The pressure drop as well as the noise drop will be exponential.
However, if a tube with a large anode cooler is used - such as an 8171
- a 1700-rpm blower will usually do the job, especially for SSB and
telegraphy. What is the diameter of the squirrel cage, Ken?

Hi,
I have a Dayton pressure blower that puts out 820 CFM with a 3450 RPM
1/3 HP
motor. If I substitute a 1725 RPM 1/4 HP motor will the CFM drop in
half?
Will the roaring sound drop accordingly also? I hope there is a
straight
formula rather than working with fan diameter and number of blades etc?
