What is this thing called?

I'm trying to put this on craigslist or ebay but don't know how to describe it.

Looks like an old school squirrel cage fan to me...

 

[Shannow]

Fan/blower

 

[eljefino]

more from the pothead collection?

I'd call it an "HVAC Blower, _" Inlet, _" Outlet, 120 VAC, 3/4 Hp".
But that's just me.

It appears to be a blower you put in a dryer exhaust to help move the hot air to the exit point of your house. Some even have a thermostat so that it continues to move the hot air after your dryer finishes its work.

Kinda hard for me to tell how big the openings are

Hello, I do believe it's called a "booster fan". Look 'em up on Dayton's or Grainger's site to confirm. If you come up dry, make a representative sketch and ask a HVAC guy. I'd list the overall dimensions, the inlet and outlet sizes and the HP rating. There's no name or model number on it? Kira

I am going to guess 8"

 

[Mr_Incredible]

Man, that's gonna be fun to clean yearly...

Hello, Fit filters to its inlet side. DANG, it has a 3/4 hp motor, it oughta be able to suck through a filter. Kira

Thanks. Yes it is from the grow house eviction. Hard to put an ad for it if I don't know what it is.

Looks like a industrial exaust fan to me, to big to be a booster fan.
