Summary on Grant Application Form
The REEXS is an effective means of removing contaminant air from a controllled ventilated environment by combining exhaustion and injection in a correctly balanced ratio. The important factors are the geometry of the hood, its location with the source of the contaminant and the exhaust volumetric flow. Although prototype REEXS exist, unfortunately no industrial version is in use as such an implementation requires proper understanding of the underlying phenomena, particularly in relation to the physical and operating conditions. The intention here is to:1) provide a user-friendly computational model which will facilitate reliable information on the fluid dynamic characteristics of REEXS operating at different injection/exhaustion rates;2) provide a well-founded basis for suggesting alternative design configurations for specific requirements.
