I'm ready to install my Clearvue in my basement shop. The height is 93.5" but can get in between joists. I want to build a closet to reduce noise level. My plan was to put sound proofing insulation inside the walls as well as the roof of the closet but given the height it appears I have to stick the motor out a bit in between the joist. I am thinking to build a closet about 32"x48" and as high as I could go. This closet will also be a stand to hold the cyclone, built out of 2x4 with OSB on the outside. My questions are:
- How to effectively enclose the whole thing (including the filters) and yet have the motor cooled down properly? I see some references in the threads to a baffle that directs air to the motor and then out to cool it down but couldn't find pictures/description of it.
- Where to place vents to let the air out and what size is considered good without affecting air flow too much?
- To reduce the sound coming from the vents (which don't have sound insulation) what's a good method others have used?
I have another problem which I have to sort out (the joist I wanted to place the motor in between has a heating duct run in!). So although I still have room between the motor and the duct, I suppose I better keep these two hot items separate, or is it going to be Ok?
thanks
