Hey all
I'm finally at the point where I need to position my condensate hood and venting.
The hood is 6' and has an 8" round exhaust riser on the top to which I will reduce to 6" and hook up a vortex fan.
My question is: would it be better to vent out of the room above the hood which would have the least amount of distance travelled or vent out the perpendicular wall, which would allow me to slope the ducting a bit to prevent water from forming and dripping back in.
My other concern is I heard, though have had trouble confirming that if I need a make up air vent (which I may not - our a/c people are calculating the CFM loss vs A/C) it cannot be on the same wall as the vent - I would think a makeup air vent would be best served directly above the kettles in between the kettles and the hood.
Thoughts/advice/comments appreciated.
