Dust collection duct design is a complex science and i am going to intentionally.
Determine diameter and cfm of each branch 4.
There are two phases to designing your dust collection system.
Draw a floor plan of your shop 2.
The first phase is sizing your duct work for adequate volume and velocity of flow for the type of dust you will be creating.
Determine diameter and cfm of main duct 5.
And the second phase is computing the static pressure sp of your system to determine the size and power of your dust collection unit.
There is a large amount of misinformation about what the proper size pipe is to run.
Figure system resistance sp static pressure.
Dust collection design can be complicated here are a few simply steps to laying out an effective and efficient dust collection system.
Many dust collection systems suffer due to poor ductwork designs.
For more on central dust collection see wood magazine issue 43 june 1991 ppg.
Designing your dust collection system there are five simple steps to designing an effective and efficient dust collection system.
In reality proper pipe sizing can get complicated and depends on many variables.
Air and wood particles moving through the dust collection system quickly build up static electricity charges in any nonconductive hose or piping hose or piping not made of metal.
