Optimization of Ventilation Systems in Large Welding Workshops with Multiple Dust Sources: A Case Study of a 300-m-Long Welding Workshop
Welding technology, extensively utilized in modern industry, poses significant health risks due to metal dust exposure, which can lead to respiratory discomfort, neurological issues, and an increased risk of lung cancer and pneumoconiosis. Enhancing ventilation within factory buildings has proven to be an economical approach to mitigating these risks. This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the airflow and dust transport within a large welding workshop measuring 300 m in length, 28 m in width, and 21 m in height. The impact of the exhaust-to-supply air ratio (ESR) and the height of the side exhaust port (SEP) on dust removal efficiency is investigated. Comparative analysis of transport dynamics between low-density aluminum alloy welding fume and high-density carbon steel welding fume reveals optimal dust exhaust designs. The study identifies two peaks in workshop air velocity at 0–2 m and 8–12 m above the ground, with the top exhaust port (TEP) outperforming the SEP in dust removal. An increased ESR accelerates the upward migration of welding fume, reducing lateral dispersion. An improperly set SEP height can lead to airflow short-circuiting or excessive lateral dispersion, hindering effective dust removal. Optimal SEP height for aluminum alloy and carbon steel dust are determined to be 5 m and 6 m, respectively.
