Is your indicated 10 CFM for a liquid draw, or is that what you draw your exhaust (airborne)fumes at? If you are talking airside exhaust, what FPM do you have you're system calibrated to run? I'd be interested in learning about your specs. Thanks in advance.

The venturi works on water pressure, but it draws air off a T...Originally Posted by DWJ
A pump, pumps water up to a specific height where it is sprayed down the exhaust stack, the sprinkler is off a tee so the water continues, the pressure is high enough to supply both, to a drop down pipe that feeds into a venturi that has a T, as the water shoots through the venturi, it draws 10cfm off the T into the water, so you are effectively mixing the air with the water, then it drops down into a sump where it is suspended in water and forced into the chamber the exhaust is it, then it has to work it's way through the stacked/packed exhaust pipe only to be sprayed down by the sprinkler, when I have a chance I'll make a diagram if there is interest.

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
I'd love to see you're diagram Noble. This 10 CFM number that's come up in a couple of posts confuses me, and maybe this is where I'm making one of my calculation mistakes. To me it isn't keeping a flow of 10 CFM through the wet wash, it is more important to me to keep a velocity rate below 30 FPM regardless of CFM. Further, my testing has shown that it's advantageous to keep the velocity around 6500-8500 FPM through a venturi prior to a wet wash. I'd love to hear comparisons based on experience from anyone out there. BTW, the only cost effective recovery I could expect from my system would be lead from CRT's, and by my math it would take around 300,000 of them a year to pay off my machine(with pure lead @0.55/lb) within 4 years. Dare to dream, it's been fun think about it!
