Could anyone compare and contrast a dust collector vs shop vacuum.
Dust collectors are designed to move a high volume of air but don't have a lot of static lift. It's designed to move a lot of dust but don't do well if you 'clog' them. Where as with a shop vac have lower flow rates but have better static lift. (~90"H2O/6.6"Hg/7.5 kPa abs). With 406"H2O/29.92"Hg/0 kPa being the theoretical maximum.
Cincinnati Fan has a nice document that shows the different wheel types and then it loses me in tables I try to block out of my memory. I'm pretty sure both types of vacuums (well all vacuums cleaner) use a variation of the centrifugal blower.
A few questions:
5a) Does it affect the ducting? For example a 1000 cfm centrifugal fan needs a large intake or needs to operate as close atmospheric as possible. Where as as a blower it needs a bit of resistance from the system. Or does a centrifugal fan just always operate best in an 'open' atmosphere?
