Many elements must be addressed while building a ventilation system, including dust and fume sources, plant structure, present airflow patterns, potential process modifications, and more.
Motivation and goals are also crucial, and they might include a variety of health, safety, and regulatory compliance problems.
Ventilation Mapping follows a five-step process:
- On-site consultation
- Collect data
- System design
- Final evaluation and analysis
STEP 1: ON-SITE CONSULTATION
A conversation allows us to better grasp your difficulties and objectives.
The most important goal is to properly establish and express your objectives.
Our engineers are well-versed in air quality laws and know how to achieve any air quality target you may have.
Our engineers will make a basic evaluation of the problem after reviewing your facility architecture and dust-generating procedures.
Knowing how much smoke or dust is created during a shift, for example, and how the dust is distributed throughout the facility, is crucial.
STEP 2: COLLECT DATA
We then concentrate on your current situation.
We'll look at your existing exposure and measure your current air quality, for example.
We'll look at the dust produced by existing processes and learn about your dust collecting systems.
We can import your data into the model if you already have it.
If you don't have your data, our team will gather it for you.
Depending on the data you already have, our data collection may include:
- On-site process analysis
- On-site smoke and dust measurement
- Manufacturing process, production level (e.g. if welding, we will collect solder wire data against the number of units produced, etc.)
- Analysis of existing building ventilation on site
- Research on local air quality
STEP 3: MODELING
Our engineers next create a 3D model of your building, which includes walls, furnishings, windows and doors, curtains, manufacturing line layouts, process sites where smoke and dust are generated, current HVAC and ventilation systems, ducting, and other physical elements.
This model is then filled with your air quality data.
We'll utilize Computational Fluid Dynamics, or CFD, to animate this model in the case of an ambient solution.
You can see when and where pollutants travel through your plant using your model, which is an exact representation of airflow patterns across your facility.
This model enables us to forecast the effects of various device combinations.
STEP 4: SYSTEM DESIGN
Our engineers can then develop the best solution for you by utilizing simulation software.
Their years of knowledge are combined with modeling findings to produce the finest design and implementation possible.
The design will incorporate the best ducting and equipment placement and configuration to work with, not against, current airflow and your facility architecture.
STEP 5: FINAL EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS
Once your system is up and running, we double-check that the outcomes match what the simulation predicted.
Our engineers make any last tweaks necessary to guarantee that the finished product meets your expectations.
