Summary

This manual is the fruit of years of experience by committee members (Committee on Industrial Ventilation) and provides a compilation of research data and information on design, maintenance, operation, and evaluation of industrial exhaust ventilation systems. This information has been derived from a variety of sources including research, technical reports, governmental and industrial publications, and experience of the practitioner. It attempts to present a logical method of designing and testing these systems and has found wide acceptance as a guide for industrial ventilation designers, and as a textbook for industrial ventilation and hygiene courses.
