Geezer installing a darkroom ...

On 9/4/2009 7:27 AM Thor Lancelot Simon spake thus:

I would not try to run a darkroom with positive-pressure ventilation.
It sounds good in theory, but a wet darkroom makes a lot of dirty
air which you really want out before it can irritate your mucus
membranes and your lungs. If anything, balanced airflow, with
fans for both intake and exhaust air, blowing across the sink,
would be the best way to go.

I can see that as a potential problem, but wouldn't it depend on where
the air inlets and outlets were? If the air source were on one side of
you and an outlet placed on the other side of the wet area, then airflow
would carry the moisture and fumes away from you, no?

But in any case I can see that careful design is called for here.
