Hello Everyone,
Need a bit of advice please, and appreciate any feedback. Build fume hood from scratch following many tutorials/videos and it worked okay before the acid fumes nuked my blower a month or so ago, see pic
When I say it worked okay for 3 months or so, I was able to refine and melt about 2 separate gold bar oz.
So I ended up purchasing a couple more blowers from a party here on the forum that work fine, and after reading and doing more research, I wanted to avoid my first mistake and decided to go with a new exhaust design, see next image:
Now I got this 2nd design idea from here on the forum somewhere from this image, and tried to implement it
the think is, there is a significant amount of forced air blowing outside of my garage exit vent the way it should be, but, there is also a small amount of air blowing inward of my fume hood as well. So I'm not getting total suction as I would expect I would, as I did when I had my first setup where the blower was straight up and down with the inline configuration.
What am I doing wrong, and what should I do to make things right and working again?
Thanks in advance.
