Troubleshooting Air Leaks
Even a small leak can significantly affect the overall
separation performance of the cyclone [FIG. 13]. If
you can't audibly pinpoint where the leak might be
coming from, one of the simplest ways to check for air
leaks is with a smoke test. You can usually find smoke
test kits at any hardware store (typically in the HVAC
section). Introduce smoke around every leak point.
If you see the smoke being drawn into the system,
you’ve found an air leak that needs to be sealed.
