Re: Building a closet for dust collector
|
If you're lucky enough to live where you can exhaust outdoors, that's the ultimate "silencer".? It's also improves flow and eliminates filters.? ?
Mine exhausts thru?roof, pointed about 30¡ã from horizontal away from my close neighbor.? You might be surprised at how tolerable the noise is.? None of my neighbors have ever even commented on it.? It's a very low-pitched sound and when blowing into open air dissipates very fast, unlike when blowing into a shop where it reverberates around.??

Brett, that would be a lot easier.? The collector is a bastard modified Oneida.? It¡¯s basically their current 5HP Smart collector with one large HEPA
filter.? I am going to modify again to double the filter area.? There is a small Onieda silencer inside the current filter mount.? Maybe a longer one before the filters is the right answer.? It¡¯s really just the noise from the output I¡¯d like to quiet.? How
effective are the silencers? I suspect they disrupt the airflow, maybe put a larger diameter in and then split to dual 8¡± outputs? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

Joe, understand the context better, thanks. With your added info, maybe also something along the lines of an inline muffler/silencer on the exhaust side is worth?trying. We used to use them for vent fans and compressed air exhaust for the
rock drills? in mining and they worked great, though did need cleaning they seldom received?from dust and diesel particulate collecting .?
?
I've been using this collector in my 3 car garage shop for years.? I do a lot that is not noisy enough to require ear muffs. The noise mostly comes from the exhaust and it's my understanding that forcing the exhaust to make a 90 degree
turn or 180 degrees of turn reduces the noise a lot.??
