Hi,
Just tried to send a picture of the DW2000
scrubbers through but the image must have
been too large. It appears to use axial fans;
however the scrubbers themselves are
very big & I guess the larger the
scrubbers are, the less impedance to flow & hence the
axial fans work fine.
I intend to have small scrubbers, so that
information about radial fans will be a help to me.
Thanks
Alan

scrubber design
Alan
I am sitting in a hotel in Madrid on business. I don't
have access to my design calcs on my CO2 scrubber so the 30 lbs of
SodaSorb HB for 80 hours is an approximation. The amount you
need depends on some design assumptions such as absorbent density, average
temperature and humidity. Best I can remember is that for my
application, it was some were between 22 and 30 lbs for 8
hour primary mission and 72 hours of emergency. Cliff
