APPENDIX

North South East West

Air Changes Per Minute Based On:

The reclaim systems for the blast cabinets CFM is derived based on Figure VS-80-02 listed in this appendix and other requirements listed in the ACGHI Industrial Ventilation Manual of Recommended Practice for Design 26 th Edition.

Using the equation shown above, an acceptable CFM is calculated using the medium blast cabinet minimum working dimensions of 50in W x 44in D x 32” H.

Medium cabinets minimum inside work volume (cubic inches) = 50 in x 44 in x 32 in = 70,400 in3 70,400 in3 x 0.000578704 ft3/ in3 = 40.74 ft3 (cubic feet)

40.74 ft3 x 20 air changes/min = 814.80 cfm (cubic feet per minute) which is the minimum cfm needed to meet the ACGIH design requirements.

Similarly the vendor can take the medium cabinet maximum working dimensions of 60in W x 48in D x 40in H to calculate the minimum cfm needed to meet the ACGIH design requirements.

Using the equation shown above, an acceptable CFM is also calculated using the small blast cabinet minimum working dimensions of 42in W x 42in D x 32in H.

Small cabinets minimum inside work volume (cubic inches) = 42 in x 42 in x 32 in = 56,448 in3 56,448 in3 x 0.000578704 ft3/ in3 = 32.67 ft3 (cubic feet)

32.67 ft3 x 20 air changes/min = 653.40 cfm (cubic feet per minute) which is the minimum cfm needed to meet the ACGIH design requirements.

Similarly the vendor can take the small cabinet maximum working dimensions of 48in W x 48in D x 40in H to calculate the minimum cfm needed to meet the ACGIH design requirements.
