This is an older DC that I just picked up. It is a two Hp unit, no data on the specs about CFM etc. In fact the impeller is only 10" in diameter, and replacement impellers from the manufacturer are 11 5/8" !?
It is in excellent condition, but I have a few questions....

You see that the front view into the collector opening, the air ramp seems to be in the way, or at least, obstructing the air flow. Is this "normal" looking ?

A thought that I had, is the addition of a neutral vane to direct the air flow downward, aligning the incoming air with the ramp. Then at the end of the ramp would be the Thien separator.

Any thoughts ??
