Exhaust location

According to Shepelev and Tarnopolsky - air velocity on the axis of the jet at the distance x from the outlet for air supply and exhaust located on the same wall can be calculated from... 

Booths are often used for work prtKedures with momentum-driven emissions. In such cases the capture devices must be placed to rake advantage of this momentum. For example, a spray paint booth would have the exhaust location downstream of the painting location, most likely at the back of the booth. The capture devices in the back wall should be suitable to reduce the momenriim of the emitted particles in such a way that they are not reflected back into the work area. Floor exhaust should be able to keep the heavier particles dowm so that they cannot be a source for secondary emissions. 

Very good results have been achieved with exhausts located on both sides of the contaminant, with one opening between the operator and the contami-... 

AUTOMATIC EXTRACTION UNIT TURBINE - Bleeds off part of the main steam flow at one, two, or three points. Valved partitions between selected stages control the extracted steam pressure at the desired level. When extracted steam flowing through the unit does not produce enough shaft power to meet the demand, more steam flows through the turbine to exhaust. Located between steam supply and process steam headers. 

An appropriate general ventilation system (see C4 below) with air intakes and exhausts located so as to avoid intake of contaminated air (194) ... 

SUCTION FIRING. In the suction method, the air and entrained coal are drawn through the pulverizer under negative pressure by an exhauster located on the outlet side of the pulverizer. With this arrangement the fan handles a mixture of coal and air, and distribution of the mixture to more than one burner is attained by a distributor beyond the fan discharge. 

Fossil Fuel-Fired Plants. In modem, fossil fuel-fired power plants, the Rankine cycle typically operates as a closed loop. In describing the steam—water cycle of a modem Rankine cycle plant, it is easiest to start with the condensate system (see Fig. 1). Condensate is the water that remains after the steam employed by the plant s steam turbines exhausts into the plant s condenser, where it is collected for reuse in the cycle. Many modem power plants employ a series of heat exchangers to boost efficiency. As a first step, the condensate is heated in a series of heat exchangers, usually sheU-and-tube heat exchangers, by steam extracted from strategic locations on the plant s steam turbines (see HeaT-EXCHANGETECHNOLOGy). 

Unfortunately, there is a significant disadvantage resulting from appHcation of insect-resist agents from dyebaths it is impossible to ensure 100% exhaustion (transfer of pesticide from dyebath to fiber) and as a result, there is inevitably some environmental contamination. The extent of concern with this release of insect-resist agent depends on the spectmm of activity of the agent. If it is a broad-spectmm insecticide, especially one with reasonable persistence and lipophilic character, it is Hable to be reasonably toxic to aquatic insects and invertebrates, especially in certain environmental locations where... 

An interesting and novel use of a soHd desiccant, the reduction of cold condensate corrosion in automotive exhaust systems, illustrates a hybrid closed—open system. Internal corrosion occurs in mufflers when the water vapor in the exhaust condenses after the engine is turned off and the muffler cools. Carbon dioxide dissolves in the condensate to form an acidic soup. In an essentially closed static drying step, an acid- and heat-resistant desiccant located in the muffler adsorbs water vapor from the exhaust gas as it cools to prevent formation of corrosive acidic condensate. When the engine is restarted, the system becomes open, and the desiccant is regenerated by the hot exhaust gas to be ready for the next cooldown step (19). 

Some 50% of all nylon is in the form of carpets almost exlusively colored with acid dyes, and around 50% of the carpet manufacturing industry is located in the United States. The acid dyes from Group 1 are those most widely used because they exhibit the rapid diffusion needed to penetrate the bulky yams used in carpets, especially bulk continuous filament yam used in tufted constmctions, with high exhaustion. Their wetfastness properties are generally adequate for most oudets. 

Sulfur oxides resulting from fuel sulfur combustion often inhibit catalyst performance in Regions II, III, and a portion of Region IV (see Fig. 7) depending on the precious metals employed in the catalyst and on the air/fuel ratio. Monolithic catalysts generally recover performance when lower sulfur gasoline is used so the inhibition is temporary. Pd is more susceptible than Rh or Pt. The last is the most resistant. Pd-containing catalysts located in hotter exhaust stream locations, ie, close to the exhaust manifold, function with Httie sulfur inhibition (72—74). 

The function of the oxygen sensor and the closed loop fuel metering system is to maintain the air and fuel mixture at the stoichiometric condition as it passes into the engine for combustion ie, there should be no excess air or excess fuel. The main purpose is to permit the TWC catalyst to operate effectively to control HC, CO, and NO emissions. The oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust system ahead of the catalyst so that it is exposed to the exhaust of aU cylinders (see Fig. 4). The sensor analyzes the combustion event after it happens. Therefore, the system is sometimes caUed a closed loop feedback system. There is an inherent time delay in such a system and thus the system is constandy correcting the air/fuel mixture cycles around the stoichiometric control point rather than maintaining a desired air/fuel mixture. 

The main converter, which is located downstream of the EHC, heats to functional temperature much more quickly because of catalytic combustion of exhaust gases that would otherwise pass unconverted through the catalyst during the cold start period. The EHC theoretical power required for a reference case (161) was 1600 watts to heat an EHC to 400°C in 15 s in order to initiate the catalytic reactions and obtain the resultant exotherm of the chemical energy contained in the exhaust. Demonstrations have been made of energy requirements of 15—20 Wh and 2 to 3 kW of power (160,161). Such systems have achieved nonmethane HC emissions below the California ULEV standard of 0.025 g/km. The principal issues of the EHC are system durabihty, battery life, system complexity, and cost (137,162—168). 

Dust entrained in the exit-gas stream is customarily removed in cyclone cohectors. This dust may be discharged back into the process or separately cohected. For expensive materials or extremely fine particles, bag collectors may follow a cyclone collector, provided fabric temperature stability is not hmiting. When toxic gases or solids are present, the exit gas is at a high temperature, the gas is close to saturation as from a steam-tube diyer, or gas recirculation in a sealed system is involved, wet scrubbers may be used independently or following a cyclone. Cyclones and bag collec tors in diying applications frequently require insulation and steam tracing. The exhaust fan should be located downstream from the cohection system.
