Engine-Driven Fume Removal

admin

Came across this picture really interested in getting something like this to vent out fumes. Its hard to find any type of ducting that can securely mount/clamp over the exhaust thats the right diameter and can withstand the exhaust temperatures. Can somebody point me in the right direction of where I could buy something like what is pictured. Thanks

Reply:Whatever you end up deciding, you ought to read the thread below to make sure you fully understand all the details of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.If the area you plan to station the welder in will be "closed in", you will also need to furnish some type of make up air source that replenishes the air to the work site where the welder will be running. Ideally the make up air should be sourced from a point/area that is far away from the point/area where the exhaust will finally be discharged to.  ANY leakage of exhaust from your added piping set up back into the work area will defeat the intent of what you are trying to do.  Unless you can have the system sealed to almost perfection, and also have a make up air source, you are creating a false sense of safety.http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...t-outside-shopLast edited by walkerweld; 01-06-2014 at 12:32 PM.

Reply:Hence my reason for stating it the way I did.  Glad you caught it and pointed it out for the benefit of anyone interested.Good reason for using a meter when adjusting the fuel mixer.  I don't have one but a buddy of mine does.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
