| CONTROL & DESIGN STANDARDS: AIRFLOW | ||
Consider the airflow in a completely empty room. With nothing to block its path, the flow of air is steady and even. But with equipment and personnel inside, the airflow becomes violently disrupted. The result is a turbulent air pattern known as a "vortex". Acting like a miniature tornado, contaminants are drawn up into these turbulent areas and resettled widely throughout the room. Although not completely preventable, we can position people, equipment and work areas to minimize this threat. |
