A/C Help
« on: August 15, 2012, 10:06:47 am »
I will be moving very soon to a small shop with A/C window units.I have been working out of a old dairy barn  with no A/c  and very little heat in the winter,so this move will be great.  What kind of problems will I have with the A/C units and saw dust ,and what type of filters should I use . :-\

can't help you on the filter question but keep the humidity on a good level.
A/C will make the air very dry, so your wood needs at least 60% humidity, maybe even a little more.
if it's to dry the wood might burst/crack.

You shouldn't have any problems at all.
I have had an AC unit in a window directly behind my scroll saw for 10-15 years and it just recently lost it's cooling freon and I have had to replace it with a newer, larger unit.
The only thing I can say about the filter is that you may have to vacuum it or wash it once a month or so.
Not to worry.

I just use the filter that came with it and vac it out often.  Once in awhile I blow out the fins with compressed air.
