I just purchased a used Oneida 7.5 hp belt driven fan and cyclone system to install in the new shop. The cyclone is 28" in diameter and has a 10" inlet.
The duct layout will be an 8" pipe on one side of the shop and a 6" pipe on the other. These two lines will come together about 8' before the cyclone.
Here's the problem: This DC is a little too big for a one man shop and I'm worried about maintaining enough air velocity / volume to keep the cyclone working properly.
How many CFM are required to get a 28" cyclone going?
Any thoughts on how to monitor this?
