Influence of the scheme of air exchange organization in the room on the efficiency of the air-jet hood of the heat treatment chamber

Abstract

Local exhaust ventilation allows maximizing the localization of hazards with minimum values of air exchange in the room. For the study, the design of a local exhaust in the form of an air-jet hood at an open doorway of the UKM Classic M 2005 chamber by Mauting was adopted. Geometric models have been developed, including a heat treatment chamber, a room from which the chamber is loaded, a supply and exhaust hood over the door from the chamber to the room, and a supply air duct with air distributing devices. The results of a computational experiment on modeling the operation of the local exhaust ventilation system of the heat treatment chamber are presented. The STAR-CCM+ software package was used as a calculation program. The calculation results were analyzed. The influence of the air exchange scheme (location of the supply devices) in the room on the efficiency of the local exhaust devices (supply and exhaust hood) has been established.
