Figure 12. Poor air circulation. Air filter is placed
too close to the wall so air circulation short
cycles, leaving much of the room unfiltered.

Site planning is an important step to maximize the
effectiveness of the hanging air filter. Air circula-
tion must be thought out and all obstructions to
the air path considered.
Think of air circulation in terms of the circular
motion of the air before and after the air filter. The
air exiting the filter moves at a higher velocity than
the air entering it. Consequently, exhaust being
vented inside a building can have an effect on the
pattern of air circulation.
Air circulation patterns will vary depending upon
which air flow speed is used and according to
your specific shop setup.
Figure 11 shows an
example of good air circulation.
Figure 12 shows an example of poor air circu-
lation, where the air filter is placed too close to
obstructions. In this situation, the velocity of the
air is lost and circulation is diminished.
Below is a list of things to keep in mind when
selecting a spot for the air filter:
• Study your shop layout and try to determine
the best location for the hanging air filter.
Air flow that is obstructed will cause a short
cycle effect, producing unsatisfactory results.
There must be a clearance of at least 3 feet
from any obstructions in front and back of the
unit.
• Try to place the air filter in front of high dust
producers like sanders or near areas where
sanding will take place.
• Do not place the hanging air filter where
garage doors may pass closely or where it
may impede transport or movement of any
other object.
• Try to place the unit where it is easy to access
for turning it on, cleaning and maintenance.
