Hiya
I need to spec up a ventilation system for a small welding and machine shop. The area will have ten welders, one large vertical machining centre, a bunch of small machine tools and things like air compressors, heat treatment, small(ish) cranes and air compressors etc.
My question is: if I know the heat output in a volume, is there a standard relation I can use to approximate the amount of air flow (or whatever other variable is appropriate) I need to maintain a relatively constant and comfortable air temperature in that volume?
HVAC is not my forte so any help is much appreciated.
