Velocity profiles around hoods and slots and the effects of an adjacent plane
Results of measurements around local exhaust ventilation hoods and slots up to an aspect ratio of 16:1, taken with the hoods freely suspended and when resting on a plane surface, are given. A nomogram, previously designed to predict centreline velocities in front of freely suspended hoods, can also be used for hoods resting on a plane surface. Flanged hoods are more effective, and much higher velocities can be produced in front of a hood resting on a plane than with a freely suspended hood.

Measurement of ventilation efficiency
Ilmanvaihtotehokkuuden mittaus [en finlandés]
Development and testing of theoretical models of ventilation in the workplace. The models were: single compartment, multicompartment and transition time models. Equations describing the circulation of gases were derived for the models, and the results compared with experimental data concerning the dilution and ventilation of nitrous oxide in the air of several locations. The models gave similar results, confirmed by the data.

Eczema defeated by a hood
Eksemen försvann när dragskåpen kom [en sueco]
Interview with 2 workers employed in the fabrication of plastic, metal or glass assemblies with epoxy glues. For many years, these workers suffered from eczema and rhinitis. A study of the subjects' workplaces revealed a number of airborne pollutants (epoxy resins, hardeners, solvents). The gluing workstations were transferred to a location with a ventilation system and were equipped with hoods with transparent fronts; this eliminated all airborne pollutants.

Influence of room air supply on laboratory hoods
The effect of room air supply system on laboratory fume hood performance was investigated using a previously developed test. The test measures the concentration of tracer gas in the breathing zone of the worker when the tracer, mixed with air, is released at known rates at various positions within the hood. The terminal velocity of supply air jets is as important as the hood face velocity in its effect on performance. Terminal velocity of jets should be <1/2 to 2/3 the face velocity. Data for wall grilles, ceiling diffusers and perforated ceiling panels are presented.

A performance test for laboratory fume hoods
A performance test was developed, using the measured concentration in the breathing zone of a worker (mannikin) at the face of the fume hood when known amounts of tracer, mixed with air, were released in the hood. The test method yields a performance rating which includes all parameters, e.g., the influence of room air currents and the presence of a worker, not just face velocity. A performance rating incorporating the tracer gas release rate in litres/min, the as-used-in-the-laboratory conditions, and the control level, in ppm, in the breathing zone of the worker, was determined. Tests conducted in the absence of a mannikin yielded much lower control levels than with the mannikin present.

Experimental studies on factory ventilation with large heat sources: Part 2 - Natural ventilation
Scale model studies were carried out on the natural ventilation of a factory building with a large heat source through air inlet openings in the working floors, in an attempt to develop a method which would take full advantage of the more marked vertical than horizontal temperature gradient. In the case of natural ventilation resulting from the density difference between columns of outdoor and indoor air, the values of the Archimedes' number in the model and under natural conditions were the same. A stratification method using the temperature gradient effect required a smaller area for vents than the conventional method and resulted in more economic ventilation designs.

Centreline velocity characteristics of local exhaust ventilation hoods
Studies in front of plain and flanged local exhaust ventilation hoods show that design equations based on the work of Dallavalle and Silverman, which form the basis of today's design methods, are not valid in general. Recent experimental data were compared with a new formula and gave very close agreement.

Validation of a method to determine a protection factor for laboratory hoods
The method described determines a hood's relative efficiency for containing a vapour released at a known rate inside the hood. Measurement of vapour contamination in the breathing zone of a mannequin standing at the face of the hood allows determination of the effects on hood performance of air supply, turbulent room air, hood location, hood sash configuration or worker position. The test method and protection factor calculation is valid for different hoods and is a valuable tool for comparison of laboratory hood systems.

Local push-pull exhaust ventilation for surface treatment vats
Nawiewno-wywiewna wentylacja miejscowa przy wannach z kąpielami technologicznymi [en polonés]
Studies aimed at optimising the characteristics of the system to obtain maximum economy of energy and improved safety and health conditions, with particular reference to electroplating shops, are described. Aspects studied were laminar air flows drawn along the surface of the open baths, exhaust spectra of the exhaust hoods and their interaction with total enclosure of the vat. The results were combined with data from the world literature to generate flow parameters and construct a push-pull device for vats of Polish manufacture, taking the particular requirements of automatic electroplating into account. This type of ventilation is effective and allows the total air flow in vats more than 0.7m in width to be reduced by half compared with local exhaust ventilation systems.

