INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS:
Ventilation requirements of industrial buildings are driven by the manufacturing processes and activities taking place within the facility.
Ventilation for ambient temperature control may be dictated by the number of occupants, the process, or the stored materials.
The facility may require supplemental cooling, heating, or air cleaning. Equally important to air movement is noise attenuation issues and addressing hazardous fumes or potential combustible dust situations. When evaluating all these parameters and potential solutions, we need to be aware of the building layout and construction – block, brick, metal, or wood structures.
Whatever the process, whether a furnace, an extruder, mixer/blender, a compressor, large motors, a packaging operation, or maintenance shop, they all impact the way a building is to be ventilated.
Proper ventilation keeps the air fresh and healthy indoors. Like the lungs, homes need to be able to breathe to make sure that fresh air comes in and dirty air goes out. Air indoors can build up high levels of moisture, odors, gases, dust, and other air pollutants.
