| Abstract |
Experiments using the directed push-pull ventilation technique were conducted on a general type of local exhaust ventilation installation. The exhaust (pull) system consisted of a square hood, while the push system consisted of one or two slot or round jets located behind and besides a mannequin simulating the worker's position. The one slot jet was located between the smoke source and the mannequin. The experiments showed that the directed push-pull technique is effective in reducing contaminant emission in the workroom, if the jets are located so that eddy currents induced by the worker or other obstructions are minimised or eliminated. |
