Concerned about worker safety and air quality in your industrial facility? Discover the power of ventilation.
Welcome to "HVAC Hacks," a comprehensive course series packed with essential tips, industry standards, and rules of thumb to simplify your HVAC design process. Explore the range of course modules tailored to meet your specific needs.
Module 5, titled "Keep Your Workers Safe and Healthy – A Guide to Industrial Ventilation," delves into the pivotal role of industrial ventilation in establishing safe and comfortable work environments for workers.
This 6-hour course equips you with the knowledge to create healthy and productive work environments. It covers dilution ventilation techniques to regulate air quality and temperature by introducing fresh air. Additionally, it discusses local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems designed to capture and remove contaminants at the source. Practical tips and handy rules of thumb are provided to make well-informed and quick decisions.
Regardless of whether you work in building design, HVAC systems, or simply looking to grasp the essentials of industrial ventilation, this course offers an invaluable opportunity to explore these critical systems and their applications. Suitable for individuals from all backgrounds, no prior knowledge of HVAC systems is required to benefit from this course.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Compare ventilation systems suitable for industrial buildings, including dilution ventilation and local exhaust ventilation (LEV).
- Identify codes and standards applicable to industrial ventilation systems.
- Calculate airflow rates for heat removal and contaminant control and in response to specific hazards.
- Explain the design requirements, applications, and operating principles of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems.
- Classify hoods and capture devices used in LEV systems and describe their design and performance factors.
- Apply duct-sizing and air-distribution principles to LEV systems, considering duct materials, design requirements, and airflow balancing.
- Compare fan and blower types, selection criteria, performance characteristics, and the effects of the fan laws on ventilation systems.
- Identify air-cleaning devices used to improve indoor air quality in ventilation systems.
- Describe ventilation requirements and safety considerations for hazardous zones, including zone classification and building pressurization.
- Explain common industrial-ventilation challenges, lessons from failures, technological advancements, and emergency procedures.
