INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION CONFERENCE
Conference Overview
The purpose of this conference is to teach effective and economical ventilation practices and design techniques through the application of established principals. Ventilation systems provide the desired control over the in-plant environment and when they are properly planned, designed and maintained, will operate within the constraints of air pollution emission control and energy limits. This conference will present the principals of airflow, how to control airborne contaminates and how to properly design and test systems. There will be both lectures and hands on problem sessions that will take you step by step through the design of various types of systems. You will learn to select appropriate exhaust devices and hoods, determine air volume and minimum duct velocity, how to size duct, the calculation of system pressure losses, the selection of fans, air cleaning devices and other ventilation topics. This course will help you understand, design and maintain efficient, effective and economical industrial exhaust ventilation systems. Each attendee will receive a copy of the latest edition of Industrial Ventilation – A Manual of Recommended Practice published by American Conference of Governmental & Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for plant engineers,, industrial hygienists, sheet metal contractors, plant and operations managers, mine engineers, consulting engineers, safety engineers, regulators, inspectors, insurance investigators, risk managers and anyone involved in ventilation system design, maintenance and performance.
Benefits of Attending
- Provide a safe and healthy working environment
- Save thousands of dollars with proper system design
- Reduce liability and risk
- Reduce energy costs
- Improve product quality
- Take home a comprehensive package of course materials that includes the Industrial Ventilation Manual (25th edition), detailed technical information on fans and related engineering reference materials.
Problem Sessions
You will need to choose one of the following problem sessions. The problem sessions begin with standard ventilation design concepts and progress to the development of complete systems. You will examine a broad range of industrial processes and the problems are sequenced to allow you to develop the necessary skills to design complete ventilation systems. You will learn to select exhaust systems for various situations, determine air volume, minimum duct velocity, size duct, calculate system pressure losses and select fans and air cleaning devices. We ask that you bring a calculator with scientific functions to aid in working the classroom problems.
Ventilation System Design
These classes are intended for plant engineers, safety, health and environmental professionals, mine engineers, fabricators, designers and consultants. It is also recommended for persons who do not design systems regularly, have maintenance responsibilities or have no prior experience or specific education in ventilation system design. The problems will emphasize fundamentals of air flow in systems and will include selection of exhaust hoods, determination of air volume and maximum duct velocity, sizing of ducts, calculation of system pressure losses and selection of fans and air cleaning devices. High temperature without moisture will be introduced.
Non-Standard Air
These problems will deal with exhaust systems that involve elevated air temperature and/or moisture where the density may vary significantly from standard conditions. Air volume and pressure calculation will be made using psychrometric charts in order to determine duct sizes, fan characteristics and adequate motor horsepower. Prerequisite: Attendance in either the Ventilation Systems Design session in this or another ventilation conference is required prior to attending this problem session.
