Re: Building a closet for dust collector
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAll forms of energy ultimately end in heat, so yes, 8KW of energy coming in results in 8KW of heat in your shop. ? A 3KW 5HP motor produces 3KW worth of heat ¨C electrical resistance heat in the power cord and motor windings, sliding friction heat in the bearings and air friction in parts rotating in air. Even the work output of the motor ¨C the cutting, sanding, blowing, etc., ultimately ends up as heat ¨C if you stick your hand in a pile of just cut sawdust, it will be quite warm from the cutting tool friction and the forced deformation of the wood. ? It is accurate to say that a 3KW motor itself doesn¡¯t itself give off 10,000 BTU of heat, but if you factor all of the losses in the system and especially the work output into whatever the motor is doing, you end up with 10,000 BTU of heat in your room as a result of the motor running. It¡¯s counter-intuitive, but it¡¯s true. ? From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> on behalf of "imranindiana via groups.io" <imranindiana@...> ? Joe, ? I am not an expert but I am pretty sure this is not correct. ? ¡°?That's about 8KW of electric coming in that all turns to heat, either motor heat, or friction heat from cutting etc.¡± ? Only a small portion of power being consumed is generating heat. ? Imran
?Mark, I understand the thermal mass.? I often run the saw or shaper for an hour or two straight.? Sucking 110F air into my shop would definitely be a problem.? When running I have a 5HP dust collector and a 5HP saw, shaper, or sander running. That's about 8KW of electric coming in that all turns to heat, either motor heat, or friction heat from cutting etc.? My lighting is another 2.3kw.? 1kw of electric is 3412btu so 10kw of electric in is about 34K btu.? Over 3 tons of AC.? If I ran machines all the time and wanted to keep it cool when it's over 110F I would have had to have 10 tons of AC per the mechanical engineer.? That's without dumping exhaust outside.? Now if I were heating the machine heat would work for me and not against me. |

Re: Boom Arm progress
Single pivot will not allow a full 180 degree articulation unless 1 arm is above the other, but then that does not work out well for the hose. ?As for extra hose, for any boom arm, you need hose going from the vac to the boom arm, across the boom arm, and down to the tool. ?Smooth pipe is better than flex for maintaining CFM.?
With this boom arm, you will have the flex hose going vac to the boom arm and from the top of the boom arm to the tool, but within the boom arm, you have smooth wall pipe instead of flex hose (except at the mid pivot point. |
Re: Boom Arm progress
Looks very good. I have two questions. One, I can't quite get my head around the gears function in the knuckle joint. Is there a reason a single pivot point won't work?
Two, I'm wondering how that much extra hose is going to effect performance of the vac. Thanks Jason Jason Holtz J. Holtz Furniture 3307 Snelling Ave. South Minneapolis, MN 55406 612 432-2765 -- Jason J. Holtz Furniture 3307 Snelling Ave. South Minneapolis, MN 55406 |

Basically a more simplified version. which is a good thing..

Re: Boom Arm progress
Of course.. Joel and I will be posting how to make this so anyone else who wants, can make their own.. all the details will be posted as well as where to buy the parts..

Re: Boom Arm progress
No..actually I drilled and used an adjustable reamer to bore the hole where I could press the bearings into the plate..it worked very well and there is no sag or loose play at all

Looks like those gears worked out well, good deal. Did you end up using any thrust bearings between the plates?

Re: Boom Arm progress
the 1 PVC tube is for the dust collection, the other is for the electric power cord, and airline to feed thru. I have not attached the hoses that fit between the 2 arms at the joint yet..that's next
