Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation
Greater Cincinnati Area
This course covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:
- The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air
- Industrial process exhaust system design (including ACGIH calculation methods)
- Make-up and supply air ventilation systems
- Dilution ventilation systems
- Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, and fittings
- Fans and air cleaners (including Fan Laws)
- Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems
- Hands-on testing and measurements
- Calculation and estimation approaches related to airborne contaminants
- TLV and TWA
- OA for dilution, fans, system testing, sound and noise, heat stress, radiation, ventilation, statistics, chemistry, etc.
- A calculations lab in which participants work in a team environment
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and select appropriate ventilation systems for process emission/exposure control
- Measure and evaluate the performance of ventilation systems (flow, pressure, horsepower)
- Design and evaluate dilution ventilation systems
- Design/re-design local exhaust systems using state-of-the-art design procedures
- Design, operate, and modify hoods appropriate to participants’ needs
- Critically review ventilation system plans, drawings, and specifications of engineers and architects
- Understand the basic fundamentals, estimation techniques, and calculations related to occupational health and safety
- Understand terms and units used in OH&S related estimations and formulas
- Understand and apply formulas related to OH&S estimations and calculations
- Use dimensional analysis to generate formulas and mathematical relationships
- Prepare for certification exams
