it's a 1/3 HP motor... I plugged it in, and it runs real smooth, but when
I put a paper towel close to the sides, well, let's just say that I wasn't
too impressed with the drawing power of the fan...

if any one can help, it's you guys/gals on this board!

Hi all, I need help/advice...

I just got an old furnace blower assembly with a 990 rpm 240 v motor. I
want to build an air filter unit.

The squirrel cage is 12" X 12" and I just hooked up a 1745rpm 115v motor.
The original motor was rated at 990rpm. Is the new motor going to give
me better result by spinning the squirrel cage virtually 2X faster? I
was wondering if I could get away with a unit having filters on three
sides?

Is there any sites on the web that show IN Depth, CLOSE UP photos on how
to construct a unit?

thanks for any suggestions/help

Anthony

What is the HP of the 115 volt motor? Twice the RPM will require
approximately 4 times the HP!!
I don't think its gonna work!
