Does anyone know the general rule of thumb for an air exchange rate inside of a welding shop? I am trying to design a system to clean the air in our welding shop and cannot come up with the simple baseline. Ive spoke to several manufacturers / suppliers of air cleaning systems and no body will flat out tell me. Backing into the data ive collected the numbers range from 2 to 15 air exchanges per hour. I found one table on engineering toolbox that says 12 to 15. The one very helpful duct collector manufacturer tells me industry standard is 5 to 6. Any help would be appreciated.
