The closer you locate air filtration to the source of dust, the quicker yo will clog the filter because you will get some dust particles that are larger and would soon fall. However, that tradeoff might make sense if you want to limit how much dust falls on things. For example, if you share a garage with a car, if you put the air filter close to your tools the car will not get as dusty as quickly as it would if the tools were further from the air filter. It is my understanding that it still takes the same amount of time for it to clean all the air in the space.
