Working on improving dust collection at the source. Added a SDD Cyclone w/outside exhaust and overarm to my TS. With the SDD no bag inflating every time I turn on the DC. Also working on improving ventilation, which is difficult in my shop.
Next steps: move the Jet scrubber to location in red and add a 12" exhaust fan (also in red) to the west window. The west window was closed off when I installed the SDD but there's enough space to add the fan. My windows are down one end and I hope moving the scrubber will pull the dead air to the new fan.
I am aware of the carbon monoxide risk with negative pressure..... I've tried to mitigate risk by sealing off the floor joist cavities and caulking pipes between the shop and storage area. I also installed a door sweep and weather strip on the shop door. I also open the north wall window 6" (fully opened in summer) whenever I run the SDD.
Should I be concerned about carbon monoxide adding the new 12" exhaust fan which will cause additional negative pressure? ....even with the window open 6"?
Do you think my next steps make sense? Any suggestions?
