Why do Can Plants Need Air Balancing
Air Balancing in Can Manufacturing Plants
Air balancing is essential in can plants to maintain a safe, stable, and comfortable environment. Without it, the facility could experience negative air pressure, temperature imbalances, or poor air quality.
Why Air Balancing Matters
- Heat and exhaust removal: Equipment such as washers and ovens generate significant heat and exhaust. These are vented through the roof to prevent the plant from overheating.
- Maintaining pressure: If only exhaust air leaves the building, it creates negative pressure, which can draw in dust or unfiltered air. To counter this, make-up air is fed back into the plant.
- Heated air in colder months: During winter, make-up air is preheated before being introduced to maintain a comfortable temperature.
