Such devices shall exhaust in a manner that will not allow contaminants to re-enter the facility. Release of debris outdoors must not violate any outdoor environmental standards, codes or regulations.

All methods require mechanical agitation devices to dislodge debris adhered to interior HVAC system surfaces, such that debris may be safely conveyed to vacuum collection devices. Acceptable methods will include those, which will not potentially damage the integrity of the ductwork, nor damage porous surface materials such as liners inside the ductwork or system components.

Cleaning of coils: Any cleaning method may be used which will render the Coil Visibly Clean and capable of passing Coil Cleaning Verification (see applicable NADCA Standards). Coil drain pans shall be subject to Non-Porous Surfaces Cleaning Verification. The drain for the condensate drain pan shall be operational. Cleaning methods shall not cause any appreciable damage to, displacement of, inhibit heat transfer, or erosion of the coil surface or fins, and shall conform to coil manufacturer recommendations when available. Coils shall be thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any latent residues.

Antimicrobial Agents and Coatings: Antimicrobial agents shall only be applied if active fungal growth is reasonably suspected, or where unacceptable levels of fungal contamination have been verified through testing. Application of any antimicrobial agents used to control the growth of fungal or bacteriological contaminants shall be performed after the removal of surface deposits and debris. When used, antimicrobial treatments and coatings shall be applied in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s written recommendations and EPA registration listing. Antimicrobial coatings shall be applied according to the manufacturer’s written instructions. Coatings shall be sprayed directly onto interior ductwork surfaces, rather than “fogged” downstream onto surfaces.

6.0 TESTING AND BALANCING (TAB) PROCEDURES

a. ☐ Smoke test. Using either a smoke tube or smoke candle, observe airflow currents and patterns throughout the range. This should identify disturbances and direction of airflow. Unnecessary personnel should not be present in the range or near the supply air plenum during the assessment. Prior to activating the tube or candle, ensure that the ventilation system is on and operating. If a smoke candle is used, a coffee can with some type of a handle fabricated (pliers) should be used to handle the candle. At the firing line, smoke test each firing station (booth). Test from the floor to about 6-foot level. Observe the smoke pattern. The smoke should move down range and demonstrate laminar flow. Document unusual smoke patterns or where smoke swirls and returns to the shooter's position. Eddies or swirls near the floor, or other obstructions are a concern and should be noted. If turbulence is observed, air velocities may be high in that area. Note that air velocity measurements conducted later in this area may not truly indicate the direction of the flow (turbulence and eddies may have flow directions other than down range but will be reflected only as a measured value). Conduct additional smoke measurements down range to ensure adequate air velocities and patterns are maintained down range towards the bullet stop. Note that many ranges were designed to have multiple exhaust points down range that will affect the smoke patterns.

b. ☐ Air Flow Testing: Measure the cross-sectional area for the range and calculate the necessary volumetric air flow. Measure the ceiling height and width of the range at the firing line. Measure the ventilation.
