Hey Fred
Drawing air into the arch is a neat concept - I can see the benefits - how loud is the blower?
Thinking it has to exhaust through the stack, so it needs to stay in the shack?

[fred]

yes. quieter than a blower on a steamaway and is in the end of the arch blowing up through the taper

How many cfms are the blowers that creat the draft on a 4 ft wide arch?

Has CDL released any estimated boil rates for them? I'd definitely consider one if I were in the market for a new evaporator.

Cdl has not released much info about the rig. Been looking for some material on the unit with no luck. I watched a introduction from Roths Sugar Bush about the unit, would have to call to find out boiling rate on the size you're interested in. Would like to learn more about the blower size.

The blower can be mounted outside the sugarhouse if required. You just need a pipe to connect to the stack. Just need to keep it as close as possible to the evaporator because the pipe will cause restriction/reduce power.
