I have to move my studio off campus by may 6th. i am fireproofing the area that i will be working in with cement board, and putting my bench in the corner of a room that is about 8'x14'. I think i am going to construct a hood that is 2'x3' to put over my workbench, with an inline fan and ducting leading straight up to the outside world. is this a good fan? Booster,Duct,14 In Axial Fan Duct Booster, Duct Diameter 14 Inches, Straight Length 25/50/75 Feet, Length 15 1/2 Inches, Air Flow @ Duct 1100/100/900 CFM, Power Rating 122 Watts, Current Rating 1.70 Amps, Air Flow @ 0.000 Inch Static Pressure 1200 CFM, 120 Volts thanks.

Personally, I'd stay away from duct booster fans - they are designed to boost the air flow of air that is already moving in a duct. They typically don't have enough guts to work against much back pressure.

When the math is done you can see how much air is really moved , 1540 clears a room 10x10x15.4 feet per minute ,roughly a full bedroom . It has the umph to work too , designed to push and pull air through attics , the motor is in air flow path but I have never had a problem with heat and when its cold I even use an oil lamp to keep it warm enough to run . The only draw back I have with the fan is that its set up on a thermastat so it shuts off if your work room gets below 60 degrees , I just havent gone around the thermo yet
