Contract courses at your location; dates to be determined

For whom:

IHs, safety professionals, designers, plant and facilities engineers, architects.

Length:

3 days.

Pre-requisites:

Algebra.

Coverage:

This 3-day course covers basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:

  • the behavior of air and chemical contaminants in air
  • industrial process exhaust systems
  • makeup and supply air ventilation systems
  • dilution ventilation systems
  • selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, fans, stacks, and air cleaners
  • troubleshooting and testing of existing systems

Materials:

Each student receives

  1. the Industrial Ventilation Workbook
  2. the Industrial Ventilation Manual*
  3. the Companion Study Guide to the Vent Manual*
  4. a pre-programmed calculator used to design local exhaust duct systems. The calculator automatically selects appropriate duct diameters, estimates all system losses, balances junctions, resizes duct work, and selects fans
  5. handout materials

*at the ACGIH course

Objectives:

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • identify and select appropriate ventilation systems for process emission/exposure control
  • measure the performance of ventilation systems
  • design and evaluate dilution ventilation systems
  • design or redesign local exhaust systems using state-of-the-art CADD design procedures (an optional pre-programmed design calculator will be provided to each participant)
  • design, operate, and modify hoods appropriate to participant needs
  • critically review ventilation system plans, drawings, and specifications of engineers and architects
  • troubleshoot and correct deficiencies in existing systems
  • speak knowledgeably to others about the subject
