The ventilation
system in chemical
laboratories occupies a special place. Its tasks are of primary
importance and
a high level of responsibility. Functions, performed by the system,
allow to
exclude undesirable situations and consequences important for human
health and
safety and security of goods and equipment.
Depending on the
operations performed, laboratories
use a variety of chemical elements, perform technological operations
accompanied by the release of volatile components, smoke, gases, etc.
The air in such
accommodations has a
high degree of responsibility, it will not only depend on the result of
work or
to keep the well-being, life or health. Thus, it is possible to combine
the
tasks performed by the ventilation system for laboratories:
-good air
quality;
-maintaining the
laboratory climate
(temperature, humidity) at a proper level;
-elimination of
the spread of harmful
substances, the formation of hazardous concentrations or emissions;
-prevention of
dangerous situations from
a fire point of view.
Ventilation fans
must remove heat and
moisture in order to maintain an optimal temperature and create a
comfortable
microclimate for work.
The organization
of the ventilation
system of chemical laboratories provides a fairly sophisticated
process, which
is based on the specificity of smelling and introducing. The need for
fresh air
will depend on the equipment used, technology and methods of operation.
The
design and installation of the system must be carried out with the
utmost care
and responsibility, excluding errors or miscalculations.
