My Oneida V3000 3hp cyclone DC is due to arrive today. I'm planning the duct runs and have read info on how to size the branch ducts. The basic layout will be a main duct running diagonally along the ceiling, with branches coming off to the machines. The longest run will be about 35'.
The info I'm reading differs with respect to the size of the branch ducts. I don't recall if it was from the Oneida site, or Bill Pentz's write-up, but my understanding was that I should run 6" ducts to the machines (when possible), even modifying the machine if it has a 4" port. I've also read the book by Sandor Nagyszalanczy. The charts in the book indicate that I should be running 4" branch ducts to most of the machines. I understand the aspects of maintaining the appropriate CFM while having an appropriate air velocity. As of right now I've purchased 6" PVC duct only. Of course I can get 4" and 6" to 4" Y's. Can someone help to clarify the proper branch duct sizing for me. Thanks.
