    er rr ‘SYSTEMS oF zy AIR HANDLING How to Design Your Air Handling System Designing Your Air Handling Dust System —_—____—_— EE ee ee In addition to using the following instructions, we recommend reading the “Woodshop Dust Control Book”, by professional woodworker Sandor Nagyszalanczy. Sandor gives you practical, shop-tested solutions to total dust contro! so you can build the right system for your shop-without complox calculations. Part #: TPBWDC. SOFTCOVER, 192 PAGES, To order call us at (800) 367-3828 The first stop 1. Location of dust producing machines: indicate size & location of dust pick-ups on each machine. 2. Desired location of dust collector unit. 3. Floor to joist measurement. 4 Any obstructions that would interfere with the fun of the duct designing your system is to draw a floor plan of your shop area including the following: You should algo familiarize yoursolf with these terms: (CFM -Air Volume in cubic feet per minute FPM Velocity of Air in fest per minute. ‘SP - Static Prossuro. This is expressed in inches water gauge. Its resistance to air at rest in a duct, and is also commonly called "resistance," friction," “friction loss" or "pressure loss." VP - Velocity Pressure: expressed in inches water gaugo. It is kinetic prossure in the direction of flow necessary to cause air at rest {o flow at a given velocity. Itis best to do the following calculations BEFORE you purchase your Dust Collector or the necessary ductwork. ‘A) Duct Velocity (FPM); 8) Determine Diameter of each Branch; C) Determine Diameter of Main Duct; D) System Resistance (SP) A) Duct Velocity. (Use the chart below to determine the Vel ity of your system.) ‘Type of Dust Velocity in Branches Velocity in Main Metalworking Dust 4500 FPM 4000 FPM, Woodworking Dust 4000 FEM, 3500 FPM Other Light Dust 4000 FPM 3500 FPM 1B) Determine Diameter of each Branch. There are several ways to determine the diameter of the branches, 1. if the machine has a factory installed collar, the manufacturer has determined that the machine needs that size branch tunder normal circumstances. 2.Ifthe machine has a metric diameter outlet, convert it into inches, and round off to the nearest inch. When writing up your pars list you may néed to order a custom reducer 3. Ifthe outiet is rectangular you need to determine the equivalent round diameter When you write up your parts list use a rectangular-to-round transition. 4.1 the branch is smaller than 3° diameter plan using a reducer near the machinery to increase the branch to 3” Figure the CFM for 3° (195 CFM). Determine CFM requirements for each branch. Under the proper velocity note the CFM of each branch. f working with wood dust, use 4000 FPM in branches (sae Chart 1) €) Determine Diameter of Main Duct. 1. Determine which machines are your primary machines. A primary machine is the machine(s} that will operate at the ‘same time under the worst conditions. {If you normally operate two machines, but once # week need to operate a third machine at the same time, then you must size your system forall three machines.) It is recommended that you highlight the primary machines on the drawing, ‘Sizing the Main Trunk Line. When sizing the main trunk line start with the primary machine farthest from the dust. collector. Run that size duct until the next primary branch enters the main. Increase the main size at that junction to ‘accommodate the C.FM. total of the two primaries. You will follow this practice all the way to the collector, sizing all primary junctions to accommodate total C.FM. ofall primaries at that point. Do not increase main duct size when a branch other than a primary enters. Your total C.EM. requirement is the total ofall primary branches. When not using 2 primary machine you will close blastgate and divert suction to a secondary machine. Example: You have 3 primary machines. You have already Table Saw, Lathe 4* Diameter 350 CFM assigned the branch diameter and CFM roquiroments. Radial Saw. 5" Diameter 550 CFM ‘A 4* branch will be run from the Table Saw until it joins with the 4" branch from the Lathe. At this point your main starts and you ‘need to increase the pipe to handle the combined CFM (350+350 = 700). Using the CFM Chart 1 look up 700 CFM under the appro: priate velocity (3600 in the main for wood dust), then look at the corresponding diameter (6"). You will run 6" pipe in the main from the Lathe until the branch of the Radial Saw joins the main. Here again you need to increase your main to handle the total CFM (700+550=1250 CFM). Using the chart again you will see that 1250 CFM is slightly more than volume for 8” diameter. Drop back to 8” diameter so as not to go below transport velocity. Run the 8 duct in your main from the Radial Saw to your Dust Collector. If you ate installing an indoor recirculating dust collector you need not calculate any more duct diameters, If you are attaching ductwork to the exhaust side of your dst colectorit is accepted prectce | [LULU Chaat @ Chart’ toucadutdamecrwoictes” | CMs Gancas | ae naaia Glaet eae aan larger on the exhaust side tan on oe omen thet wid. thue niming Dia.

They are entry loss, diny filter loss, static pressure of the worst branch duct, static pressure of main duct, and statie pressure of the return duct. 1. There are more complicated ways to figure the entry loss of your system, but we find it usually equals a loss of 1" watergauge. (Use 1 as a constant) It your system has fiters, add in a2" loss. (If you do not have fiers add zero). ‘The Worst Branch, is the branch with the greatest resistance. The branch with the greatest resistance is usually a smaller diameter with the most lineal footage of pipe and elbows. Static pressure of worst branch and main duct can be calculat fed by using Chart 2. Chart 2 is basad on 100 feat of pips; therefore, you have to convert all elbows to an equivalent of pipe. To convert 80 and 45 degree elbows to equivalent feet of pipe use this chart. When figuring the feet of pipe, count lateral type branches as 45 degree elbows. Flexhose has a lot of resistance depending on the corrugation, For this rea- son it is suggested that you keep hose to a minimum. Multiply your length of flexhose on your worst branch by 3 for equivalent length of straight pipe.

Now you have all the information you need to make an educated decision in purchasing your dust collector. You have determined the Velocity, CFM, Static Pressure and the size of the ductwork. To develop your list of materials required, go through the system; this time starting et the dust collector and list each part you will need. Don't forget the assembly equipment such as: pop rivets, hangers, strapping, caulking, and couplings.

Fittings and Small-End couplings are male sized to slip inside pipe and flexhose, 2. Fiting-to-Fiting connections are made by using a Large-End coupling or a short length of spiral pipe. 3, Our duct work is not flared or belled on one end forthe “air flow" type af joint.
