Thread: Sanding Room

I have been asked to look at how to ventilate a dedicated sanding room that will ventilate to atmosphere and where noise is not an issue at all. I supplied a cyclone to do this exact same thing some years ago but the design was done by a HVAC engineer and I had no input to that side of it. My first thoughts are to use inline fans in Sonotubes to move a large amount of air fast and ventilate the room at ground level so the air passes upwards and takes the dust with it. Using very large PVC will I expect blow any budget out of the water. I have yet to see a budget number and a lot will depend on that as to the equipment used. It should be interesting to see where this goes if it does, I don't know of any air flow numbers to do this sort of thing so I guess more is going to be better.
