how many cfm's do i need?
Comments (26)Well, given a 2010 thread, start a new one. Also, reread your sentences before publishing to assure that they are as clear as possible. Since 2010 much information has been published here to answer such questions. In your particular case, HU-, an efficient response needs to be based on whether you want to make a modest corrective change, or redo whatever you have in place. First, to answer how much air is needed the following may help, given a conventional pseudo pro hood with baffles and large entry aperture: If your hood aperture is 4 ft x 2 ft for 8 square feet of area, then you need for most high heat residential cooking 90 CFM/sq. ft or 720 ACTUAL CFM. This flow rate can nominally be achieved using a blower rated at 1.5X that CFM or 1080 CFM at zero static pressure. This assumes a fully functional make-up air system providing 720 actual CFM, which itself may need a similar blower rating around 1000 CFM, or open windows (not usually code compliant), or living in Pago Pago where windows don't apply. Capturing oven smoke upon door opening is very difficult in any scenario other than where commercial large hoods overlapping are used with commensurately larger blowers and large entry aperture volumes. (See recent opaone thread.) In any case, given an actual flow rate of 720 CFM, then the duct should be sized for a flow velocity in the range of 1000 to 2000 feet per minute. Divide CFM by duct sectional area (in square feet) to evaluate a candidate duct diameter. (Area = pi times diameter-squared divided by 4)....See MoreHow many parts of each do I need?

Comments (2)see if any of these might help: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=dividing+dahlia+tubers&iax=videos&ia=videos and why is it important to you that they have less sprouts??? the tuber is a storage unit for dormancy and once new growth starts.. one would hope it would put down roots to feed the new growth .. and eventually store energy for next dormancy ... one would think that it wouldnt be relying on said stored energy for very long .. as once the leaves emerge.. and start processing sunlight into energy.. the plant wont be using the stored energy .. the only reason i could see to limit sprouts.. would be if you were a hardcore grower who plans on entering flower shows and your goal is one single perfect flower .. and if you were doing that.. i would think you would have years of experience .. and would know the answer all that said.. you seem to have multiples .. so make notes.. and experiment on different plants .. and see what happens.. many of us.. didnt have the WWw to confuse us .. lol.. and we just did a lot of experimenting ... and that was part of the fun .. and frankly.. i remember my experiments more than anything i ever read ... good luck and have fun ken...See MorePoochella
