American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, Committee on Industrial Ventilation, P.O. Box 453, Lansing, Michigan 48902, USA, 13th edition, 1974. 353p. Illus. 115 ref. Price: US-$6.00. |
| Abstract |
The material of this profusely illustrated and comprehensive manual is presented in a practical, concise, easy-to-understand manner. Theoretical discussions and complex equations are not given. Definitions and general principles of ventilation are followed by chapters devoted to: dilution ventilation for health and fire; ventilation for heat control; hood design; design procedure; make-up and recirculated air; construction of local exhaust systems; testing of ventilation systems; fans; air-cleaning devices. The manual is sufficiently complete to permit an industrial ventilation system to be designed without reference to other texts. An appendix contains current threshold limit values and physical constants of airborne contaminants, and tables and design charts in metric units are given in a supplement. |
