Industrial ventilation is a method of controlling worker exposure to airborne toxic chemicals or flammable vapours by exhausting contaminated air away from the work area and replacing it with clean air through the use of fans.  So in a nutshell industrial ventilation is vital in clearing away welding fumes, solvent vapours, oil mists or dusts from a work location and exhaust these contaminants outdoors.

Control of worker exposure by ventilation fans or other means is required by WISHA occupational health regulations under the following three conditions:

1.            When levels of airborne contaminants (chemicals, dusts, vapors, fumes) are hazardous, such as above their permissible exposure limits

2.            When the lower explosive limit of flammable vapors is exceeded,

3.            When the oxygen level drops below 19.5 % in the air.

There are three types of workplace ventilation:

A.            Fans used in indoor air quality ventilation used primarily to provide fresh, heated or cooled air to buildings as part of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system

B.            Dilution ventilation which dilutes contaminated air in a whole building or room by blowing in clean air with fans and exhausting some dirty air and is usually accomplished with the use of large exhaust fans in the walls or roof of the building

C.            Local exhaust ventilation which captures contaminating emissions at or very near the source through the use of extraction fans. It is needed when employees are exposed to high toxicity chemicals, when large amounts of dusts or welding fumes are generated, or when increased heating costs from ventilation in cold weather are a concern.

Air Cleaners

Air cleaning devices on ventilation systems are sometimes necessary to capture large amounts of dust. In some instances, they may be required by air pollution regulations. The type of air cleaner depends on the type of contaminant being removed, its concentration in the air, the amount of contaminant that must be removed

Fans

Fans are the workhorses of exhaust ventilation systems. They must be the appropriate size and type to make the ventilation system work effectively. They must provide enough air pressure difference (“suction”) to capture contaminants at the source, draw them through the hood, carry them through the ducting and exhaust them outdoors.
