Rapid Engineering Paint Booth Exhaust Ductwork
Rapid Engineering paint booth exhaust ductwork planning should be coordinated with the air make-up unit because exhaust removal and replacement air work as one system. The duct route, fan location, roof or wall penetrations, supports, dampers and make-up air discharge all affect booth pressure and daily operation.

Exhaust Route and Fan Placement
The duct path should move exhaust from the booth to the discharge point with practical routing through the building. Fan access, support points, elbows, transitions and roof or wall exits need to be considered before fabrication or installation.
Replacement Air Coordination
Exhaust ductwork should be planned with the Rapid Engineering air make-up unit so removed air is replaced without creating unwanted drafts or pressure swings. Intake location, discharge duct and control sequence should be reviewed with the exhaust path.
Penetrations, Supports and Clearances
Duct often crosses structure, cranes, lights, sprinklers, utilities and mezzanine edges. The layout should leave access to dampers, filters, fan components and roof service points while avoiding conflicts with other trades.
Measurements Needed for Duct Planning
Useful inputs include booth location, fan location, ceiling height, roof structure, proposed discharge point, nearby obstructions, make-up air unit location and photos along the complete duct route.
Frequently asked questions
Why coordinate exhaust ductwork with a Rapid Engineering air make-up unit?
The booth exhaust removes air from the building, and the air make-up unit replaces it, so both systems affect pressure and airflow.
What field measurements are important?
Measure booth outlet locations, ceiling height, roof or wall penetration areas, obstruction locations and available service clearances.
Can duct routing affect booth performance?
Yes. Long runs, sharp transitions, restrictions and poor fan access can affect airflow and maintenance.
What trades commonly overlap with exhaust ductwork?
Mechanical, roofing, electrical, controls, structural and fire protection work may all need to be sequenced around duct installation.
