Anyone know about extraction, proper setups?
2 Robotic welding booths, need fume extracts..... customer proposes to go straight up and out.
They have 2 500mm axial fans which came with the booths.
Due to location and limited headroom, the duct needs to come out the roof of one of the booths, with a 90deg bend, across about 5metres, in 400mm ductwork, and into the vertical section out of the other booth.
Out of the top of the booth, they propose to have a tee for the other to connect, then the fan, then this silencer affair they also have... then about 1m to the roofline, then up another metre or so, then a chinaman hat on top.....
Few problems i envisage....
Draw from the second booth would be very poor....?
No filtration- can this sort of fume go straight into the air from an industrial premises?
I'd think it should have some form of filter in the booth end?
Height of the outlet above roof line?
Overall extraction, the booths measure about 4mx5mx3m....there is probably a set amount of air changes/hour required by H&S....?
Position of the silencer? Does that not need to be prior to the fan to keep noise down in the factory...?
