Control of the environment in electrical equipment rooms in the metals industry

Abstract

The author examines the most successful methods for ventilation of large electrical equipment enclosures in the metals industry. He notes that sufficient technical improvements in ventilation equipment design have occurred in recent years to mandate increased attention to this subject. Recent innovations include self-cleaning, high-efficiency filters; packaged ventilation units with capacities as high as 250000 CFMp; advanced corrosion protection systems; and improved heating and cooling technologies.<>
