1. Airflow technologies to achieve and maintain a safe, healthy, productive and comfortable indoor environment in premises and occupied enclosures where this need is determined not only by human occupancy, normal human activities, and construction and finishing materials, but also and often primarily by other factors, for example production processes.
2. Process air technology such as air and gas purification, drying, or pneumatic conveying.
3. Safety air technology, including risk assessment, to minimize damages and hazards caused by accidents, fire and explosion It is typical for industrial premises to have, in one space, zones with different target levels. The target levels may be determined for the whole area or locally. Often only a part of the space 16. quires controlling of the indoor environment parameters. In addition to the main controlled zone there may be one or more local controlled zones with different target levels tran the main consoled zone.
Except measures to control he indoor environment, Industrial Air Technology includes also measures
to prevent harmful emissions from industrial processes to be discharged outdoors, such as conveying and cleaning technologies and controlled discharge of exhaust to outdoors. Other systems are included, such as drying (pulp drying, milk drying etc.), process ventilation and safety air systems.
The scope of industrial air technology includes premises other than traditional industrial process buildings, such as hospitals, underground car parks, mining, railroad and vehicle tunnels, livestock
buildings, and other similar premises and processes.
