PRELIMINARY SIZING OF VOC EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR PAINT BOOTHS

摘要

When it is necessary to install a VOC emission control system on a paint spraybooth, "What are the size and weight of the system?" and "What are its utility requirements?" are critical questions that must be answered quickly. The installation costs of the VOC emission control system depend upon its size and weight, and operating costs depend upon the system utility requirements. Methods of quickly estimating the VOC emission control system preliminary size, weight, and utility requirements are, therefore, valuable tools for anyone contemplating installing such a system. The following guidelines will allow almost anyone to roughly estimate size, weight, and utility requirements for some of the commonly employed VOC emission control technologies. These preliminary estimates are believed to be accurate to within 25% of actual values and are solely designed for preparation of initial engineering and management reports. They are not recommended as final installation engineering design values for actual projects.
