Forced ventilation

Forced ventilation. Forced ventilation provides only a clean air supply to an area; the removal of air from the space occurs primarily through leakage in the surrounding structures and throughopen doors owing to the generation of excess pressure.
Exhaust ventilation. Exhaust ventilation is designed to remove air from a ventilated area and to create a negative pressure within it so that outside air and air from adjoining spaces can enterthe area through doors and leaks in enclosures.
Suction-and-exhaust ventilation. Suction-and-exhaust ventilation provides simultaneous air supply and systematic air removal in an area; with this method, a positive or negative pressure canexist in the area depending on the ratio between the quantities of air being supplied and exhausted. The positive and negative air pressures in adjoining spaces prevent the infiltration ofcontaminated air from one space to another (for example, from a smoking room to a lobby, from a kitchen to a dining room, or from a galvanizing section to an assembly shop). For this methodto be effective, it is necessary that the positive or negative pressure in the ventilated spaces be created and maintained by a continuous, intense air exchange. The indicator of the rate of airexchange, which can take place without ventilating equipment (through enclosure leaks or under the influence of wind or a difference between inside and outside air temperatures), is thefrequency of air exchange—that is, the ratio of the volume of air entering or leaving over a period of 1 hour to the volume of the air space.
General-exchange ventilation. With general-exchange ventilation, which is used in all residential and public buildings, noxious substances released in an air space are diluted to permissibleconcentrations by supplying clean air to the area; excess heat and moisture are dissipated by the air supply, which in this case must be of lower temperature and humidity.
Local forced ventilation. Local forced ventilation creates the necessary conditions for the air environment in confined areas of industrial installations by means of spot cooling units, air oases,and such. With local exhaust ventilation, noxious impurities are collected and removed from their points of origin by means of local exhaust systems such as laboratory fume hoods, furnacehoods, or side-slot hood exhausts. Processing equipment giving off noxious substances is equipped with built-in local exhaust units and housings, which are an integral part of the unit.
Natural ventilation. With natural ventilation, air enters and leaves an area owing to temperature differences (and, consequently, density differences between outside and inside air) and windaction. Nonsystematic natural ventilation occurs by infiltration and exfiltration of air through leaks in building enclosures, windows, doors, and such, and systematic natural ventilation isaccomplished by supplying and exhausting air circulated through air ducts and adjustable vent openings in walls, windows, and skylights.
Mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation (Figure 1) is performed primarily by electrically driven fans or blowers. In the supply systems, outside air is prepared by equipment that is usuallylocated in an air-supply chamber near the intake. The air from the chamber is distributed through ducts to the areas to be ventilated and is then supplied to the spaces through louvers,perforated ceilings, decorative grilles, and other types of supply ventilation outlets. In general-exchange ventilation, air is removed through a network of ducts with grilles into an exhaust ductsystem, and in local ventilation it is removed through local exhausts, which are usually connected to separate exhaust systems. Air that is contaminated by particularly toxic substances or localexhausts must be cleaned. Air-cleaning equipment, such as dust collectors or filters, is installed for this purpose directly before the discharge of the contaminated air into the atmosphere.Equipment for exhaust ventilating systems is located in exhaust chambers; exposed installations are possible at industrial plants under favorable climatic conditions. Ventilating equipment maybe installed directly in the area to be ventilated if the noise from the ventilating equipment does not significantly interfere with the work to be performed in a shop, warehouse, or other industrialarea. Forced, heating, and exhaust ventilating units mounted on floors, columns, or walls are also used in these instances.

Ventilation

Ventilation
The supplying of air motion in a space by circulation or by moving air through the space. Ventilation may be produced by any combination of natural or mechanical supply and exhaust. Suchsystems may include partial treatment such as heating, humidity control, filtering or purification, and, in some cases, evaporative cooling. More complete treatment of the air is generally calledair conditioning. See Air conditioning
Natural ventilation may be provided by wind force, convection, or a combination of the two. Although largely supplanted by mechanical ventilation and air conditioning, natural ventilation still iswidely used in homes, schools, and commercial and industrial buildings.
Mechanical supply ventilation may be of the central type consisting of a central fan system with distributing ducts serving a large space or a number of spaces, or of the unitary type with little orno ductwork, serving a single space or a portion of large space. Outside air connections are generally provided for all ducted systems. Outside air is needed in controlled quantities to removeodors and to replace air exhausted from the various building spaces and equipment.
Exhaust ventilation is required to remove odors, fumes, dust, and heat from an enclosed occupied space. Such exhaust may be of the natural variety or may be mechanical by means of roof orwall exhaust fans or mechanical exhaust systems. The mechanical systems may have minimal ductwork or none at all, or may be provided with extensive ductwork which is used to collectlocalized hot air, gases, fumes, or dust from process operations. Where it is possible to do so, the process operations are enclosed or hooded to provide maximum collection efficiency with theminimum requirement of exhaust air.

