Hello all,
Just received my new cyclone (gloat!) yesterday. It has the external filter with built-in silencer and the 35 gal drum.
Before I mount it, I was wondering if maybe I should plan to put it in a closet to reduce the noise. I haven't heard one running yet. My shop (garage) is 20' x 22' with one single garage door to one side. I don't have a lot of room to build a closet, but could spare 2'-6" x 4'-6" to enclose both the cyclone/drum and the external filter together if the noise level is rather high (my garage is attached to the house). Is it desirable to enclose the cyclone AND the filter, or just the cyclone?
Onedia recommends a 2 sq.ft. louvre. Would that be enough if I built an "S" bend 1' x 2' plywood duct out of the closet? Would it matter if the duct exhausted from the top or at the bottom of the closet?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
