HOT OFF THE TEC PRESS...  NEW FlowBlaster
Accessory for Duct Blaster® 
 

from The Energy Conservatory
 
Measuring air flow of residential forced air registers can be a challenge.  The uneven pattern of air flow from typical residential registers and the relatively low register flow rates make accurate measurement difficult with traditional flow capture devices.  The Energy Conservatory has developed the FlowBlaster™ Capture Hood Accessory for the Duct Blaster® to accurately measure air flow in all residential applications.  The FlowBlaster is designed to measure supply, return and exhaust flow from 10 to 300 CFM.  
The FlowBlaster works by adding necessary flow conditioning and then precisely adjusting the speed of the Duct Blaster Fan to compensate for the pressure loss through the conditioners.  The unique, patent-pending design compensates for variations of construction and is able to measure air flow more accurately than commercial capture hood devices that have been used in the residential market.
