Airow tips
Below are some techniques that make a dramatic difference in congested areas of your facility. Treat air like water, and scoop, direct,
and channel it to where it is needed most.
• Make sure people are not hidden behind structures that would block airow. This may seem obvious, but work areas are routinely
blocked by shelving, crates, and machinery.
• Position large obstructions so that their smallest proles are perpendicular to the direction of air movement. For example, a sheet
metal press brake might have ve times the frontal area if it is facing the airow rather than if it is turned sideways.
• Wherever possible, position welding curtains, partitions, sheet materials, etc., to scoop air into the work area rather than deect it.
• Take advantage of the air moving near the oor by creating ground level openings in your work area. It is better to have a work area
blocked by materials stacked to the ceiling with an opening below than to have low stacks 3 ft (0.9 m) to 6 ft (1.8 m) high sitting on
the oor.
