This is a design package to assist you to size and cost your own fume extraction system. It provides a proprietary design for fume extraction. For specific systems, a specific detailed design should be carried out by a design-the.com (or other recognised) professional.

The program is presented in a similar way to our Dust Extraction System software, with a main input window that links to input sub-windows, and an output window.

This is the main input window that will be displayed when the program is first loaded. It consists of buttons that open sub-windows where the parameters of the system can be entered. Once all of the parameters have been specified, click the Calculate Design button in order to proceed to the main output window. The Load and Save buttons can be used at any time to save the current design or load a previous design.

This is the main output window that will be displayed when the Calculate Design button is pressed. The large area at the top contains a diagram of the system. This diagramonly shows one extraction point at a time. Selecting a different extraction point from the Extraction Points/Take-Offs list will show that particular extraction point. The Fan Sizing Parameters section contains the fan sizing values calculated from the design you entered. The buttons at the bottom of the window allow access to detailed views of parts and to the budget cost estimate.
