factory ventilation

Factory ventilation refers to the engineered systems designed to exchange indoor and outdoor air in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and workshops. These systems control temperature, humidity, and airborne contaminants to protect worker health and product quality.

Key components include high-capacity fans (axial, centrifugal, mixed flow), duct networks, air handling units (AHUs), and filtration modules. By balancing supply and exhaust airflows, factory ventilation achieves a controlled air change rate tailored to process requirements and occupancy levels.

Advanced controls and Building Management System (BMS) integration enable demand-controlled ventilation, where sensors for temperature, CO₂, and particulate matter adjust fan speeds and damper positions in real time. This adaptive approach reduces energy consumption while maintaining comfort and safety.

Properly designed factory ventilation also supports thermal comfort through zoned airflow, heat recovery systems, and economizer modes, allowing free cooling when outdoor conditions permit. Routine maintenance—filter replacement, duct cleaning, fan balancing—is essential to sustain performance and regulatory compliance.
