Ventilation
Ventilation is essential in confined spaces when the air quality is unsafe or when hot work creates dangerous fumes. Properly ventilating these spaces can be challenging, and it might be required to divide the work area from the larger environment to improve airflow or ensure workers use respiratory protection in addition to the ventilation.
-
Key considerations
Key considerations include ensuring that the fan is appropriately sized for the space, that exhaust points are located away from entry areas, and that ventilation is continuous during operations. Workers must be trained on the use of the equipment, and respiratory protection may still be required if ventilation is not sufficient. Regular monitoring of air quality and proper communication methods are also essential for safety.
Before entering any confined space, the air inside the space must be checked using a 4 gas mix detector. Ventilation must continue throughout the confined space work.
These meters check oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide levels, and check for the presence of flammable vapors in the atmosphere.
- Oxygen: levels must be between 19.5% and 23.5%
- Carbon monoxide: the permissible exposure level over eight hours is 50 ppm and the ceiling is 200 ppm
- Hydrogen sulfide: the permissible exposure level over eight hours is 10 ppm
- Any flammable vapors must be below 10% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) before entry.
Applications of Explosion-Proof Portable Ventilation Extraction Fans with Ducting
-
Confined Space Welding & Hot Work
Confined space welding produces hazardous fumes, excessive heat, and potential ignition sources, making proper ventilation critical. Explosion-proof fans remove toxic welding fumes, reduce heat buildup, and ensure a safe working atmosphere.
Key Applications
- Prevents the accumulation of flammable vapours inside storage tanks and process vessels.
- Extracts hazardous gases from pipelines containing hydrocarbons or chemical residues.
- Ensures safe ventilation in enclosed compartments where welding sparks and gas vapours could ignite.
- Removes metal fumes, flammable dust, and gases from underground welding and cutting activities.
-
Oil & Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry involves handling volatile hydrocarbons, making proper ventilation essential to prevent explosions. Portable Ex extraction fans are used for ventilation during maintenance, shutdowns, and emergency operations.
Key Applications
- Removes hazardous vapours from crude oil, gasoline, and chemical storage tanks before worker entry.
- Ensures safe conditions when welding, grinding, or cutting inside pipelines.
- Ventilates enclosed compartments where explosive gases could accumulate.
- Prevents vapor buildup in enclosed workspaces near flammable gas lines.
-
Petrochemical & Chemical Processing Plants
Chemical plants handle volatile substances that pose fire and explosion risks. Portable explosion-proof fans provide localized ventilation for areas where flammable solvents, dust, or vapors are present.
Key Applications
- Prevents the accumulation of toxic or explosive vapours.
- Extracts solvent fumes and chemical vapours in enclosed spaces.
- Provides airflow in confined equipment rooms with hazardous atmospheres.
- Ensures safe ventilation before worker entry into confined processing tanks.
-
Mining & Tunnelling Operations
Mines and underground tunnels have limited natural airflow and often contain hazardous gases such as methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide.
Key Applications
- Provides airflow in confined shafts and tunnels where gas buildup is a concern.
- Removes hydrogen gas emitted from lead-acid and lithium-ion battery charging areas.
- Ensures proper extraction of metal fumes, gases, and dust in mining maintenance work.
-
Shipbuilding, Marine, & Offshore Facilities
Ships and offshore platforms have confined spaces where flammable fumes from fuel, paints, and welding activities can accumulate. Explosion-proof portable fans provide essential ventilation for safe operations.
Key Application
- Removes residual fuel vapors before maintenance.
- Extracts hazardous fumes and ensures airflow in confined compartments.
- Controls dust and fumes from welding, grinding, and painting.
- Used in enclosed areas such as pump rooms, drilling platforms, and gas compression modules.
-
Grain Silos & Food Processing Plants
Flour mills, sugar refineries, and grain silos generate combustible dust, which can ignite under the right conditions. Explosion-proof fans help reduce dust concentration and prevent ignition.
Key Application
- Provides airflow for workers entering confined grain storage bins.
- Extracts airborne dust from flour, starch, and sugar processing areas.
- Reduces dust accumulation in conveyor and hopper systems.
