Eighth Annual Industrial Ventilation Design, Troubleshooting and Maintenance Seminar
February 23-25, 2009 – Las Vegas Nevada
Seminar Overview
This course will help you understand, design and maintain efficient, effective and economical industrial exhaust ventilation systems. This comprehensive seminar will teach ventilation practices and maintenance techniques to control the quality of air in the working environment of all places of employment and especially manufacturing, mining and research operations. The course utilizes discussion, hands-on demonstrations and problem solving exercises using common exhaust hoods, centrifugal fans and a working ventilation system to provide guidelines and instruction to understand proper hood design, how to evaluate fan system airflow and performance, fan maintenance, and how to troubleshoot system problems. Topics include principals of air flow, control of air contaminants, system testing, selection of exhaust hoods, calculation of system pressure losses, selection of fans and air cleaning devices. The fan maintenance sessions cover how to tension and align v-belt drives; wheel to inlet cone tolerances/alignment; causes of fan vibration; proper fan installation practice; system effects on bearing life; understanding fan speed limits, and understanding fan sound issues. The troubleshooting section includes need for maintenance, maintenance scheduling, technical documentation, base-line data at startup, troubleshooting a system using the static pressure method, bag house and fan troubleshooting.
Who Should Attend
This Workshop is intended for Engineers, Contractors, Industrial Hygienists, Maintenance Managers and End Users who are responsible for installation, maintenance and performance of centrifugal fans and ventilation systems.
Benefits of attending this seminar:
1. Understand and recognize correct and incorrect installations
2. Save thousands of dollars with proper system maintenance and design
3. Hands-on training on a real demonstration system
4. Understand how to measure system airflow
5. Reduce liability and risk
6. Take home a comprehensive package of course materials that include detailed technical information on fans and air cleaning devices, as well as related engineering reference materials.

Questions & Answers
Hands-On Testing Workshops
You will participate in hands-on sessions where you will perform various system measurements including using a pitot tube traverse to determine flow rates, hood static pressure, duct pressure drop and simulation of fan and system curves. The demonstration unit is modified to employ various hood shapes (plain, flange, conical, bell mouth), as well as illustrate “fan system effects” and can be converted from single to multiple hood configurations. Everyone participates.
This course will incorporate lectures, problem solving and hands-on workshops. You will receive a set of handouts and reference materials to take with you. The program will incorporate hood static pressure, fan curves, volume calculations, fan selection and hands-on system evaluation.
Fees and Registration
The fee for this course is $895.00 U.S. Registrations must be made in advance and all fees are due by program start date. (If you register for both this course and the Industrial Ventilation Conference at the same time you will receive a reduced fee of $1,600.00). The fee includes all course materials and a comprehensive package of related engineering reference materials, breaks and lunch each day. The fee does not include travel and lodging. The University of Arizona reserves the right to cancel this course. In the event of cancellation, all registration fees will be refunded in full. The University of Arizona cannot be held responsible for costs incurred other than the registration fees. Cancellations received two weeks prior to the program start date will receive a full refund.
