OIL FURNACE INTAKE HELP

Donny Cloak, I.m trying to hit the nail on the head, 64 65 Hemi Sat with a custom paint job..
 
Dont know about that car,i remember him doing work on my step fathers son inlaws 340 4 spd 69 cuda that he raced at cayuga n donny had those aa altered with the hemis in them to race
 
think you covered most bases except PI on the queensway which was a few year later and woods had moved up near the airport!
i grenaded my 383 right in front of cloaks shop making a pass over the Bridge. His shop was strategically placed down from the light before the bridge I would be topping out second gear right there.
Red Cabin beside cloaks, Rod's Hangout [harveys on the queensway] and Golden Burger [across from apache}

The Red Cabin was a real good hangout for fast times, cars ,women,n what ever clocker was dealing,he knew his mopars n was into a lot of ****,i think he did some time in crowbar hotel for a while.Did you know a John Larrett he owned the 69 cuda,this would of been the late 70 to 83,he also owned a 68 black R/T charger 4 spd n traded it to do the tube work on the cuda
 
I don't remember many people with mopar's or ford's! Chev guys had so much aftermarket stuff readily available, much easier to just bolt on h.p.
the girls liked my big bench seat in the RR as long as they didn't get there kneecaps crushed while shifting!
 
Ok, now that we hyjacked Xmans thread LOL, , His main concern is too much dust, and no make up air. If you plug up the filter in a matter of 8 hrs or so, fabricate a new return air plenum to accept more filters, eg, if you have a 20x25x1 filter, doubling that up would be a start, or adding a prefilter to the existing system. Bringing in 100 percent fresh air thru your return to the shop is what a make up air does, except, out door temp and the volume of air required will determine the BTU. Here in Ontario, we see -25 to -30 c, so in essence, we need to see a 55 to 65 TR, temperature rise, for painting, then another,29 to 30c on top of that for baking. The BTU rating for most of the Make up air systems for a paint booth are 1 million BTU, a little math here, most homes are 100,000 btu, so I would need 10 home furnaces to produce a comfortable work area..
 
My furnace has it's 20 x 20 or what not inside, I also have filters taped over the side intake and another sitting on top of my ceiling sucker intake. Easy to change on the fly, I do the same thing in our house. Cheap filters over all the floor/wall returns and the good one at the furnace..
 
not only does the filter get filled up but when i run the exhaust fan when im painting & the the furnace runs it sucks the air from the furnace. It gets a real strong oil smell, the furnace smokes then shuts off
 
Combustion air, the air required for the process of combustion, combustion air for a standard or mid efficiency furnace comes from inside the building, high eff furnaces, infrared tube heaters ans sealed combustion heaters take combustion air from outside. Two different animals all together. So,if you have a standard eff oil furnace in you building, you need to think outside the box , xman, you said your furnace was in a separate room than you shop, if so, is there a window in that room, if not, could you install one. If you kept the furnace room closed, sealed from the shop, opened the window in the furnace room you could feed that furnace clean combustion air. Understand where I'm going with this?

I have to prime a hood this afternoon, my roll up door will be open 10 feet x 1 foot, for combustion air, I may even drag a salamander down from the barn, and run it inside the shop, to keep my shop temp over 21c.
 
hijack, i guess we did. shouldn't the airflow be reduced to nil painting when your not in a designed booth to allow the overspray to drop and not spread throughout the rest of the shop and having an airhandler moving dust around just doesn't sound right to me. I'd just shut the furnace down until the paint has hit the floor.

yep i do the room is where the walk in door is. Its about double the size of the furnace. I was thinking of putting a hole in the wall & ducting air from outside along with a filter.

Absolutely, before I had a booth, same thing, turn everything off and start spraying, problem is, if I was doing acrylic urethane, by the time I was applying the third and final coat, there was so much material in the air,it reduces my ability to see. However, if you are a hobbyist, and might paint one car a year, you can pick a warm weather time to paint, and if temp is ok, two fans installed in the shop area, both the same size and power, filter air being brought in, and filter air out. Filter out to keep from damaging any vehicles parked close by.

In my case, my booth was set up as a downdraft, but is being used as a side draft, as I have not gotten around to cutting a trench in my floor. So all the booth air comes in from on top, warmest air in the building, so even yesterday afternoon, had to be about 4 c, booth temp was close to 20 c

xman, post a small drawing of shop with location of furnace.
