Background
The 12" Axial Ventilation ceiling fan of questionable pedigree is in a sheet metal and fiberboard enclosure of questionable pedigree.
In the time when droplets of water fall from the sky, the fan enclosure leaks water into the interior of the makerspace. Nobody knows why.
The ceiling fan is placed on a ceiling perforation that was made before the industrial unit was rented by the makerspace. The perforation was originally for an 18" turbine ventilator.
Underneath the ceiling perforation, a plenum box of similarly questionable pedigree was constructed out of paper-backed foam board found in the dumpster.
Current Usage
Please plug in the ceiling fan when the laser cutter is running.
Future Usage
The ceiling fan is planned to also vent from the 3d printers when the ABS fume extraction apparati are installed. Please wait warmly.
On 2021-02-02, it was decided that the fan should be upgraded to a variable speed, VFD controlled, 3-phase motor. This is to enable the fan to be operated at a slower speed for low-flow applications.
