Commonly
available practical methods of plants ventilation are:
* Exhaust fans or Power Roof
Ventilators (PRVs).
To do a satisfactory
job of eliminating excessively hot air, it is usually essential to have
powered wall and/or roof exhausters. These fans should also help to
control air pressure within the building whether it be negative or
positive pressure.
* Supply Fans or PRVs.
A large number of
buildings use exhaust PRVs to exhaust fumes, smoke, dust or other
contaminants unavoidable in the operation of the business. As a result,
these buildings are frequently under a severe negative pressure. The
solution to the problem of this kind is usually found in the use of
supply fans or "make-up" air ventilators.
