Industrial Ventilation

What is industrial ventilation?

Industrial ventilation deals with the replacement of plant air with conditioned air to reduce the concentration of contaminants (dust, fumes, gases, microorganisms, vapors, etc.) or to modify the thermal condition of plant air (temperature, humidity, etc.).  The control of contaminants is typically referred to as indoor air quality (IAQ).
