Lead Pot and Dross Hood

Lead pot with dross pot and hood. Keep work openings as small as practical. Doors advisable. Door for dross pan removable.
Design Criteria:

Q = 100 - 200 cfm/ft2 of opening plus volume of products of combustion.*
Duct velocity = 2,000 - 3,500 fpm for fume only.
Duct velocity = 4,200 - 4,500 fpm for transport of dust and fume.**
Entry loss = 0.50 VP
* Correct for temperature
** For horizontal runs, transport velocity is necessary.

Note: Separate flue required if combustion gases are not vented through the hoods.
