Hi there,
Ive recently purchased a new felder rl 350 dust collector for my new shop. I have my layout mostly figured out but im trying to figure out what size of piping to use. The machine takes a 14" pipe. Id like to keep the main trunk as large as possible and have branches coming off to each machine. Im assuming there is a maximum volume of ducting i can install for the collector but I dont really know how to calculate that.
My shop is around 30 x 50'. Collector will be in one corner. Plan is to run main trunk along ceiling about 8' in from the wall. Hoping 12" to 14". Ill have a number of machines hooked up but will have gates on each machine so i could keep the collector under 5000cfm.
Does anyone know how to figure out max volume of duct network. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
