Function of GEX
General Exhaust System - general heat / odor exhaust from process tools - solvent exhaust for lab areas - Valve manifold Box (VMB) exhaust for hydrogen gas system. Acid exhaust system - Acid exhaust for lab areas
Wet Exhaust System - segregate the moisture-laden air in a watertight and corrosion duct. - Tools that condense steam or water vapor saturation into ductwork. Utility exhaust system - Low pressure exhaust for restrooms and janitorial rooms - Kicthen exhaust for food preparation equipment.
Ductwork shall be rectangular, round duct is permitted (when cost effective and space permits) Ductwork shall properly supported along the facility. Balance / isolation slide dampers at all branches and every tool drop.
Non process fans shall operate at a fixed speed capability to upgrade 10 % on SP and Flow. Select fan based on operating efficiency and cost.
Use almunium fan construction for areas where high humidity is expected in wet exhaust, locker rooms and shower rooms. Slope wet exhaust duct away from tool drops toward fans, provide duct drains every 20 feet with P-trap plumbed to wastewater system. Insulate ductwork above 49 c(120 F) with suitable insulation. All ventilators shall mounted on insulated wall mount and with rain louvers. Duct systems for production areas are to be wiped down, vacuumed, or blown clean with compressed air before installation all ductwork is sealed with plastic after cleaning and during assembly.
