Talk:Ventilation
How is this being integrated with the OBI designs.
Wondering as in Florida HVAC is essentially life support with the heat and humidity, and the same would go for the more "full on tropics". Dry areas can use Evaporative Coolers, but can also benefit from this.
I want the info before i dive into this so as to reduce Redundancy Waste

One project to do is to document the Construction/Industrial Safety Aspect of this too; Fume Hoods etc
Learned about them a bit with my OSHA-30 Class, and use ~~Crappy Versions of~~ the technology in my welding class
Especially with welding and cutting it is a serious health risk if this isn't implemented!
Wikipedia itself is kind of lacking in this area so i need to cover that side too
The OSHA General Overview Page on Ventilation
Don't entirely have the time for it now, but it will be good to do.
I also have a plot for Central Fume Extraction + Treatment that i would probably use in the Fleming Island Makerspace to not fill public spaces with nasties and to have a better solution that just venting it outside as some do!
It would essentially have PVC pipe "ducts" (assuming cold + 'non-pvc pipe ruining gas/vapors), leading to a central Duct Fan + Activated Carbon Adsorber + vacuum cleaner based Cyclonic Separator and/or Wet Scrubber and/or Electrostatic Separator and finally a HEPA Filter / ULPA Filter
So Fumes go in (From 3D Printers in Modular Enclosures , Laser Cutters , Spray Booths (Probably will have basic filtration on-unit for spray itself (fabric or Water Curtain etc), but use duct for Solvent Vapors / Spray Can Propellant ), Fume Hoods etc), Dust Free and Pure Air, as well as Contaminated (Activated) Carbon, and/or Industrial Wastewater , Waste Dust / Dryer Lint , and occasionally Spent Filters albeit not often due to cyclonic separation come out
It depends on input, but if Laser Cutting PVC there would be Hydrochloric Acid being produced in the wet scrubber. This should be able to be dumped in conventional systems via Dilute and Dispose (especially if cutting of pvc is infrequent) although need to consult various resources on that. I assume Plastic 3D Printing Fumes are various hydrocarbons, so unless Fluoropolymers / Chloropolymers are used, it should just be hydrocarbons that will be adsorbed by the (activated) carbon and can be cleanly burned .
Dichloromethane / Chloromethane etc may pose issues
All in all it should produce little, if any, Hazardous Waste , and maybe even yield value added products such as Nitric Acid / Hydrochloric Acid , Charcoal / Petcoke like Spent Activated Carbon for usage as fuel, etc
Also it's modular nature would allow one to use the scrubber module as a whole, or just sections of it (The Cyclonic Separator + Filter) as an Air Purifier etc
I know the Safe Animal Shelter has a huge amount of dust / pet allergens in the air, so something like that would be of use there i'd imagine!
To get back to the point of this, i have had stuff related to all this in my tabs for a while, so i am doing a little bit of wiki page creation/writing, but the rest will be just summarized here in case anyone else sees it and can work on it before me and/or so if i disappear, or i forget about it, it is documented somewhere.
