6101 Blower Door

Formerly: Model 3101 and Q4E

The new 6101 is even faster, easier to use with much more professional appearance.

All the features of a Model 5101 but double the power. The variable frequency drive gives fast and steady speed control making this system ideal for testing very large residential homes and commercial buildings with a single fan. The added power increases the range of test pressures that can be created without changing ranges mid test. The stability of control reduces the fan’s response to wind and holds the test pressure more constant, making tests faster and more accurate. New guide fins over the flow sensors decrease sensitivity to wind by 75%. System accessory and fan cases are optional with the 5101 but included in this Model 6101 system.

The Model 6100 performs fully automatic testing using the gauge, a laptop and FanTestic software. Alternatively, simply key the desired test pressure into the gauge and read “Air Changes” or “leakage per unit area” in real time directly from the touchscreen gauge; a unique and highly sought after Retrotec feature. The gauge also offers an onboard "Set-and-Forget" control of building pressure. All you need to do is choose your desired pressure, and then let the gauge do the rest. As you seal the leaks in your enclosure and the leakage rate decreases, the gauge automatically and instantly adjusts the fan speed to keep the enclosure at the correct pressure.

Software provided with the DM32 touchscreen gauge provides automatic data logging and remote gauge control from a laptop. With our new 5 year recommended calibration interval on the DM32, you will have the peace of mind knowing that yearly calibrations are a thing of the past.

This system will test a wide range of enclosures, from super leaky to super tight. This high output fan includes 6 standard + 3 optional low flow ranges to provide accurate results over the widest range of enclosure volumes. All Retrotec fans are made with extremely durable space-age hard plastic, which makes them both lightweight and tough. The optional high pressure cloth panel opens up other applications where more pressure is required such as rain penetration tests.

6121 Blower Door

Formerly: Q5E

With a sleek and professional appearance, the 6120 Series Blower Doors boast a powerful, 1.5 hp Model 6000 calibrated fan capable of up to 8500 CFM output, as well as a professional, modular hard-panel for the door frame which adjusts to fit a wide variety of door sizes, and a touchscreen DM32 gauge. This is a high output air leakage test system ideal for testing large residential homes and some commercial buildings with a single fan, since the modular Hard Panel is great for rapid set up in larger doorways.

The modular Hard Panel comes in a rugged carrying case and has an industrial strength Velcro strap to hold the fan securely.

With the fan installed in the door panel, the 6120 Series Blower Door perform fully automatic testing using the gauge, a laptop and the provided FanTestic software. Alternatively, simply key the desired test pressure into the gauge and read “Air Changes” or “leakage per unit area” in real time directly from the touchscreen gauge; a unique and highly sought after Retrotec feature.

Software provided with the DM32 touchscreen gauge provides automatic data logging, and remote gauge control from a laptop. With our new 5 year recommended calibration interval on the DM32, you will have the peace of mind knowing that yearly calibrations are a thing of the past.

Calibrated range configurations allow one fan to test a wide range of enclosures, from super leaky to super tight. This high output fan includes 9 flow ranges to provide accurate results over the widest range of enclosure volumes. All Retrotec fans are made with extremely durable space-age hard plastic foam, which makes them both lightweight and tough. They are also easily reversible: to switch from pressurizing to depressurizing your enclosure, simply flip the fan around in its panel.

Double hi-power fans offers a huge advantage. Not only in the maximum size you can test; probably any enclosure. But also enough power to test large dampers while installed. The high power fans will test their ability to open and then accurately measure the entire relief vent pathway to ensure the peak pressure specifications are not exceeded.

Request literature on all of Retrotec systems to determine the size of enclosures that can be tested with each system.

Test for hold times in flooded volumes up to 102,000 cu ft (2000 m3) for Inert agents and 140,000 cu ft (4000 m3) for halocarbon chemical agents.

Testing pressure relief vents will require more power however. This system will test the venting for a volume up to a maximum of 24,000 cu ft (660 m3) for Inert agents although vents up to 16 sq ft (1.6 m2) can be measured individually.

All Retrotec systems include tech support from Retrotec who originated the idea of Enclosure Integrity testing in 1984. They promoted it within NFPA and in 1986 wrote the first Enclosure Integrity standard. Retrotec has been the lead researcher for enclosure testing ever since. Every major clean agent system manufacturer worldwide relies on Retrotec’s expertise for both hold time and peak pressure predictions.
