Which Fan? High Heat exhaust for outside Shed/Closet

Here's the scenario...

I will be putting a CNC vac in a small shed outside along side the garage wall.
Area size is 84"w x 90"h x 72"d. Semi soundproof, more to be done.

This vacuum from what I am told can get up to 200* on a scorcher day.
Not good, what type of fan would I need, wall or roof mount? There's no
problem for intake air. No, I cannot keep the door open because it is really
loud.

Any recommendations for a fan that can handle heat? Maybe have a thermostat
to fire it up before it hits peak temps, get a circulation going.

Thanks! :thumbup:

Why does this vacuum get so darn hot?

Link to this "Vaccuum" ? Interested. Marc

Well Marc, it's essentially 4 motors. Depending on the hold needed. you can run 1, 2 3 or all 4. They generate alot of heat the longer they're run. There are also homemade DIY kind out there, mine is not.

You can get an idea herefor what I have:

This should take care of your needs. I have one in my shed with my compressor and after cooler, haven't had a problem with it keeping up with the temps.

OK... it's a thought. What about a roof mount? Otherwise it'd prolly work.
Who ever walks by might get their Toupée blown off.

Cheers!

I'm not a fan of putting holes on the roof, plus it wouldn't work well for my application. I have the fan drawing the hot air from the after cooler directly out the fable end through a louvered vent.

I also installed radiant barrier under the entire roof line and lowered the interior temps to 8° over ambient on a 102° day.

Large (the large the better) fans, spinning at low RPMs make less noise and still move a lot of air. Squirrel cages fans fan, like out of an old furnace, also work well.

I don't have a fan for you but the link above has a good description of a labyrinth noise filter. We used them on some vacuum pumps where I worked to control noise and they worked very well. Noise mainly travels in a straight line so the interlaced panels with noise canceling foam on them kills the noise but allows essentially free flow for the air.

Thinking about it... nix the idea for the roof.

I dig, but not sure if im going to gave the room. Bigger they get the deeper they'll be. Have to kick some of these ideas around.

OK, maybe can combine w/ other ideas here.



I should also mention I have a Felder AF22 DC in there too.
That is essentially separate from this vacuum. Heat wouldn't be directly
on it.
