Description
TEC Minneapolis Blower Door™ Mini Fan System with DG-1000 Gauge
Small houses or houses built to the more stringent energy savings standards have very small amounts of leakage through the building envelope. A Minneapolis Duct Blaster® fan can be just the right size when regularly testing these energy efficient homes. Another application for a Mini-Fan Blower Door System is individual apartment testing for multi-family buildings or when testing to LEED.
This complete kit features the Duct Blaster® fan, and fan speed controller, DG-1000 Pressure and Flow Gauge, a standard 45 in. by 96 in. door frame and fabric door panel for the smaller fan. The lightweight Duct Blaster® fan weighs just 7 pounds, but delivers enough air flow to test small homes or homes trying to achieve the highest airtightness testing standards. Provides quick and accurate airtightness measurements from 10 - 1,500 CFM. (Optional Ring 4 can measure 2.4 to 25 CFM.)
The Minneapolis Blower Door™ has long been recognized as the best designed and supported building airtightness testing system in the world. Combined with specialized accessories and testing procedures developed by The Energy Conservatory, the Minneapolis Blower Door™ is the system of choice for utility DSM programs, energy raters, HVAC contractors and weatherization professionals.
