IAQ – Indoor Air Quality in Manufacturing

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Temperature, humidity, amount of outside air, mold and airborne contaminants all play a role in IAQ. This article from Industrial Safety and Hygiene news details how to identify and…

FABTECH 2021 IS HAPPENING

Once again Ventilation Pros and Keep The Heat will be exhibiting at FABTECH in Chicago IL.  This year we will be in McCormick Place Hall A , Booth A5746. We will be demonstrating our Keep The Heat Air to Air Heat Exchanger as well as our summer time solution with the High Velocity Fan.  We…

Industrial Ambient Air Filtration Systems

Industrial air cleaners are a valuable tool for capturing most airborne nuisance particulate.  Self-contained filtration units continuously pull contaminated air through multiple stages of highly efficient micro-glass filters. The filtered air is then re-circulated back into the working environment without the need for duct work. This results in a cleaner, healthier atmosphere for employees, while…

Summer Cooling In High-Temp Processes

If your manufacturing process produces heat, we can help.  Whether you are injection or roto-molding, baking/curing urethane parts, or extruding, your process creates heat.  If it’s 90 degrees outside, it’s over 100 degrees in your building.  This is an issue for your most valuable asset, your employees.  It doesn’t have to be.  We can help!…

CDC Recommendations as we move through SARS-CoV-2

Today I want to talk about Indoor Air Quality as we move on from Covid.  This doesn’t have to be complicated, and it’s not.  The old saying still holds true, “the solution to pollution is dilution”.  This is essentially what the CDC is recommending for Ventilation in Buildings  as we move forward.  Ventilation system upgrades…

Summer Cooling Strategy

Spring has sprung.  Flowers and trees are in bloom.  Here in Iowa, we are starting to see temperatures in the 70’s, and I’m loving it!  As we shift from winter time ventilation solutions, to summer time solutions, it’s important to understand the different strategies we use to create comfortable workplace environments.   Summer Strategy As…

Ionization Mitigates Pathogens

The DM-48 is designed to be mounted on the duct, indoor or outdoors Using weather tight seals, watertight flexible conduit, and carbon fiber brushes, these units are able to be mounted in any environment. FC24 & FC48 are Auto-Cleaning…

Combining Air Exchange with Filtration

When we look at solving indoor air quality issues (IAQ) we usually begin with Air Exchange.  Fresh air is superior to filtered air and will solve most, if not all, IAQ issues.  The catch is Air Exchange can get expensive and you will lose some climate over time.  If the space is large, and the…
