rainjer Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 My next project will be a air filter cart. I have 3 speed furnace blower I am going to put into a cabinet. There will be (2) 16X20 & (1) 20X20 external filters and (1) 20X20 internal filter to double filter the air. To get it to the height I want I will put a couple drawer above the filter for extra storage. I have 2 slightly different designs and i cannot decide which I like better. One I think looks better and the other has bigger drawer for more storage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 This will be fun to see go together. I like the idea of these that allow you to get air filtration near where you need it. Maybe some day i'll make one. I know i'll try and salvage the furnace motor out of our furnace. I'll be replacing the 30 year old beast in the next couple years.

rainjer Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I had to revise my design when I realize the blower cage inlet was on the right side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 @rainjer, assuming the louvered grate is the air return to the room, would it allow more strage in the cabinet if you returned the air out the bottom? Plenty of space for airflow around the casters, and would probably reduce the number of lost pencils under there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall blower motor is 10"WX20-1/2"TX16"D. As you can see it fills up most of the space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
