A well-designed local industrial exhaust system can effectively control harmful fumes, dust, and other airborne hazards. Unlike general ventilation, which circulates air throughout a space, local exhaust ventilation targets specific contaminants at their source. This direct approach is crucial for protecting worker health and complying with safety regulations. Today, we will discuss the key components …

Gas turbines are powerful machines that generate electricity and drive industrial processes. They work by burning fuel to create hot gases that spin a turbine, and like any engine, they produce a lot of heat. That’s where ventilation systems come in – they keep gas turbines running smoothly by removing excess heat and ensuring optimal …
