Something occurred to me while lurking over this conversation.
The ratings on these blowers (e.g. CFM) assume sea-level air pressure, don't they? Shouldn't the output, and the efficiency of the blowers be down-rated when calculating their effect at 10,000 feet?
In other words, a 1200 CFM blower at sea level would be putting out the equivalent of 800 CFM (sea level) at 10,000 feet.
