Car wash ventilation is a mandatory engineering design, without which the project will not be accepted. The legislation provides for ventilation in car services and any places where vehicles are serviced. The air in such rooms is polluted with special cleaning products, chemicals and exhausts. And in car washes, it’s also high humidity. Therefore, a powerful supply and exhaust ventilation system for a car wash is required.
Features of ventilation systems for car washes and car services
The high level of humidity and the saturation with particles of chemicals used for polishing and washing cars, the presence of exhaust gases and dirt from the bodies and wheels of cars - this is what air is in car washes and car repair shops.
Therefore, the supply and exhaust ventilation should also provide drainage and filtering the air in the room. Ventilation equipment for car washes and car services with ventilation systems is carried out using industrial plants. They have sufficient power, filter well and dry the air. The characteristics of the required equipment are approximately similar to the characteristics of ventilation systems for woodworking, electroplating, and welding workshops.
Requirements for car wash ventilation systems
- All joints, flanges, threads and seams on ventilation ducts in a car service should be well sealed and sealed;
- The car wash ventilation project provides for the installation of special protective ducts to prevent the effects of contaminated air and steam on metal components;
- All external and internal modules are equipped with drainage systems that prevent the accumulation of moisture inside;
- Fan blades and other metal parts in contact with the aggressive environment are treated with polymer and other anti-corrosion coatings;
- Ducts are made of plastic. They reduce the cost of the ventilation system for car washes and are not damaged by moisture, chemical fumes.
Features of ventilation maintenance in a car service
The operation of ventilation systems in car washes or garages takes place in heavy duty, in aggressive environments. Therefore, maintenance of such facilities must be carried out more often. The need for such measures is determined after conducting air tests in the car wash at the level of toxic and polluting substances.
If the car wash ventilation project also includes air conditioning, system maintenance becomes even more complicated.