ventilation,

ventilation, process of supplying fresh air to an enclosed space and removing from it air contaminated by odors, gases, or smoke.
Proper ventilation requires also that there be a movement or circulation of the air within the space and that the temperature and humidity be maintained within a range that allows adequateevaporation of perspiration from the skin. It was formerly believed that the discomfort, headache, and lethargy commonly associated with poor ventilation were caused entirely by the increase inthe amount of carbon dioxide and the decrease in the oxygen content of the air. There is evidence to show, however, that the deleterious effects result largely from interference with the heat-regulating mechanism of the body. Lack of air currents and the increase in relative humidity and temperature (especially noticeable in crowded, poorly ventilated places) prevent normalevaporation of perspiration and loss of heat from the surface of the skin.
Natural ventilation depends on winds outside and convection currents inside a building. Winds raise air pressure slightly on the windward side of a building and lower it slightly on the lee side.The pressure difference promotes circulation into the building on the windward side and out of it on the lee side. Convection currents are caused by the sinking of colder and therefore heavierair, which displaces the warmer air. A building may have a roof ventilator to allow the rising warm air to escape. If there is an opening to the outside at the bottom of the building, fresh, cool airwill be drawn in.
A simple roof ventilator is essentially an opening in the roof with a cover to keep out rain and to prevent winds from interfering with its functioning. Natural convection is an appreciable aid toventilation in a large building only if it contains sources of large amounts of heat. A further useful adjunct is a fan in the roof ventilator. The addition of distribution ducts to the fan and a systemfor forcing air into the building provides greater efficiency. Outlets are designed to attain maximum mixing of air and to move large amounts of air at low velocity so that temperature layers areeliminated. Factories have special suction hoods and enclosures to draw away localized dust, fumes, and heat. Incoming air may be cleaned of dust by filters or electrostatic precipitators.
Deep mines, underwater tunnels, and other subterranean and submarine environments require elaborate mechanically operated systems for maintaining the air supply in a healthful condition.The lives of those working in, or traveling through, such areas depend upon a constant supply of fresh air; not only must the systems used be highly efficient, but there should be provision foremergencies in case of failure of the apparatus in operation. An outgrowth of studies of problems of ventilation is the development of methods of air conditioning. Such systems, unlike ordinarymethods of ventilation, are independent of outdoor atmospheric conditions and can, therefore, maintain the indoor atmosphere at the most healthful temperature and humidity and can free theair of dust and other undesirable materials. They accomplish this, however, at a considerable cost in energy.

