<div>Hi Lab Awesome People,</div><div><br></div><div>To move venting forward, </div><div>Do you have permission from the landowner? Typically installation would be through a wall. Google map shows the building with a thick stone exterior. A mason would take a few hours to properly install a louver, which would be permanent. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Do you have a budget for this installation? Exceedingly rough,</div><div>$600 - Mech Eng to verify building airflow</div><div>$600 - Mason, wall penetration</div><div>$600 - HVAC installer's time</div>
<div>$250 - painted louver (not including HVAC installer markup)</div><div>$150 - snap lock pipe, reducers, elbows, screws (not including HVAC installer markup)</div><div>~$2,200 </div><div><br></div><div>Pieces required are available from HVAC suppliers in Ottawa;</div>
<div>EH Price - Louvers</div><div>Noble Trade (bought Don Park) - Piping, elbows, screws</div><div><br></div><div>For the very near term it could be vented out a window. It doesn't look as nice, however it may become the only option if the landowner does not approve cutting the stone.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I can help install the inside HVAC, and advise wall penetration but not complete it. If anyone is interested in the fan I picked up, I would love to drop it off. </div><div><div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div>

</div><div>I'm Andrew, an undergrad Mechanical Engineering student at Carleton. I'm new and haven't visited the lab yet. A few ideas and comments after a few summers of HVAC installation.</div><div><br></div>
<div>
- I picked an 8" inline fan during the Glebe garage sale. ~$350MSRP for $20 used, ~580 cubic feet per minute. Elicent AXC 200B Data sheet here: <a href="http://www.elicent.it/upload/allegatiprodotti/axc.DYN4eb29f21cc79e.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.elicent.it/upload/allegatiprodotti/axc.DYN4eb29f21cc79e.pdf</a></div>
<div>- Most fan types will work for venting the laser. Shorter duct runs, with higher radius turns are preferred.</div><div>- Use aluminum foil tape to seal the joints (surfaces need to be fairly clean), available at hardware stores. Duct tape disintegrates after a few months. Alternately a more permanent seal can be created with duct sealer, (borrow from an HVAC guy, see <a href="http://www.ductmate.com/product.aspx?id=23" target="_blank">http://www.ductmate.com/product.aspx?id=23</a>).<br clear="all">
<div><div><br></div><div>I can help build a hood if the laser doesn't have a build in air collection system.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Andrew Post</div><div>Mechanical Engineering Student</div><div>