Capture of contaminants by local exhaust ventilation devices
Utsugs infångning av föroreningar [en sueco]
The capture efficiency of local exhaust systems is defined and the effect of exhaust systems on contamination reduction is discussed. The functional relation between capture efficiency and exhaust air flow may be described by S-shaped curves. The combined effect of capture efficiency and degree of use is considered; the level of combined effect depends mainly on the smaller of the 2 parameters. Local exhaust systems with a built-in filter and recirculated exhaust air are dealt with.

CIS 83-676 A new generation of laboratory fume cupboards
Eine neue Generation von Abzügen [en alemán]
The operation and limitations of conventional fume cupboards are described. These criteria (high cost of laboratory air, reduction of airflow) were used as basic parameters for a computer-assisted design programme. The outcome was the development of a new model of laboratory fume cupboard with a modified airflow system (2 vertical vortexes moving in opposite rotational directions and flowing upwards). This new design underwent extensive testing: air velocity profiles in the working aperture, gas dwell time in the hood, interference factor of the sliding window when left open. One of the advantages of this laboratory fume cupboard is the virtually total separation of laboratory air and fume - cupboard air.

Improving the working environment at low pressure spraying work stations
Möjligheter att förbättra arbetsmiljön vid lågtryckssprutning [en sueco]
A description of the low-pressure paint spraying technique is given, and it is pointed out that during normal work up to 50% of the paint sprayed may be lost into the atmosphere. To minimise atmospheric contamination, it is proposed that : the spray method and spray nozzle should be selected to ensure that paint atomisation is no finer than necessary; spraying parameters should be optimised to minimise spray loss; ventilation air should be directed in such a way as to carry spray mists away from the operator. The most important parameter affecting spray loss is the spraying distance: the greater the spraying distance the greater the paint loss. Increased air pressure and decreased paint flow also increase the paint loss.

Ventilation and exposure to organic solvents at car-wash installations
Ilmanvaihto ja liuotinainealtistuminen autonpesupaikoilla [en finlandés]
Report of a study of 11 car-wash installations to determine: the level of exposure of workers to solvents (white spirit containing mainly aliphatic but also some aromatic hydrocarbons); and the effectiveness of the ventilation systems. Concentrations measured varied widely due to differences in both the efficiency of the ventilation systems and the type of vehicle being washed. The average concentration in the breathing zone was 160mg/m3 (range of 5-465mg/m3) when private cars were being washed; for lorries the corresponding figures were 270mg/m3 and 45-685 mg/m3. The average exposure was below the recommended limit of 770mg/m3. However, peak concentrations were as high as 4,500mg/m3. Average airflow during car washing was 1.3m3/s. Ventilation was most efficient when make-up air was blown down from the ceiling and exhausted near floor level.

Local exhaust systems and air contaminants in hot dip galvanising
Kuumasinkitysaltaiden kohdepoistot ja ilman epäpuhtaudet [en finlandés]
The composition and concentrations of fumes released during hot dip galvanising were determined and effectiveness of local exhaust ventilation systems in hot dip galvanising shops were assessed. Fume concentration and composition were measured in 9 plants, and ventilation effectiveness was determined in 5 plants. The main source of fume was usually the flux, and fume composition was ammonium chloride (41%), zinc ammonium chloride (47%), zinc chloride (5%), zinc and zinc oxide (7%) and small amounts of hydrogen chloride. Average fume concentration in the worker's breathing zone was 5.6mg/m3. Highest exposure occured when immersing articles in molten zinc. Highest fume concentrations were in plants with no local exhaust ventilation systems. The most effective systems had an exhaust hood covering the full length of the tank with an airflow of 1.3m3/s/m2. Other factors in exhaust hood design are described.

Survey, use, and performance of biological safety cabinets
The types of cabinet available, how they are designed to function, their proper use and their expected performance are discussed. A class II Type A biological safety cabinet was evaluated by challenge with Bacillus subtilis spores at line voltages of 85-130V in order to determine performance during simulated brownout and power surge conditions. With a 20.3cm high work opening the cabinet passed both personnel and product protection tests at all voltages. With a 25.4cm high work opening the cabinet passed the same tests with the exception of the personnel protection test at 85V. The motor-blower performance characteristics were adequate for this cabinet to perform its safety function over a considerable range of line voltages.

