Extracting exhaust fumes
Case Studies
Protecting students from exhaust fumes in large TAFE automotive workshop
Challenge
Our client was working with a TAFE which runs specialised automotive courses and has a large automotive workshop with many bays. They were looking for solutions to effectively extract exhaust fumes to ensure safe levels of airborne contaminants in the workshop, and keep students safe.
Solution
We recommended the Aerservices ARHV hose and reel, which can be ceiling or wall mounted for convenience storage and reach. For this job, we supplied a 10m long, Ø125mm, high temp (up to 180oC) anti-crush TGA flex hose, and these hose reels are made with reinforced steel and come with a built-in extraction fan. In this instance the TAFE was requesting 3-phase power, but options can come in single phase too. Each hose reel comes with a standard BGNP rubber nozzle to fit most exhaust pipe sizes (but other sizes and types are available)
Satisfaction
The students are now able to take advantage of the retractable hose reels that position a nozzle over or close to their idling vehicles' exhausts, with the fumes being safely extracted up and away.
Diesel exhaust fume extraction for Pilbara train maintenance workshop
Our client, one of the large mining companies in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, has a local rail maintenance facility for its trains. They required an effective system to extract away the diesel fumes when the locomotives are in the workshop for maintenance. We recommended Aerservice Equipments’ ARHMV Vehicle Exhaust Fume Extraction Hose Reel - an hose and reel system with a motorised retraction and a fan, together with a 10 metre TGA hose (Ø100mm).
The ARH hose and reels are designed for the localized extraction of vehicle exhaust fumes, and can be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, or can be fitted into a sliding track system.
Dust fume and vehicle exhaust extraction system for aggressive gouging
Challenge
Wirtgen is a large construction equipment machinery supplier (part of the John Deere Group), and recently built a large maintenance facility in Guildford, Perth. Dynamic Engineering Australia was asked to consult in the initial stages of the design of dust fume and vehicle extraction systems to serve the aggressive gouging areas proposed for this site.
After several months of detailed design and many review phases, we eventually recommended several welding fume, vehicle exhaust fume, and extraction systems. All these systems were primarily supplied by Dynamic Engineering Australia in conjunction with other key Wirtgen preferred suppliers.
Solution
Several retractable fume and vehicle extraction arms with long extensions were provided to enable the most variable and versatile pick-up points possible.
Many of these arms in the large vehicle bay area were designed for large diameter-using metal duct and flexible duct, so required large truss or Hercules extension arms, with braking systems to support the complete system.
Due to the size and versatility of the equipment being maintained on the site, most of the vehicle exhaust extraction arms needed to be at high level and needed to be provided with high temperature flexible hose.
In some cases, retractable flexible duct supports were required to ensure the ducting was out of the way unless needed.
All of the systems required high quality, medium pressure extraction fans, which were also provided by Dynamic Engineering Australia.
Many of these were roof-mounted and fitted with discharge silencers and goose-neck stacks at roof level.
Most of the welding fume and gouging systems using retractable arms were ducted into Donaldson dust extraction systems along with ground-mounted fans and discharge silencers.
Satistfaction
The complete system was installed by Aerison in conjunction with Dynamic Engineering Australia. This project was an overall success.
Economical ventilation equipment for whole of multi-storey apartment complex
Challenge
To supply our customer with suitable and economical ventilation equipment for this multi-storey apartment development in East Perth. The job included everything from the small individual kitchen and bathroom extraction units, to outside air fans for the air conditioning, through to the carpark extraction system.
Solution
We evaluated this project and compiled suitable products and lead times to suit the client's needs and requirements. We supplied a complete package of high quality, economical ventilation equipment to suit these requirements on time and budget.
Satisfaction
We saved our client time and money by providing the best products for each of the specific needs. Our ventilation products and systems for these apartments were installed on or under budget and with minimal work and stress for our client.
