3、plants, and power plants. HVAC systems provide the process envi-ronment (including temperature, humidity, air motion, air quality,noise, and cleanliness) to facilitate industrial processes and providefor the health, safety, and comfort of personnel.Many industrial buildings require large amounts of

4、energy, inboth manufacturing and maintaining building environmental condi-tions. This chapter provides system and building design guidance forenergy conservation by using insulation, ventilation, and waste heatrecovery.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTSTypical temperatures, relative humidities, and specific fi

5、ltrationrequirements for storage, manufacture, and processing of variouscommodities are listed in Table 1. Requirements for a specific appli-cation may differ from those in the table.Industrial processes or regulatory requirements may change overtime; thus, systems should be able to provide for futu

6、re requirementsto the extent this is practical.Outdoor design requirements and indoor temperature, humidity,cleanliness, noise, and allowable variations should be established byagreement with the owner. A compromise between requirements forproduct or process conditions and those for comfort may opti

7、mizequality and production costs.An environment that allows a worker to safely perform assignedduties without fatigue from the effects of temperature and humiditymay enhance performance.Special Warning: Some industrial spaces may contain flamma-ble, combustible, and/or toxic concentrations of vapors

8、 or dustsunder either normal or abnormal conditions. In spaces such as these,there are safety issues that this chapter may not completely address.Special precautions must be taken in accordance with requirementsof recognized authorities such as the National Fire Protection Asso-ciation (NFPA), the O

9、ccupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Inall situations, engineers, designers, and installers who encounterconflicting codes and standards must defer to the code or standardthat best addresses personnel safety.2. PROCESS AND PRODUCT

10、REQUIREMENTSAn industrial product or process may require control of the indoorenvironment if it affects one or more of the following factors.Rate of Chemical ReactionSome processes require temperature and humidity control to reg-ulate chemical reactions. In rayon manufacturing, for example, pulpshee

11、ts are conditioned, cut to size, and mercerized. The temperaturedirectly controls the rate of reaction, and the relative humidity main-tains the solution at a constant strength and rate of evaporation.In drying varnish, oxidizing depends on temperature. Desirabletemperatures vary with the type of va

12、rnish. High relative humidityretards surface oxidation and allows internal gases to escape aschemical oxidizers cure the varnish from within. Thus, a bubble-free surface is maintained with a homogeneous film throughout.Rate of CrystallizationThe cooling rate determines the size of crystals formed fr

13、om asaturated solution. Both temperature and relative humidity affect thecooling rate and change the solution density by evaporation.In coating pans for pills, a heavy sugar solution is added to thetumbling mass. As water evaporates, sugar crystals cover each pill.Moving the correct quantity of air

14、over the pills at the correct tem-perature and relative humidity forms a smooth, opaque coating. Ifcooling and drying are too slow, the coating will be rough, translu-cent, and have an unsatisfactory appearance. If the cooling and dry-ing are too fast, the coating will chip through to the interior.R

15、ate of Biochemical ReactionFermentation requires both temperature and humidity control toregulate the rate of biochemical reactions. Many fermentation ves-sels are jacketed to maintain consistent internal temperatures. Fer-mentors are held at different temperatures, depending on the processinvolved.

16、 In brewing, typical fermentor temperatures range from 45to 52F. Because of vessel jacketing, tight control of room temper-ature may not be required. Usually, space temperatures should beheld as close as practical to the process temperature inside the fer-mentation vessel.Designing such spaces shoul

17、d take into account gases and otherby-products generated by fermentation. Typically, carbon dioxide isthe most prevalent by-product of fermentation in brewing and pres-ents the greatest potential hazard if a fermentor overpressurizes theseal. Provide adequate ventilation in case carbon dioxide escap

18、es theprocess.In biopharmaceutical processes, hazardous organisms can escapea fermentor; design of spaces using those fermentors should allowcontainment. Heat gains from steam-sparged vessels should also beaccounted for in such spaces.Product Accuracy and UniformityAir temperature and cleanliness af

36、dly influence pro-duction rate and product mass, strength, appearance, and quality inmanufacturing or processing hygroscopic materials such as textiles,paper, wood, leather, and tobacco. Moisture in vegetable and animalmaterials (and some minerals) reaches equilibrium with moisture inthe surrounding

37、 air by regain (the percentage of absorbed moisturein a material compared to that materials bone-dry mass). For exam-ple, if a material sample with a mass of 5.5 lb has a mass of only5 lb after thorough drying under standard conditions of 220 to230F, the mass of absorbed moisture is 0.5 lb, 10% of t

38、he sam-ples bone-dry mass. Therefore, the regain is 10%.Table 2 lists typical regain values for materials at 75F in equilib-rium at various relative humidities. Temperature change affects therate of absorption or drying, which generally varies with the thick-ness, density, and nature of the material

39、. Sudden temperature changescause slight changes in regain even with fixed relative humidity, butthe major change occurs as a function of relative humidity.Hygroscopic materials deliver sensible heat to the air in anamount equal to the latent heat of the absorbed moisture.
