Thank you all for your feedback, love the engagement! I've ordered an anemometer and will be checking to see if the closet is in fact TOO tight, which would reduce the power of the suction. If it is, I will definitely figure out some kind of venting solution! Stay tuned!

@FlorisvanMoorselaar Год назад

Place your bets here ladies and gentlemen! 👍 = No reduced suction power 👎 = Reduced suction power

@thomasprovencher4611 Год назад

If you find that you need an "exhaust" vent, I'd recommend placing it higher up in your cabinet to encourage the exhaust air to rush past the motor on its way out so it can be cooled. Those motors need lots of fresh air.

@linyingyen Год назад

you don't need any equipment to measure static pressure on your blower, just use a tube and a bucket of water, measure how many inches the blower sucks the water up the tube vertically and that's your static pressure in Inches of Water Column (inch WC).

@mansharker8 Год назад

A vent to circulate air from the outside that's covered from the rain might solve the exhaust air needs without introducing more noise.

@patschoen1202 6 месяцев назад

A make up air pipe to outside air will solve any issue, just like when they make a tiny utility closet with all the btus needed, a couple fresh air pipes will make life easy, without needing to sacrifice on noise reduction, in fact, you would be able to put an exterior rated door, with gaskets and all, and seal it the rest of the way

@EvanDunville Год назад

First of all thats an awesome setup. A few others commented about air rectriction with the closet so well sealed. You may want to test that using a anemometer and the door opend vs closed.

@craftedworkshop Год назад

Planning to do just that, I've got an anemometer on order! Thanks!

@UKCG_2 Год назад

Great job quieting down your dust collector. That said, I think you’ve created a different problem. In an ideal world, the dust collector sucks in lots of air (and dust) and then expels the air through your large pleated filter. By sealing the dust collector in a separate “sealed room”, however, there’s nowhere for that air to go. So, assuming you didn’t install ducting to either another room or the outside, the air can only escape under the door or any cracks in your walls, greatly reducing your dust collector’s ability to draw in air/dust. As an analogy, think what would happen if you plugged your car’s exhaust tailpipe...the engine wouldn’t run. One way to check to see if I’m right is to use an anemometer at one of your blast gates with the door open and then with it closed to see the difference. If you see a big dropoff, you can either cut a vent in the door or add ducting to return the air to the room.

@n8wrl Год назад

I had the same question because I caused a similar problem. In my case, my shop was in a basement and I mounted the DC upstairs. The suction was so strong without the "return air" returning to the shop that it sucked the garage door in so far I thought it was going to pull off of its tracks. I tried to "fix" it by cutting some holes in the floor but that just wasn't enough. I ended up relocating the DC in the basement.

@craftedworkshop Год назад

I've ordered an anemometer and will definitely test it out!

@whitexeno Год назад

Is there enough of a gap for all the air the dust collector needs to move with it boxed in that room?

@MSRWorkshop Год назад

That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the video. What about adding some HVAC filter enclosures at the top of the closet? It might make it a little louder, but then you’d have a much needed air. Otherwise that closet will be a giant vacuum.

@wkm122 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing - could add an exhaust duct made of flexible pipe for a dozen feet or so, the flexible duct should help attenuate sound a good amount

@rbyt2010 Год назад

Needs a noise baffle box on a reasonably-sized air return, and a sweep of some sort on the bottom of the door for noise

@csimet Год назад

My concern exactly. I was going to box my collector in as well and thought that would kill its ability to move air properly, deciding to leave it in an open area in my shop. It is located on the farthest wall I could and since you should be wearing hearing protection while using power tools, the extra noise from it being left in the open was not a huge increase in overall noise. For me anyway. He needs to test airflow with and without that door open.... see if it causes any restrictions. My bet is it does with how well sealed the mini room is and only a small opening along the door bottom.

