Ducting - Ultratec Eclipse G3000 Operator's Manual

Ducting

If ducting is required the ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator output requires a 10" flexible
duct, and can be ducted up to 50 feet horizontally. The ducting is available insulated
or non-insulated and can be purchased though an industrial supply company or from
Ultratec Special Effects.
The ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator may also be ducted vertically up to 20 feet to
produce a waterfall or cascade effect. When ducting fog vertically, the remaining fog
in the duct must not be allowed to backflow into the ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator.
When this happens repeatedly the glycol in the fog may condensate on the inside of the G3000,
damaging the electronic components. See further in this manual for suggested solutions and ducting
examples.
TECH TIP: If dividing the output to more than one location while ducting, make sure the sum of all cross
sectional areas of the final duct sizes are equivalent or greater than the cross sectional area of the
ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator 10" outlet. Doing this will prevent any backpressure being created by the
ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator. The formula for cross sectional area: 0.78539 x (diameter squared)
Example:
The ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator outlet has a diameter of 10":
0.78539 x 100= 78.5" square inches is the area of the ECLIPSE Low Fog Generator outlet.
If you require 3 locations to duct the effect to, then the cross sectional area of the 3 ducts must be greater
than 78.5" square inches.
For this example, we will try a 6" diameter duct: 0.78539 x 36=28
If we multiply the cross sectional area of the 6" duct by 3 duct outlets : 28 x 3= 84". 84 is greater than
78.5 so the 6" ducting split into 3 ducts is acceptable. Some form of dampening may have to be used to
balance the output of different sized outputs.
