Importance of Proper Ventilation in Industries

First, it’s important to understand what ‘ventilation’ means. Ventilation refers to the process where clean outdoor air is supplied to a space, while stale air is removed. Ventilation is specially required for commercial and industrial spaces to control indoor air quality by diluting and displacing indoor pollutants. Ventilation also controls temperature, humidity and air motion.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VENTILATION IN AN INDUSTRIAL SETTING:
Industrial facilities are often places that produce toxic air particles, hazardous chemical fumes, dust, and other harmful vapors. To reduce the effect of such floating dangers, proper industrial ventilation needs to be installed. Industrial ventilation removes the bad air and replaces it with fresh air from outside.It is difficult to ensure warehouses and factories are kept well ventilated, but proper ventilation in a factory environment is absolutely essential for both the employees as well as the equipment and materials.

Why Is Ventilation In an Industry Such A Big Deal?
Fresh and clean air in a workspace enables a more productive and healthy workforce. Poor air quality can actually seriously impact the health of your staff, with symptoms including :
• irritations of eyes, nose, and throat
• nausea, dizziness
• dry skin and rashes
• mental fatigue, headache, and sleepiness
• airway infections, cough
• hoarseness, wheezing

It is essential by law that industries need to be adequately ventilated in the proper manner. This means that clean air needs to be drawn from an external source outside of the industry and circulated around the building.

It is necessary to dilute and remove humid air and provide sufficient air movement within the building to make the air feel fresh.

As well as providing sufficient fresh air to breathe, the regulations also require that an industry has ventilation to successfully remove excess heat and maintain the heat levels. In small workplaces like a small office, for example, doors and windows may well be sufficient to comply with the regulations but in larger premises like industrial factories, mechanical ventilation will be required.

One of the methods of industrial ventilation used to keep employees safe is installing local exhaust.

Local Exhaust:
When contamination levels are high, local exhaust is typically used. It works by removing the contaminated air close to the source, and then sending that air through a series of filters on its way out of the facility.

Alfa Fans have designed three types of Exhaust Fans to suit your industrial needs:

EXHAUST FAN WITH COVER:
●  Exhaust Fan can be bolted directly to the wall.
●  Exhaust fans are designed for low-pressure exhausting and cooling applications to provide optimum performance.
●  They are built around an Energy Efficient motor with dynamically balanced impellers for smooth & vibration-free operation

EXHAUST FAN:
●   Exhaust fans to keeps the moisture away and gets that air flowing. For rooms that are always fresh and alive.
●  Designed specifically for the purpose, the motor has prelubricated double ball bearing.
●  Noise less Operation & maintenance free design

FLAME PROOF EXHAUST FAN:
●   Flame proof Exhaust fans help remove fumes, dust, smoke or steam from poorly ventilated areas
●  Six powerful blades are powered by an explosion proof motor to handle environments .Exhaust fans have a totally enclosed cooled motor.

When considering the ventilation in a factory environment, you need to consider a number of aspects, including: air quality, temperature, humidity, energy efficiency, cost efficiency, and environmental impact. These will all have a bearing on the design of effective industrial fans for the factories of today.

At Alfa fans, we offer a fully bespoke service to suit all your ventilation requirements. All Alfa Industrial fans are made to the highest standards by industry experts, ensuring you get the best system suited perfectly to your facilities needs and specifications.