Ventilation

Ventilation 
the controlled exchange of air in an area; also, the equipment and installations creating such an exchange. Ventilation is designed to provide the necessary purity, temperature, humidity, andcirculation of air. These requirements are determined by health standards: the presence of noxious substances in the air (gases, vapors, or dust) is restricted to permissible concentrations(those which are harmless to human health); and the temperature, humidity, and circulation of the air are determined in relation to the conditions required for optimum human comfort. For manyindustrial areas (shops for the assembly of precision instruments, radio-electronics equipment, and so on), air purity, temperature, and humidity are also determined by the special requirementsof the technological processes involved. In a number of cases (museum storage facilities, archives, or warehouses) the air temperature and humidity in an area must correspond to theconditions required for the best preservation of objects and materials, equipment, or construction components contained in it.
In industrial areas, the principal source of emission of noxious substances, heat, and moisture is the technological process taking place within the area. In residential dwellings, these emissionsoccur primarily in lavatories and kitchens, especially during the use of gas ranges. The activity of the human organism is also accompanied by the emission of noxious substances (carbondioxide), odors, heat, and moisture. The preparation of food, bathing, and the washing of dishes and clothing raise the temperature and humidity of room air and increase its dust content andbacterial contamination (particularly if sick persons are present). All of these substances may be removed by means of ventilation. In cases of pollution of the air basin (for example, by exhaustfumes from automobile traffic or industrial discharges), noxious substances may enter room areas with the outside air.
Solar radiation (chiefly through windows) and artificial lighting are sources of additional heat accumulation. The reduction of emissions of noxious substances and of excess heat and moisture isan important factor in improving the condition of the air in industrial environments, and it also creates more favorable conditions for the operation of ventilation. Nontoxic or low-toxicity materialsare used for these purposes in industrial processes, production equipment and distribution supply lines are hermetically sealed, and surfaces that give off heat are covered with thermalinsulation. The reduction of excess heat is achieved by the use of window-mounted sun protection devices, heat-absorbing glass, the use of forced heat-dissipation lamps for lighting, and othermethods. Current health standards in the USSR specify that the air of living spaces must be as follows (during the winter season): temperature, 18°–22° C; relative humidity, 40-60 percent;circulation, 0.1-0.2 m/sec; and maximum C02 content, 0.1 percent. Noxious gas contaminants are not permitted in the air.
A distinction is made between forced, exhaust, suction-and-exhaust, general-exchange, local, natural, and mechanical types of ventilation.

Ventilation Systems: Your Legal Duties

Ventilation Systems: Your Legal Duties

  • The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 state that: Where ventilation is provided by mechanical means the regulations (Regulation 5) require those mechanical ventilation systems to be maintained (including cleaned as appropriate) in efficient working order.
  • Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 imposes a duty on every employer to conduct a ventilation hygiene assessment to determine the risk associated with ventilation systems and air quality.
  • The Workplace Regulations are accompanied by an Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) which gives guidance on how compliance with the regulations can be achieved. ACoP 33States that “Mechanical ventilation systems should be regularly and properly cleaned, tested and maintained to ensure that they are kept free from anything which may contaminate the air.”

What is Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)?

What is Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)?

LEV is an engineering control system to reduce exposures to airborne contaminants such as dust, mist, fume, vapour or gas in a workplace. Most systems, but not all, have the following:
  • Hood: This is where the contaminant cloud enters the LEV.
  • Ducting: This conducts air and the contaminant from the hood to the discharge point.
  • Air cleaner or arrestor: This filters or cleans the extracted air. Not all systems need air cleaning.
  • Air mover: The ‘engine’ that powers the extraction system, usually a fan.
  • Discharge: This releases the extracted air to a safe place.

Clean inside basement registers

2. Clean inside basement registers. Often duct work will include registers installed throughout the system to distribute air to the basement. If you remove these registers, you'll gain even further access to the main trunk line.

Clean return air registers.

6. Clean return air registers. Sweep out your return air registers. These will likely be fastened with a screw and require your tool to remove them. Again, brush and sweep as far back into the register piping or cavity as you can.

Accessing Main Ducts

Accessing Main Ducts

The areas you could not reach with the steps above are not likely to contain a lot of dust and dirt. However, if you are determined to clean every place you can, there are a couple more things you can do.
1. Remove end caps from rectangular duct work. If you have rectangular duct work, like in the picture below, you can remove the end caps to access the inside of the ducts. You can slide the "drives" down off the duct and pull the cap out of the "slips." So long as the duct is not butting up against the wall, you should be able to reach your vacuum hose in through the space uncovered by removing the cap, and sweep out any dust you find. You could even use a flashlight to look inside the duct for dirty areas.

Shut off fan and furnace.

7. Shut off fan and furnace. Shut the fan off at the thermostat and the power off to the furnace via the service switch or breaker panel. Do not just shut off the thermostat, because that doesn't turn off the power to the unit.
8. Clean out blower compartment and return air boot. With the power off, you can remove the panels on the front of the furnace and access the blower compartment and the return air boot. Use your vacuum to sweep up the dust built up in the blower compartment and return air boot. This is where the great bulk of your dust will be. Since you’re in here, you should clean the furnace fan as well.
9. Replace furnace filter. Buying a better filter will definitely cut down on the dust in your home. But the better the filter, the more often you should change it; a dirty filter restricts the airflow to the fan, which results in the blower motor running hotter and reducing its lifespan. How often you should change your filter depends on your home, your pets, and your location
