Hello all,
Ive been lurking around there for a while, but finally am ready to build my first baffle.
My system will consist of 5" HVAC duct feeding into a top hat Thein baffle, sitting on a 35 gallon steel garbage can -> Harbor Freight impeller housing -> HF Seperator (which has plastic bag on the bottom and a Wynn cartridge filter on top).
I would like to confirm two design matters. From reading past threads, the following seem to hold true:
1 - A side inlet to the Thein baffle performs better than a top inlet. This seems to be the consensus of past threads I have read.
2 - A neutral vane, while useful in other seperators, decreases Thein baffle performance.
If I could get some confirmation or argument against these points, I would appreciate it.
