Course Detail: FIV - Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation
ACGIH's Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation is a course that covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air
- Industrial process exhaust system design (including ACGIH calculation methods)
- Make-up and supply air ventilation systems
- Dilution ventilation systems
- Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, and fittings
- Fans and air cleaners (including Fan Laws)
- Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems
- Hands-on testing and measurements
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and select appropriate ventilation systems for process emission/exposure control
- Measure and evaluate the performance of ventilation systems (flow, pressure, horsepower)
- Design and evaluate dilution ventilation systems
- Design/re-design local exhaust systems using state-of-the-art design procedures
- Design, operate, and modify hoods appropriate to participants' needs
- Critically review ventilation system plans, drawings, and specifications of engineers and architects
