Exhaust Duct - Christie CP2000-SB Setup Manual

Section 3: Installation & Setup

3.2.1 Exhaust Duct

Warm exhaust air from the CP2000-SB must vent to outside of the building.
Connect pre-installed outside-venting ductwork via 8" inside diameter fireproof
ducting material attached to the projector's top exit port. Confirm that 1) there are
no obstructions or kinks within the ducting, 2) all air intake areas of the CP2000-
SB are clear and exposed, and 3) the vane switch at the exit duct is moving freely.
The pre-installed outside-venting duct should be rigid for a 10" length at the
projector and must also include a heat extractor/blower that maintains at least 450
to 600 CFM when measured at the projector exhaust opening, depending on the
lamp. See Table 3.1.

CALCULATE CFM IN 8" DUCT:
Use an air flow meter to measure the ft/min or ft/sec at the rigid end of the duct that will connect to the
projector (measure right at the end). Then multiply the reading by the cross-sectional area of the 8" duct to
calculate the cubic feet/min airflow. The formula is: Measured linear ft/min x 0.34 = CFM.
Depending on the lamp, calculations should show 450 or 600 CFM airflow (see
Table 3.1) in the 8" exhaust duct. Add extractors/boosters as needed for your site, as
the vane switch (see right) will prevent the projector from operating if the airflow is
inadequate. Do not mount extractor on the projector.
NOTE: If the duct becomes significantly blocked—or if a fan fails—the projector
should trigger an alarm before becoming overheated or unsafe. Regardless, check
airflow regularly as described in
