Hey guys, I've got a 10hp Atlas Copco screw compressor I got last year and I love it. It's quiet and gives nice clean air. The main issue is the thing puts off a ton of heat. Currently we have a tiny 1000 square foot space and I'm hoping to get into a larger area soon. We currently have a 12" duct that goes up to the roof to get most of the exhaust out, but the thing still generates a ton of heat.
I know these things like being in hot environments, so I guess just giving it it's own little room is probably a decent solution. I don't really want to put it outside, but that might be the easiest solution and it wouldn't eat up any shop space. Just need to make sure it's in an area it won't get rained on. I'm looking for suggestions for what you guys do and what you have seen that is successful.
I'm in Dallas, Texas and currently we AC the shop and the new space will be AC'd too. The machines alone provide enough heat during the winter.
