Author(s) : ACGIH

Type of monograph: Report, Guide/Handbook

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. Extract from the table of contents: general principles of ventilation; general industrial ventilation (dilution ventilation for health; heat balance and exchange; worker protection; control; ventilation systems; velocity cooling; respiratory heat exchangers; refrigerated suits; insulation; local exhaust hoods; air cleaning devices; exhaust system design procedure; fans; supply air systems (purpose, equipment, distribution; heating, cooling and other operating costs; system control and noise); ventilation aspects of indoor air quality (dilution ventilation for indoor air quality; HVAC components); monitoring and testing of ventilation systems; specific operations.
