Local Exhaust Ventilation Design
What is LEV?
Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is an engineered control system designed to extract dust, vapours, and fumes at their point of origin, thereby reducing the exposure of workers to airborne contaminants.
LEV System Components
LEV systems comprise several key components: Well designed hoods, ducting, air cleaners, and fans. Each component is an essential part of the engineering control measure.
Component Selections
Choosing the right components for an LEV system is critical for optimal performance. Through consideration of the contaminants and the process, we aim to provide the most effective component selections.
Exposure Risk Assessment
Conducting an exposure risk assessment is crucial for identifying hazardous work processes that generate harmful dusts, mists, vapours, gases, and fumes. These contaminants can compromise air quality and pose significant health risks.
Hood Design
The chosen hood type plays a large role in the effectiveness of an LEV system. Hoods can be Enclosing, Receiving or Capturing & we aim to provide clarity guidance on the available options as well as custom hood designs where required.
Mechanical Specification
Our specifications offer installation contractors a complete design solution, featuring pre-selected and precisely designed components, enabling them to install your LEV system efficiently and with minimal snagging.
