Thanks so far for the feedback from everyone. I have actually had a great deal of experience with air exhibits and their requirements. I have generally found squirrel cage blowers the best. I know about static pressure and making sure there are as few bends or obstructions in the flow as possible. I also know about making air inlets match the fans to maximize performance. I've dealt with issues of safety (how about a blower shredding a pencil and spitting splinters all over the gallery!?) and noise (muffling inlets). Between myself and some of the great exhibit techs who worked with me I do have some great details in my bag.

BUT what I was really hoping for is some actual numbers, data, specs, etc. Something I can compare to what I already know.  I will happily share any conclusions with the list.
