Abstract The efficiency of various ventilation systems in carrying off welding fumes was determined by calculating the fresh air supply required in each case. Top, bottom and lateral air supply systems were considered. Systems with fresh air supply from the bottom or from the side wall close to the bottom of the room were found to require the lowest volume of fresh air.
