This book presented as an educational tool to guide designers, engineers, and technicians in regard to the proper design, engineering, installation, operation, and maintenance of safe and effective heating, ventilation, pressurization, dilution, filtration, and air-conditioning systems for hazardous spaces. As herein defined, such spaces surrounded by or may contain various concentrations and mixtures of airborne contaminants and hazardous substances. This guide places particular emphasis on toxic chemicals, asphyxiants, flammable gases, and combustible dusts.
Protecting the health and safety of countless individuals depends on making proper and thoughtful decisions. Each decision regarding what types of equipment to design and install, how the equipment will operate, and how it maintained incurs potential life-safety risks. Readers encouraged to take great care, carefully deliberate decisions, and consult with experts as necessary to minimize any potential life-safety risks when designing and installing HVAC systems in hazardous spaces.
