Local Exhaust Devices

Local exhaust ventilation systems are often the most cost-effective way to control air pollutants and excessive heat in a workplace.  By capturing contaminants at their source, these systems ensure a safer environment for workers, minimize health risks, and help you comply with industry standards.  At IVT Engineering Corporation, we design and implement custom local exhaust systems that provide optimal efficiency and significant cost savings.

The Importance of Proper Design

The effectiveness of a local exhaust system depends heavily on its design and how it's integrated into your process.  We pay careful attention to:

  • Hood Design and Position: The geometry and placement of the hood are critical for capturing pollutants effectively.
  • Airflow Optimization: We design systems to optimize exhaust airflow, which directly reduces your operating costs.
  • Temperature and Source Characteristics: We consider the unique properties of the contaminants to ensure the system performs reliably.

Poorly designed or maintained systems can lead to structural damage, negative health effects, and decreased worker productivity. We ensure your system is engineered for maximum performance and reliability.

Hood Types

We work with various types of exhaust hoods, selecting the best option for your specific application.

Enclosing Hoods: These are the most effective and economical for contaminant control.  They minimize the effect of room air currents and require lower exhaust rates.

Non-Enclosing Hoods: Used when a process must remain open for access.  These require careful attention to airflow patterns to ensure effective capture.

The more of the process that can be enclosed, the less airflow is required, leading to even greater savings.

Retrofitting and Upgrades

If you have an existing exhaust system, we can provide a complete overhaul to increase its efficiency and reduce your maintenance and operating costs.  You may not be getting the full value out of the equipment you already have, and we can help you unlock its full potential.

We are committed to providing a successful and reliable project.  Our engineers would be pleased to discuss your application and assist you with your ventilation challenges.  Contact our office at 416-663-0994 or via email to get started in the right direction.
