Hi all,

I've searched the forum for some advice on this subject but haven't seen much...  Maybe it's here and I simply haven't set my search criteria correctly.

Here's my question: Is there anecdotal knowledge relating diameter, height and inlet/outlet sizes of the cyclone to the CFM of the air moving through it.

I'm sure there must be differences between the requirements for a shop vac powered system, a small (500 CFM) single stage dust collector and a large (1000+ CFM) collector.  I also think that the side inlet modification must be much more efficient than the original version with two tubes entering through the top.

Any thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated, as I'm hoping to start building my separator right after New Years.

Thanks,
Kevin
