In many others, especially in developing areas, there is still a lot of work to do to push progress and better protect people and their health.<br \/>\nHowever, it is duty of the owners to guarantee a comfortable microclimate &#8220;that creates a feeling of satisfaction towards the surrounding environment in most of the subjects&#8221;. We therefore speak of a <strong>condition of comfort.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The factors of the comfort condition<\/h2>\n<p>The factors that play a crucial role in achieving a comfort condition are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thermo-hygrometric wellbeing<\/li>\n<li>Acoustic wellness<\/li>\n<li>Bright wellness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to some studies, the <strong>thermo-hygrometric<\/strong> <strong>well-being<\/strong> is achieved depending on the relationship between <strong>subjective variables<\/strong> and <strong>environmental variables<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe environmental ones are within our sphere of interest and include all the factors that can absolutely be managed and controlled during the building design and afterward by installing adequate <strong>ventilation systems<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<strong>Temperature, relative humidity, and airspeed <\/strong>thus contribute to create a healthy and comfortable environment and they are included within the sphere of <strong>air quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>The air quality in the workplace<\/h2>\n<p>In closed workplaces, the air undergoes <strong>alternations<\/strong> from both a physical, chemical and biological point of view.<br \/>\nIn other words, the type of production and the human body affect the <strong>quality of the air<\/strong>: fumes, powders, chemicals gases, processing residues, but also unpleasant odors, sweat, and biological toxins accumulate in the environment. It becomes crucial to clean up the air in correct ways and times.<\/p>\n<h2>Calculate the correct air exchanges<\/h2>\n<p>It is estimated that each adult\u00a0consumes about 250\/300ml of oxygen per hour for each Kg of weight and eliminates the same amount of carbon dioxide to which it must be added 30\/40gr of water vapor.<br \/>\nIt follows that in the workplace must have at least <strong>10m3 of fresh air<\/strong> renewed for each worker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Air exchange<\/strong> refers to the ratio between the volume of fresh air supplied by the ventilation and the volume of the environment, carried out in a certain time (typically in one hour).<\/p>\n<p>In the civil sector, air exchanges should take place with a <strong>minimum of 1 up to a maximum of 30 per hour<\/strong> in particular situations such as the presence of fumes or dust or crowded environments such as discotheques.<br \/>\nOver 90 exchanges per hour may be needed in the agricultural\/livestock sector.<\/p>\n<h2>Ventilation systems for industrial environments<\/h2>\n<p>Where natural ventilation is not enough to guarantee minimum air exchanges for the worker&#8217;s well-being, it is necessary to equip the building with a modern air ventilation system and use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pericoli.com\/en\/mechanical-ventilation-system\/ventilation-systems-livestock-and-agriculture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>exhaust fans<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The exhaust fans are special fans which are installed on the external walls of the shed and\/or building whose main task is to absorb the hot air from the environment and release fresh air and facilitate the exchange of air.<\/p>\n<p>In the wide range of fans offered by Termotecnica Pericoli, the product that best suits this type of installation is our <strong>EWD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The EWD extractor is available in 26 &#8220;, 31&#8221; and 37 &#8220;versions.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with direct drive, it guarantees <strong>excellent reliability<\/strong> and a substantial reduction in maintenance (compared to traditional belt tension fans) as well as <strong>greater efficiency<\/strong> thanks to the reduction of energy losses. This results in reduced electrical costs and savings on maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p>The completely redesigned opening system has allowed a significant <strong>reduction in noise levels<\/strong> making it suitable for installations where there is a strong presence of workers.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>patented shutter opening system<\/strong> and the <strong>BESS Lab certification<\/strong> are just the cherry on the cake for a product with excellent performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Workplace air exchanges are an important factor because the quality, wellbeing, and productivity of workers depend also on good ventilation.
