Flexible ventilation systems

The parts of local ventilation systems, situated inside rooms, that influence the flow field are described here. This presumes that the inlet and outlet openings are properly connected to duct systems either directly or through flexible connections (tubes). These ducts and tubes and other parts of importance for the function of these systems are described in other chapters. 

All local ventilation systems can, in principle (and many are in practice), be manufactured for use in one or more of three different modes fixed, flexible, and mobile. 

Mobile exhaust or supply systems also include portable systems—for example, the systems consisting of a fan and a flexible tube used in construction work, either for exhausting or supplying air in work areas without any ventilation system. The work area must have some type of connection, such as windows, to the surroundings. 

The primary components of LVHV ventilation systems are the exhaust nozzles, flexible hose, fixed duct, air cleaner, and the exhauster and motor. Each of these is discussed below. Figures 10.23,10.27, and 10.28 illustrate LVHV nozzles. Figures 10.29 and 10.30 illustrate other system components and installations. 

Because of obvious (and not-so-obvious) dangers involved, it is the teacher who does the firing in the activities in Chapter 4. In schools, electric kilns are usually chosen for firing because fuel-fired kilns require wood, natural gas, oil, coke, coal, or charcoal as fuel, as well as chimney ventilation systems. Electric kilns also require ventilation systems, such as negative pressure systems and a canopy hood, but the placement is more flexible than room placement for a fuel-fired kiln with a chimney ventilation system. 

ACT introduced the 357 Flexible Biomolecular Synthesizer in 1993.The Model 357 FBS is also a two arm robotic system, with a reaction block that incorporates thirty six 9.0-mL reaction wells and a single 600-mL well. The larger vessel permits the spht and mix technique for the generation of peptide combinatorial libraries.The scale range is 5 to 250 pmol and 9 mmol for the 9.0-mL and 600-mL reactor, respectively. The Model 357 FBS also has a variable speed orbital nnixer, nitrogen assisted bottom filtration and a built-in ventilation system. 

Cell floors, gangways, and spillage containment areas are constructed with smooth, sloping floors so that any mercury can be easily recovered or wash water can be conveniently collected for treatment. The supply pipes run under the cells and are connected to them by flexible, insulating connections. The heat given off by the cells and the decomposers is removed by a ventilation system.

AQS is a flexible system that can easily adapt to each type of car. The type of interface can be chosen digital, quasi-analogue (air-quality levels), or analogue. We use a data telegram PWM protocol or any bus definition. The motor of the ventilation flap can even be controlled directly. The customer can chose 12 or 5 V supply, and different water protection levels. 

MOPP 3 Soldiers wear the protective mask and hood. Again, flexibility is built into the system to allow the soldier relief at MOPP 3. Particularly in hot weather, soldiers may open the overgarment jacket and roll the protective mask hood for ventilation but the trousers remain closed. 

One of the potential advantages of metal stents over the plastic tube stents is the possibility of placement under conscious sedation by flexible endoscopy or fluoroscopy only. However, for a safe and durable access to the tracheobronchial system, the possibility for fine adjustments of the inserted stents, additional therapeutic measures, and permanent control of ventilation, most interventionists prefer to carry out stent implantations under general anesthesia and with the use of a rigid ventilating bronchoscope. Such a setting enables high frequency Venturi jet ventilation.
