Design air flow rate
Fresh air, exhaust and local suction flow rates are evaluated separately according to human load, space usage, process heat loads and pollutant sources, if any.

Industrial Ventilation
Industrial ventilation is an engineering study that evaluates the air needs and pollutant sources in the production area together. MKA Engineering; It provides project services for general ventilation, local suction, fresh air balance and fan-duct calculations.
Technical Design
In factory ventilation, flow rate, duct network and equipment are evaluated together.
Heat loads in the production area, exhaust requirements, machine-generated pollutants and personnel use are different design inputs. In cases where general ventilation and source capture do not perform the same function, local suction lines are handled separately.
Channel cross-section and pressure loss
By calculating air speeds, route, elbows, branches and equipment losses, duct dimensions and critical line pressure loss are determined.
Fan and filter selection
The fan duty point is determined according to the design flow rate and total static pressure; filtering, audio and maintenance requirements are addressed together with the terms of use.
Fresh air and exhaust balance
Fresh air to be provided instead of exhausted air, building pressure balance, effects on heating-cooling load and door/opening relationships are evaluated on a system basis.
Project Specific Process
Four-stage approach from exploration to channel placement.
In order to achieve the right result in the ventilation project, it is necessary to determine the actual need of the location and process before the equipment catalogue.
01
Field reconnaissance and process data
The production area, welding points, existing vents and aspiration lines, machine layouts and usage scenarios are examined.
02
Calculation and design criteria
Project-specific design assumptions are determined for flow rate, air velocity, duct pressure loss, outdoor air requirement and equipment placement.
03
Project and material recipes
Channel plans, sections, connection details, fan/filter requirements, technical specifications and survey-quantity documents are created.
04
Field coordination
Assembly routes, equipment access, electrical-automation coordination, measurement and commissioning controls are evaluated.
Preliminary Review
Required data to start the account
- Space dimensions, floor height and layout plan
- Type of production process, equipment location and working hours
- Current or anticipated sources of heat and pollutants
- Desired indoor conditions and outdoor air/exhaust route
- Measurement, project and equipment information if there is an existing duct-fan system
If the information is not complete, the scope of discovery can be determined accordingly.
Application Separation
Difference between general ventilation and local suction
General ventilation helps refresh ambient air and manage heat load. In cases where dust, smoke, steam or process gas must be controlled at the source, local suction and appropriate filtration are designed when necessary. For facilities with a risk of hazardous substances, flammable dust or explosive atmospheres, a risk assessment and design in accordance with the relevant legislation is required.
Note: Applying a fixed air exchange coefficient to every facility may not give accurate results. Flow rates and equipment selection should be calculated according to the actual process conditions of the facility.
Discovery and Project Request →Discovery inputs and engineering deliverables
In Industrial Ventilation study, the following information available can be shared in the first meeting. Field detection or additional calculation requirements for missing data are determined separately. Preparation of documents does not automatically guarantee acceptance by the relevant institution or a particular test result.
| Startup entry | Output to be defined in the proposal |
|---|---|
| Process, contaminant and work area information | Design assumptions and air flow calculation |
| Source points and available air flows | Channel losses and fan operating point |
| Channel route, filter and discharge conditions | Layout, equipment list and measurement plan |
Frequently asked questions
How to prepare a quote for Industrial Ventilation?
Process, pollutant and work area information is shared along with the facility's district, usage type and requested service. Account, project, application and test items are separated in the written scope.
Will existing drawings be sufficient?
The drawings are compared with the field. If there are revisions, changes in use, and missing equipment information, their impact on the account or project is examined.
What documents are submitted?
Design assumptions and air flow calculation, duct losses and fan operating point and other documents included in the scope of work are delivered. The file format and revision scope are determined at the outset.
Is fixed capacity used for each facility?
No. Usage, system structure and field data are different. Numerical values cannot be applied to all facilities without verifying the relevant calculation and method.
Are implementation and control the same scope?
Project planning, assembly, field inspection and testing tasks are defined separately. The proposal states which party is responsible for which work.
From which regions do you receive requests for exploration?
Requests from Çorlu, Ergene, Kapaklı and Tekirdağ are evaluated from our Çerkezköy center. The time and conditions of the field visit are decided separately.
