Clearvue CV1800 Noise Reduction

This was my attempt to reducing the noise on the Clearvue CV-1800 cyclone in my wood shop. The shop itself had no noise absorbing panels on the ceiling or walls and I may add some in time but for right now the reduction obtained from the enclosure is enough with hearing protection. The cyclone had a measured noise level of 89-90 decibels before installation of the enclosure and 80-81 after enclosure. 83 decibels with the door open approximately four inches.
The biggest thing to note is that the cyclone needs a lot more open space in the wall than I first recognized or else the closet will build up internal pressure thus creating back pressure on the unit. This could be why some people have reported issues with the motor overheating. On a positive note the baffle system in the top did work as planned so I intend to install two more. If I was building it over again this is what I probable would do.
1) Build enclosure large enough for some access around cyclone.
2) Cover existing walls and ceiling if possible with Owens-Corning Pure Safety High performance insulation. Found at Home Depot.
3) Build enclosure walls with 2x6’s and install double layer of Pure Safety Insulation.
If you go on amazon you can buy foam egg crate style panels to four inches thick. I am planning to put some small areas an inch thick above the machines to dampen the echo in the shop.
