Topics covered include exhaust and dilution ventilation, indoor air pollution, OSHA ventilation standards, hazard assessment, local exhaust systems, hood selection and design, air cleaner, fans, ventilation for high-toxicity or high-nuisance contaminants, testing, and solving ventilation problems.

Here, for the first time, is an authoritative technical reference book covering all aspects of state-of-the-art design of ventilation systems for contaminant control for a wide variety of manufacturing and processing industries. The author has played a key role in the development of the subject and this book is based on his extensive consulting experience in the practical engineering design of contaminant control systems world-wide, as well as his personal research work. The material is organized specifically for ease of understanding and contains all the technical information needed to develop cost-effective solutions for any type of contaminant in the workplace environment. A unique feature is the development of recommended subject classifications for the ventilation field. For each type of ventilation system, the fundamental design equations are developed from theoretical principles, and numerous examples are given of the practical application of these design equations to solving industrial ventilation problems.

Portable ventilation systems provide an option for supplementing installed ventilation, as well as providing a system for ventilation where none exists. Portable Ventilation Systems Handbook discusses the various types of portable ventilation systems currently in use, their advantages and disadvantages, and what systems works best for what function.

The Engineer's Clean Air Handbook is written for engineers but in a language which should be understandable to anyone who may be directly involved in or concerned about atmospheric contamination. It concentrates on achieving clean air and on the more general aspects of pollution. The book begins with the description and make-up of the atmosphere, the size and nature of the atmospheric content, sources of contamination, and risk assessment from atmospheric contamination. Subsequent sections focus on air filters and filtration systems, instrumentation for monitoring and control of atmospheric contamination, ventilation and the quality of breathing air, and the relationship of atmospheric contamination and health. Environmentalists, engineers, and ecologists will find the book useful.

Industrial Ventilation Design Guidebook, Volume 2: Engineering Design and Applications brings together researchers, engineers (both design and plants), and scientists to develop a fundamental scientific understanding of ventilation to help engineers implement state-of-the-art ventilation and contaminant control technology. Now in two volumes, this reference contains extensive revisions and updates as well as a unique section on best practices for the following industrial sectors: Automotive; Cement; Biomass Gasifiers; Advanced Manufacturing; Industrial 4.0); Non-ferrous Smelters; Lime Kilns; Pulp and Paper; Semiconductor Industry; Steelmaking; Mining. - Brings together global researchers and engineers to solve complex ventilation and contaminant control problems using state-of-the-art design equations - Includes an expanded section on modeling and its practical applications based on recent advances in research - Features a new chapter on best practices for specific industrial sectors
