Finding air

[Pinky]

Hi
My compressors are a fair distance from where I am spraying, however I am not sure where the air is comeing from
Air bricks, or from under the garage door, I was thinking of using a smoke bomb to establish air flow or is there something better
Thank you

Your compressor is sucking in air from the room it's in.

Unless the room is hermetically sealed it will suck it in under doors and anywhere else it can.

Why are you worried about it ?

Are you spraying in the same room ? my spraying/grinding room has a 10" fan generating negative air pressure never really bothered me where the air comes from but its pushing a lot more air out of the workshop than the compressor for sure . The only issue it causes is the cold air from outside does eventually bring the temperature down inside

If it's a separate building it's probably easier too smoke bomb in their and see where it comes out ?

Thank you for your words of wisdom, my property is a bungalow on a float taken up a meter than a poured concrete floor on top, this allows 2 large areas 6m x 6m and 5m x5m 1 metre in height, I use this area for storage, the garage is attached to these, access by 1.5 metre hole leading to the other room access 1.5 metre (i use a chair on wheels to access these areas ) the compressors
are in the far room, internal cavity vents are in the wall so I'm hoping the air is draw down, the garage is big but low 6ft 4 in height, aprox, i have an induction fan and an exstactor fan when spraying, however thus dousnt mean the air isn't being sucked from the garage I think a smoke bomb is required,