An improved method of predicting underground climate
Proposal of a more accurate method of precalculation that takes into account the observation that the temperature of the airway wall at which water vaporisation occurs is lower than the temperature in case of no vaporisation. Geothermal heat flow from dry rock therefore increases, and temperature and humidity of air current are affected. To perform the calculation by this method, the authors present a new method for determining the wetness factor. Applicability and accuracy of this method were examined by comparing the calculated results with the measured results. The comparison showed that the new method gives temperature and especially humidity predictions with improved accuracy. Improved prediction of underground climate can be expected from simultaneous calculation of rate of flow, temperature and humidity in the underground network.

A high-speed electric air filter for mines with a liquid precipitating electrode
Skorostnoj rudničnyj ėlektrofil'tr s židkostnym osaditel'nym ėlektrodom [en ruso]
In a new air filter for use in mines, horizontal pans of water are the precipitating surfaces; the liquid offers a very flat surface which is continuously renewed, and precipitated dust is continuously removed by the liquid stream. The design of the filter makes use of both electrostatic and aerodynamic forces: the air stream makes repeated contact with the precipitating electrodes, which promotes inertial precipitation of the entrained dust. A description, diagram and performance characteristics of the filter are given. The filter can be used for cleaning both exhaust ventilation air and air from local exhaust systems in ferrous ore comminution, enrichment and sintering plants.

Method for determining dust emissions and for optimising local exhaust ventilation of harmful substances on machinery and plant
Methode zur Ermittlung staubförmiger Emissionen und zur Optimierung der lüftungstechnischen Erfassung von Schadstoffen an Maschinen und Anlagen [en alemán]
This brochure gives an introduction to the collection of dust and harmful substances and the theoretical principles of collection: exhaust hoods and apertures, exhaust slots, push-pull ventilation systems, air speed. Following a review of the main rules to be observed in the design of ducting for air containing harmful substances, consideration is given to the characteristics of gas, dust and liquid separators (mechanical, filters, electrostatic, scrubbers). Portable test equipment for determining dust emission at source and the necessary minimum exhaust air speed are described: equipment, functional diagram, mode of operation, analysis of measurement results. Practical examples of the use of this equipment in the control of dust given off by mixing drums in the pottery industry.

Health and Safety Laboratories
The design of local exhaust ventilation hoods and slots
Hoods of 9 different aspect ratios between 1:1 and 16:1, with <6 different areas at a given aspect ratio were examined at Health and Safety Laboratories. Air was drawn into the hoods by a centrifugal fan; volume flow rate was regulated by a valve and measured by means of an orifice plate. Average face velocities in the range 2.30m/s were produced. Velocities along the centreline were measured with a constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer. Velocities across the hood face were found to be uniform except close to the hood edges. Centreline velocity is strongly dependent on aspect ratio, which means that the design formulae of Dallavalle (1930) and Silverman (1942) previously used to predict centreline velocities are not valid in general. The velocity induced by suction fell very rapidly with increasing distance from the hood; correct siting of the hood is therefore important if the system is to be effective. Effects of flanges are also considered.

Auxiliary ventilation in its wider aspects
Discusses the basic theory of the use of single fans and fans in combination in coal mines, and explains the reasons why certain fans are suitable for series and parallel combinations. The basic theory of ventilation ducting efficiency is examined and applied in several ventilation problems to produce effective solutions. A method of calculating the best combinations of fans for specific ventilation duties is detailed, including an appreciation of ways of improving ventilation performance. The basic ventilation systems are covered briefly and related to degassing procedures. The installation of standby alternative ventilation systems is explained in relation to fan maintenance.

Centerline velocity gradients for plain and flanged local exhaust inlets
Experimental data obtained recently for high velocity, low volume, exhaust nozzles was compared with findings from the studies of circular, rectangular and narrow slot inlets, conducted by Dalla Valle and Silverman in the 1930s and 1940s and used as the basis for design equations. The application of the existing design equations for circular and rectangular inlets and narrow slots was generally confirmed. Significant variations were noted for flanged and rectangular configurations. The implications of the experimental and analytical methodology are discussed.
