What is the difference between dust collection system design and installation?

Dust collection system design focuses on planning how the system should function, including airflow calculations, equipment selection and duct layout. Installation is the execution phase, where that design is physically built, integrated and brought to life within the facility. Even the best design can fail if installation is not done correctly, as improper ductwork, sealing or system integration can impact performance. Both phases are critical, but installation is where system performance is ultimately realized.
