Questions our customer gets from their customers
1. What is ventilation in industrial facilities?
Ventilation is the process in which warm, humid and polluted air is removed from a room and replaced with fresh air. In industrial facilities, this typically happens via a mechanical ventilation system, which ensures controlled air exchange.
Industrial ventilation is not only important for ensuring fresh air – it also plays a crucial role in terms of working environment, process stability and safety. At konfAir, we have extensive experience in supplying filters and solutions for ventilation systems in the industry, where there are high demands for both air quality and energy efficiency.
2. Why is industrial ventilation important for the working environment and production?
Industrial ventilation is essential to ensure a healthy and safe working environment. When air pollution from, for example, dust, fumes, smoke or heat is not effectively removed, it can lead to health problems, reduced productivity and poor indoor climate.
A well-designed industrial ventilation system ensures:
- Good air quality and comfort for employees
- Effective removal of process emissions (e.g. dust, gases and particles)
- Prevention of heat build-up and moisture damage
Ventilation and filtration are closely connected. A well-functioning ventilation system must be equipped with the right filters to capture unwanted particles and protect both people and machines. At konfAir, we supply filters for ventilation systems that are optimized for industrial conditions.
3. How do you choose the right ventilation filter?
Choosing the right ventilation filter depends on the type of air to be handled and the requirements of the industry. In industrial settings, it is crucial to select a filter that both ensures effective particle filtration or gas filtration and contributes to low pressure drop and stable operation.
Important considerations:
- Which area does the air come from – is it comfort air from people (e.g. offices, schools and hospitals) or industrial air that may also contain other types of dust?
- What filter class is required? (e.g. ePM1, ePM10, HEPA)
- Are there requirements for food approval, antistatic materials, moisture resistance or high temperature resistance?
- What is the air volume and pressure drop in the system?
At konfAir, we provide advice on the selection of ventilation filters, including pocketfilters, panel filters, compact filters and carbon filters – adjusted to your system and operating conditions. We can also offer customised filter solutions if standard filters do not meet the requirements.
4. What is the difference between mechanical and natural ventilation in the industry?
The difference between mechanical and natural ventilation lies in how the air is exchanged:
- Natural ventilation occurs through windows, vents and thermal buoyancy. It is a simple and energy-saving solution, but can be insufficient in industrial buildings with high demands for air quality and air exchange.
- Mechanical ventilation uses fans and ducts to control the airflow. This provides controlled and consistent air exchange, regardless of season or weather conditions, and is often necessary in production halls, warehouses, technical facilities, offices, hospitals and schools.
At konfAir, we support mechanical ventilation systems with high-quality filters that are adapted to both energy needs and air requirements.
