Design of air supply systems of workshops equipped with pollutant removal devices. A computational fluid dynamics approach.

Author(s) : FONTAINE J. R., RAPP R.

Summary

The ventilation of industrial premises in which pollutants are emitted is usually based on the use of local exhaust systems placed close to the contaminant sources (painting, welding). However, very few is known about how the equivalent amount of fresh air should be introduced into the workshop to ensure equilibrium without disturbing the capturing systems. The paper considers this problem for the particular case of a workshop containing a painting zone made of large extracting area located at the floor level. It is investigated how air supply systems, which for practical reasons have to be placed 9 meters above the floor, can enhance the pollutant capture efficiency of the extraction and possibly produce a displacement type of ventilation. The results are obtained from numerical simulations.
