Venting dc outside

[Lee Schierer]

Several things to consider:

1. If you pump air out of your shop you need to let air in or suffer a decrease in cfm.

2. Any conditioning you do on the air in your shop will be vented outside at the rate of cfm of your system. This may or may not be a problem depending on your location.

3. Adding a single 90 degree turn in a pipe is equivalent to adding ~10 feet of pipe. 45 degree bends get the same end result with half the air flow loss.

4. Dust and fines may migrate to your neighbors and coat their cars, etc with a layer of dust. The noise may also become a factor depending upon how close they live to your shop.
