General Ventilation

Ventilation maintains a natural hygrometry in the premises, improves working conditions and air quality. With the experience of years STI develops more economical solutions with high performance.

General ventilation systems are placed to dilute and exhaust emissions in the work area. They are also used when the source of pollution is related to the number of personnel in the work area.

General Ventilation Working Principle

General ventilation, also known as dilution ventilation, has the principle of renewing the air inside industrial sites by bringing in bulk a large quantity of new air and diluting the existing polluted air, through the use of fans well designed to remedy this objective. This procedure eliminates particles and odors caused by the presence of workers and waste from production lines. The presence of these pollutants is dangerous for the health of the workers and disrupts the smooth running of operations.

In summary, industrial ventilation has the following limitations:
  • Does not totally eliminate pollutants
  • Not recommended for highly toxic chemicals.
  • Not efficient with dust, large amounts of smoke or steam.

The advantages of general ventilation

  • Cost-effective and optimal solution
  • Improves worker comfort
  • Keeps products in acceptable condition
  • Puts your room in positive pressure

The design of this type of installation must respect the following principles

  • Capturing the pollutant at source is difficult
  • Compensate air outlets with inlets
  • Passing as much air as possible through polluted areas