@chashint1 Год назад

I would calculate this before doing it, but the eyeball says cutting about 2" (maybe less) off the bottom of the door would be adequate to vent the space. The gap being at the floor will help keep the noise in check, plus your saw is a lot farther away from the DC in this shop. Yeah, I know, I am another armchair quarterback.

@thomasemberson8021 Год назад

Cool shop so far. You will likely need to put the filters on the outside of the closet to allow air to flow through the closet.

@tullyal Год назад

I was just wondering the same thing - putting the air intake into a closet that you want to seal up for sound transfer does not make sense. Really nice to see the shop coming together.

@UKCG_2 Год назад

In an ideal world, the dust collector is sucking in lots of air (and dust) and then expelling the air through the large pleated filter. The problem is that the air has to go someplace. Assuming there’s no ducting to either another room or outside, the air can only escape under the door or any cracks in the walls. Restricting the airflow in this way, in turn, will likely lower the collector’s ability to draw in air/dust, reducing its efficiency.

Question on the dust collector... return air? I made an elaborate system to reduce the sound of mine but the big issue I came across was the return air system, Making it so I would not dump all my conditioned air outside... I placed a 2100 cfm fan followed by an elaborate baffle maze as to return the air w/o returning the sound with it... I did not see any such return on your set up... did you dump the air outside? I look forward to hearing how your set up works over time...

@1superricko Год назад

Why are the exhaust filters inside the closet? How does the air get back into the room? I see a gap under the door, is that the only place? I would move the exhaust filters into the workshop and fully seal the closet.

@bs838 Год назад

The filters are where most of the noise comes from on a dust collector, so moving that part outside would defeat the purpose. However, I agree he needs more air flow back into the shop. The gap at the bottom of the door isn't really enough and will cause heat buildup as well as decreased life and efficiency of the dust collector. The best way is to make a tortuous but unobstructed path for the air to return back to the shop...I would have designed the closet a little bigger and made some baffles and noise absorbing foam panels to reduce the sound, while allowing for a larger path for air/heat return. Or the best case is just put the whole thing outside...I guess he couldn't do that due to noise ordinances?

@mikeinmaryland Год назад

The solid door is key. That said if you measure the hinge dimensions you could get a KD (knock down) metal frame. We have a company Precision Doors up here. They also sell vents that you can cut into those doors. As for the tight squeeze, ask Jaime to weld the casters under the drum. Shop is looking really nice.

When you buy a dust collector with integrated vibrator on the filters it get's activated for like 10 seconds every time you turn of the dust collection.

@MrTresto Год назад

For venting back without having awful noise, the solution has already been found and is applied in an object hat most of us own : a car. Specifically, a part of the car, the exhaust muffler. Make a box that has some bounces for the sound to be quiet. The resonator will need to be the right size to cancel out the right frequencies. I'm gonna make one for myself soon, and will ask my rocket scientist / air flux doctor brother-in-law to do the calculations for me, which is pretty lucky

@LilYeshua Год назад

Similar filters are used in dust collectors at concrete plants. Our old previous bag house had cloth filter socks with the vibrators attached to the metal racks the bags hung off of. The vibrators were set to turn on whenever the blower would cycle off.

I built to chases on my sound enclosure closet. Each is 16 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. One has an opening near the floor and the other has an opening near the ceiling. Each terminates in 12x12 vent on the exterior in opposing position. Each chase provides about 12 feet of linear distance to help dampen the sound. You know you have inadequate exit path when you can't close the door with the ClearVue running.

@daylen577 Год назад

If you want to keep your hardware together while moving but don't have zip-loc bags (and it's late at night, day before moving, just wrapping up the final things, you know that moment if you've ever moved), use painter's tape! The paper stuff rips very easily and isn't super sticky, but sticks well enough to itself and is relatively durable. If you make a little pouch of hardware on an inside corner somewhere where it's unlikely to get bumped it's going to be very secure, and after moving you just rip off the painter's tape and it leaves no marks or sticky residue.

