4 unusual facts about ventilation


Cage home

Under the confined and crowded space, caged homes often have poor ventilation systems.

Hyperventilation

Hyperventilation occurs when the rate and quantity of alveolar ventilation of carbon dioxide exceeds body's production of carbon dioxide.

Ventilation

Mechanical ventilation, in medicine, using artificial methods to assist breathing

HVAC, the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort


Achaemenid architecture

The concept of the temple being used as a fire sanctuary, is however not likely because there is no general ventilation for smoke and gasses, and also that it differs so drastically, architecturally and aesthetically from other well known contemporary temple sites in Pars.

Attic

Various types of turbine ventilators and exhaust fans can also be used to assist with attic ventilation and decrease the required area of passive ventilators.

Birmingham board school

Typically in red brick and terracotta, gabled, with steep roofs supported by large arches of internally exposed ironwork, and freely planned, they were towered to provide ventilation using the Plenum system, with fresh air being drawn in from above the polluted ground level, heated if necessary, and vented also from the tower.

Cheiracanthium inclusum

In March 2011, Mazda initiated a recall of 65,000 Mazda6 automobiles after webs of this species were found to have clogged fuel system ventilation tubes.

Continuous mandatory ventilation

They are known by various vendor-specific terms such as pressure-regulated volume control (Siemens), autoflow (Dräger), adaptive-pressure ventilation (Hamilton Medical), volume-control plus (Covidien), among others.

CPAP

Continuous positive airway pressure, a particular type of ventilation (breathing) therapy

DCV

Demand-controlled ventilation, the provision of an appropriate level of building ventilation based on measured occupancy

Drummond Pike

1995: Spearheads the Thoreau Center for Sustainability by rehabilitating the empty and dilapidated Letterman Hospital buildings according to a “green” architectural plan, using sustainably-harvested wood, recycled building materials, non-toxic paints and energy-efficient designs that maximize sunlight and natural ventilation.

Dynamic insulation

The positive aspects of dynamic insulation need to be weighed against the more conventional approach to building design which is to create an airtight envelope and provide appropriate ventilation using either natural ventilation or mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

Exhaust hood

NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking says that Mesh filters shall not be used.

Glasgow Cross railway station

Today it is now a ghost station and at surface level the only evidence of its existence are decorative ventilation grilles on the traffic island, between Trongate and London Road, whilst at track level there is a widening of the formation.

Inverter compressor

The inverter frequency drives need to use algorithms developed specifically for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) or for refrigeration.

J. Max Bond, Jr.

He moved to Ghana in the mid-1960, where he designed several government buildings, including the Bolgatanga Regional Library in an area near the border with Burkina Faso, which consisted of four buildings shaded by a common roof that was designed to provide natural ventilation and obviate the need for air conditioning.

Musgrave Park, Belfast

The Musgrave family made their fortune in great part through the Ulster Convector Stove, used for heating and ventilation processes worldwide during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Shops Act 1911

As regards cleanliness, ventilation, drainage, water supply and sanitary condition generally, shops have been since 1878 (the Factory and Workshop Act 1878, s. 101) subject to the provisions of the Public Health Act 1875, which apply to all buildings, except factories under the Factory Acts, in which any persons, whatever their number be, are employed.

Sleep and breathing

Rib cage contribution to ventilation increases during NREM sleep, mostly by lateral movement, and is detected by an increase in EMG amplitude during breathing.

Spray painting

To ensure the ideal working conditions (temperature, air flow and humidity), these environments are equipped with one or more groups of ventilation, consisting of one or more motors and one or more burners to heat the air blown.

Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Station

Heat, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems had been completed, along with tunneling and trackwork.

Timeline of steam power

1765: Ivan Polzunov builds a two-cylinder Newcomen engine for powering mine ventilation in Barnaul, Russia.

Underground mine ventilation

Underground mine ventilation provides a flow of air to the underground workings of a mine of sufficient volume to dilute and remove noxious gases (typically methane, CO).

Wrightsoft

Wrightsoft is a software development firm for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) community.
