Blower testing

[@SteelCitySirensandTrains]

Off topic but happen to know if the Thunderbolt in Westmont is officially gone? Friend of mine that filmed it with no channel is wondering.

Is that for a central vac? How much suction and airflow will that have!

[@natej4230]

This is a lobe blower for my Thunderbolt air raid siren. It moves around 250 CFM and it is right around 5 PSI. In terms of suction, on the intake end it pulls in around 150 inches of suction? The website says at max speed it can do 375 CFM and 217 inches of vacuum, however it is not running that fast I do not think. Maybe I'm wrong.

@@natej4230 that is a lot tho if it was used for a vacuum purpose although correct it’s not the typical type for those industrial vacuums, I think they use a centrifuge blower or something
