Industrial Ventilation Products

Without adequate industrial ventilation in your facility, you are quite literally doing production in a volatile powder keg.

Risks of Poor Ventilation

• Exposing employees to harmful gases and debris through poor industrial ventilation can be fatal. When these toxins and contaminants are allowed to build up either within a mechanical system or in the facility itself, they produce a combustible risk, even with the smallest electrical spark.
• Poor industrial ventilation can be harmful to your equipment. Industrial HVAC system components not only require adequate airflow in to operate efficiently, they also must have viable exhaust to run as intended. Failure to properly ventilate can be dangerous and can lead to increased wear and tear, resulting in an early end of life/increased repairs for expensive equipment.
• You might be violating workplace safety codes without implementing adequate industrial ventilation practices in your facility. If that’s the case, you are putting your equipment, personnel, and building at an unnecessary risk.

Implementing Proper Industrial Ventilation Practices

• Proper industrial ventilation involves implementing a multi-faceted plan. Industrial ducting is used to send gas, air and debris to the proper outlets, while industrial dampers are used to invigorate airflow.
• Your facility needs to have adequate natural ventilation but also proactive ventilation.

Reliable heating and cooling is not only important for the comfort of employees, it’s also critical to the overall quality of the products being produced in industrial settings. Capacity, efficiency and safety should be the primary considerations in your heating and air component decision-making.

Industrial heating and air is often complicated because of the size of a facility and of the safety requirements the HVAC system must meet. For example, electrical rooms filled with large power supplies and VFD controls give off high heat and require cooling to keep plants running.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING AN HVAC SYSTEM

• One of the main considerations when upgrading industrial heating and air components is where they are going to be housed. Some equipment and machinery may need to be operated at certain temperatures.
• Many commercial and industrial buildings opt for rooftop ventilation systems to save room and for easy access. However, separated units are also an option.
• Capacity requirements should also be considered. Unit requirements are based on application and potential available sources. For example, gas is required for direct-fired or indirect units. Hydronic is another option for hot water, steam or glycol. Cooling choices can range from evaporative or chilled water, electric, and more.
• Selecting the proper industrial HVAC system is one of the most important decisions your company will make. If the wrong model is installed, you might be paying exorbitantly high utility bills while creating an unsafe work environment and risking damage to your equipment and products.
