Wi | Having an exhaust fan can be handy but its a backwards approach to many issues. Start with source collection. If you are welding, cutting, etc, setup either an exhaust arm for the area or buy a portable filtration unit to suck the majority of those fumes up. Those are the bad ones you don't want to be breathing. The source collection does not loose your shop heat either. If you have an area you know you will be running tractors put in an exhaust drop or a reel there.
The next line of defense is commercial air cleaners. They slowly clean the air in the entire building, this takes out the exhaust from pulling something in and out or from a small accidental fire, etc everyday things that source collection is impractical for.
With those two things the need for exhaust fans is gone and your shop will stay warm and your lungs will stay clean. It costs more money, but so does poor health down the road. If you were in a commercial setting those would be mandatory along with a certain amount of air exchange as well. | |
