Question

Cantor Corp. is the country’s third largest manufacturer of garden furniture and accessories. They are planning to sell a new oak and cast iron bench that will be available in a choice of three colors. Part of the manufacturing process requires the iron handrails to be spray-painted. As this is a new process for the company, they will have to create workstations adequate to the task. Their first step is to design a local exhaust ventilation system.

1.       What special room conditions are critical for this type of hood?

1.       What factors determine the type of cleaner needed?

Management is concerned about their ability to supply adequate makeup air so that they don’t become air bound.

1.       What are the important features to keep in mind when designing a makeup air system?

Answer 1

Room should be sealed and should only have a ventilation shaft for creating proper ventilation inside the room. Sealing the room would help in reducing the overall dust particles.
Room should be very well connected to the exhaust system which is required to take out the pain particles while spring. Ducts should be used to carry out all the particles and other Residue generated by painting. Exhaust systems should be installed on outside of the building.

For determining the best available cleaner, cleaner with spray paint's base material dissolving capabilities should be used. Lena should be easier to collect after cleaning process as well as a draining of the cleaners should not create any problem in piping and drainage system.

For designing a makeup air system, cross ventilation inside painting room should be done. Multiple duct system is useful in this type of approach as one that is used as an exhaust and initial duct is used as the intake for the aar. This type of approach would maintain better air flow inside the painting room as well as it would take care from outside because of the intake air system should be installed on outside of the building.

By using specific approaches, painting room can be successfully build which would enable CantorCorp to use their manufacturing facility and to extend their capabilities to painting.
