Successful application of very high-velocity, low-volume local exff been reported by British investigators, which is of special interest to,| fronted with the control of dust from portable devices.11
Tables 9 and 10 are recommendations from the American Standardj tion on the fundamentals of exhaust systems.12
TABLE 9 Range of Capture Velocities
Condition of dispersion of contaminant
Released with no velocity into quiet air
Released at low velocity into mod erately still air
Active generation into zone of rapid air motion
Released at high initial velocity into zone of very rapid air motion
Examples
Evaporation from tanks; degreasing, plat ing, pickling
Spray booths; intermittent container filling; low speed conveyor transfers; welding
Spray painting in shallow booths; barrel fill ing; conveyor loading; crushers
Grinding; abrasive blasting, tumbling
