Hi,
After a bit of advice regarding extractor fans for a dental surgery. Due to the ongoing Coronavirus crisis I've been asked to install extractor fans to a dental practice I occasionally due maintenance for.
Due to the high risk of airborne particles from certain procedures they would have to wait an hour between patients before they could safely let anyone in. To get around this they've been advised they can install extractor fans in each surgery (3 in total). The internal doors are to be sealed shut so each surgery would require an inlet vent and the extractor fan.
They're aiming for 10 air changes per hour for each surgery.
Each room is about 50m3
So am I right in saying that they would require a fan with an extraction rate of about 500m3 per hour?
Fans have to be wall mounted so can't use Inline fans.
From what I can tell no standard 6" fan comes close but 9" fans do.
Does anyone have experience of installing 9" fans and the type of core drill required as I'm guessing my standard makita core drill wouldn't be up to the task?!
Any other advice would be very welcome as I wouldn't claim to be an expert in this field!
Thanks
