. The motor is totally separated from the casing and has its own cooler fan built into it. I use this fan for all my large electric roasters. I also use it for a rocket stove I have built for my workshop. It is a really decent fan.

For example about water... aren't 140 liters per hour still 140 liters if pumped by a propeller or a turbine ?
