Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to describe an innovative on-demand industrial ventilation and supply system for the automotive industry. Similar on-demand systems are already being used in the chemical, metal, and woodworking industries, achieving an average electricity savings of 68 percent over an unregulated system. After analyzing the performance and effectiveness of industrial ventilation systems in automobile manufacturing plants, we have identified several areas where ventilation systems are running even without a car present. To optimize the performance of ventilation, we propose that two on-demand systems be implemented (at toe-in and dynamic vehicle testing) to prevent exhaust fan activity in workplaces without car presence, and to ensure optimum ventilation at the same time. The recommended measures will ensure optimum performance of industrial ventilation while decreasing the necessary exhaust air volume, with a total saving of up to 50 percent of the air volume per production line. Additional benefits will be as follows: improved ventilation, less exhaust fumes inside the building, reduction of exhaust noise, significantly reduced cost of heating (because less air is moved out of the building), and the decrease of electricity consumption and electricity demand.