Sound transmission can be reduced by reducing vibrations too. For example, use proper rubber wheels on the drum. Use rubber matt between the drum-machine and wall. Use rubber-feet on the filter shaker etc.

@spyrule 4 месяца назад

If you need to add venting for air intake for the vacuum, you can do baffled intake through one of the drywall cavities (air vent in at bottom, put some offset wood up through one cavity, and put the other vent at the top of the wall. Helps keep the noice from coming out that way. Then dont forget to put a door seal at the bottom. Thats a huge noise source. Lastly if you can, buy LMV (Loaded mass vinyl) sheets, and line the inside of the room, up around the motor. It will cut down on the high-pitch noises from the motor itself. Final option, put the intake filters outside the room, and fully seal that room entirely... just a thought. Great setup otherwise.

Um, yeah. Cool closet, and great sound difference, but that air HAS to go somewhere as it leaves the filters. I might suggest an irrigation pipe the same size as your largest pipe coming from the closet. You could put a few dozen holes in the length as you like so that the air can escape all along the pipe and not create an air blower at the end of the pipe. Closing that DC in means you have a MONSTER restriction in the flow. If I haven't convinced you, have a couple bean burritos and wear some latex pants for the rest of the day.

Where does all the exhaust air go without creating an airlock? What about the temperature level in this cabin? I could imagine that the suction power drops significantly. A tip that might sound a bit crazy: transform your door into a soundproofing and ventilation element that also functions as a door! Make it 15+ inches thick and hollow - kind of like a box with door hinges. Form a "zig zag" channel inside from top to bottom with insulating material (e.g. rock wool). Allow the exhaust air to flow into the element on the inside on the left (near the filters) and out again on the right. This will significantly improve the soundproofing and prevent possible heat and performance problems. I used this principle in an even more consistently insulated solution and achieved a (measured with the iPhone ;-) reduction of 30 dB...

@deerfootnz 4 месяца назад

Sound does not work as you have stated. And it usnt as simple. Our hearing also works as a non linear scale. For this reason a 10dB decrease is usually taken as a halving of percieved loudness. Sound power level actually halves in 3dB, while sound pressure level halves in 6dB. In addition we perceive different frequencies to increase or decrease at different rates: we are not as sensitive to very high or very low frequencies at low volume.

@gpzjeffrey7974 Год назад

It would be better for the fan motor if the fan started BEFORE the blast gates open. Restricting the amount of air the fan moves and thus performs work on limits the starting current draw. Starting current is generally 4 - 6 times greater than running current. That's also why you want to limit the number of motor starts per hour, or you'll overheat the motor. The only catch would be if the blast gates have enough power to overcome the added friction to slide open with a vacuum on them. And lastly, as has been said, your GOESINTA has to equal your GOESOUTTA in the dust collector closet, else that will be the limiting choke point in the whole system. It would be cool (and quieter) if you could figure out how to duct the GOESOUTTA to the outside of the shop.

I love my dust collection system, and am more than happy with it's cost to performance ratio.

My senior design project was to create a filter shaker. Way worse performance then wacky wavy inflatable air lines.

Did the same thing in my old shop. I put a small vent on mine. Didn't really increase the sound. I was worried about back pressure. Any issues? My new shop, I vented outside.

should add sound proofing to the door

small correction: 10dB reduction -> half the perceived loudness. 14dB is closer to one-third.

I'm just here to query along with so many... How are you dealing with air choking with your collection in a mostly sealed closet? Air in and air out... Hard to breathe inside a bag.

Doesn’t this build significant positive pressure inside the closet? That would reduce the dust collection output a lot. Maybe I missed it. If vent to the outside at this point.

Seeing a lot of comments but also concern about where your air pump will be discharging to…

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

6:40 i'd reccomend using soap water instead of alcohol because alcohol usually makes the silicone stay sticky wich doesn't happen when using soap water

@tomr3422 Год назад

and with alcohol the silicon can get stuck in your teath when you drink the left overs.
