Industrial air technology

When we compare industrial air technology (lAT) with comfort ventilation, we can see that technologically our task is very challenging. To fulfill all the needs of the end user is often impossible. If the lAQ is fulfilled, the amount of air may be so large that draftiness is too high. We must also have the courage to say what is possible and what is not. We also have to cteate tools to validate this.

Industrial air technology systems can be classified into two categories industrial ventilation and process air technology. A brief description of each type of system follows. More details are presented in Chapter 2. 

The project will be carried out in phases including the Fundamentals, Systems and Equipment, and Applications. The main target of the DGB project is to write an internationally accepted handbook, a much needed scientific reference, covering the whole field of industrial air technology with validated and updated knowledge, and through it to raise the level of industrial air technology worldwide. 

The Fundamentals book describes the basic theories and science behind the technical solutions for industrial air technology. Equipment-specific theories will be completed in the Systems and Equipment book. The Applications book will describe technical solutions for specific industrial sectors and technology areas, including design and construction methodology. 

The introductory chapter to the Design Guidebook describes why more attention should be paid to industrial air technology, the definition and purpose of industrial air technology, and the basic system principles. 

Design methodology is the systematic description of the technical design process of industrial air technology as an elementary part of the whole life cycle of the industrial plant. 

This chapter introduces the important topics of fluid flow, properties of gases, heat and mass transfer, and physical/chemical characteristics of contaminants. The aim is to assist all engaged in industrial air technology in understanding the physical background of the issues involved.

Four methods for industrial air technology design are presented in this chapter computational fluid dynamics (CFD), thermal building-dynamics simulation, multizone airflow models, and integrated airflow and thermal modeling. In addition to the basic physics of the problem, the methods, purpose, recommended applications, limitations, cost and effort, and examples are pro vided.
