Exhaust fan for workshop

[RolandJ]

I want to install some sort of exhaust fan in my shop. When I start either my truck or backhoe or use the torch I am left working in a smoke haze. dont need one that sucks tools off the floor or removes all the heat. :-laf But one or two even that will remove it. Anyone ever installed something like this?

I installed a blower out of an old furnace in the wall of my paint/sandblast room. It is positive pressure ventilation technique we use in the fire service. It blows into the room and out the window. I have used it to vent out exhaust out of my work shop. It does work well.

I used a Attic Fan with Louvers that close when the Fan is off. Got it from Lowes. I weld both Steal and Aluminum in my 30' X 36' Shop Ceiling Height is 18 foot. Gotta open a window and it does suck the heat out of it but it does clear the air.

I got a 1/2 horse 40 inch fan out of a commercial chicken grow house. I put it in the upper gable end of my 40x60 shop blowing out. Open the bay doors and you get a good breeze and the thing was cheap. ( free)

Look at your local lumber yard/builders supply, they have gable and roof vents in various sizes. bg
