Importance of the Industrial Ventilation Systems

• Optimization of energy costs.
• Reduction of occupational health disease claims.
• Control of contaminants to acceptable levels.
• Control of heat and humidity for comfort.
• Prevention of fires and explosions.

What are the basic types of ventilation systems?

There are 2 types of mechanical ventilation systems used in industrial setup:

General industrial ventilation – This decreases the concentration of the air contaminants, or controls the quantity of heat that accumulates in hot industrial environments, by mixing the contaminated air with fresh, clean, uncontaminated air. This ventilation system is also known as dilution ventilation.

Local exhaust ventilation  – In this exhaust the contaminants are captured at the source or very near to the source and exhausts them outside

Benefits of Industrial Ventilation Systems

• Improved productivity resulting from a safe and secure environment for the inhabitants.
• Better performance and reduced maintenance costs for manufacturing processes, and production equipment, resulting from operating in the best environment.
• Increased shelf life and safeguarding of product quality, resulting from goods being able to be processed and stored in an ideal situation.
