In this case you have an option but not a cheap one.
Venting cyclone dust collector outside.
Dust collectors located indoors usually have ductwork that vents to the outdoors.
The cyclone is outside but the dc fan discharges into filter bags located back in your shop.
The air then returns to the shop through the bags.
Venting dust collector outside sign in to follow this.
Venting outside requires makeup air that should be at least twice the diameter as the outlet duct.
Almost all of the stationary machines are ducted via 4 hoses.
Sometimes though an indoor dust collector has no vent to the outside.
You will either suck it in again through the air inlet or have it ninja through an open window or breathe it in when you go outside.
The problem with exhausting outside is the loss of heated or cooled air in your shop.
They can function just like you describe.
If you move the bags outside it will pump air from the room to outside.
Totally isolating the de from the work area and venting outside is about the best thing you can do.
The dust collector takes air from in the room and blows it into the bags.
Flameless explosion vents as the nfpa defines them act as flame arrestors completely stopping flames.
If you live somewhere where you enjoy having the room heated or cooled moving the bags outside will defeat your heater or cooler.
I have a the cheap hf dust collector with a super dust deputy dumping into a 55 gallon plastic barrel.
What s important however is that venting outside directly will put the fine particule matter right next to where you are breathing.
I currently have it mounted to a thrown together cart that gets in the way and takes up too much space my shop occupies 2 3 of my 3 car.
Venting dust collector outside.
Most of the waste goes in a container underneath the cyclone and the exhaust air containing some very fine dust can be routed to a filter or directly to the outdoors.
In that case you don t need to enclose the area below since the chip collector is sealed and the air has a direct path back to the shop.
A filter really is not that expensive.
If you vent to the outside you will get the best air quality possible.
Nfpa 68 allows this as long as the ductwork is strong enough to withstand the potential damage.
The blower is powerful enough that it s going to pull replacement air from somewhere.

But you will have to plan on how that air gets replaced.
Hi all i have a good oneida cyclone collection system in the shop.
The only proviso when venting outside is make sure the vented air is not near any open doors windows etc that are open to replace the air that is being extracted otherwise the dust can be returned into the workshop.
Wrestling the canister out of the upper housing and manu.
