LEVjärjestelmä

LEVjärjestelmä is a Finnish term that translates to "air purification system" or "local exhaust ventilation system" in English. It refers to a system designed to capture and remove airborne contaminants at their source before they can spread into the general work environment. These systems are crucial for maintaining air quality and protecting the health and safety of individuals in workplaces where hazardous substances are present.

The fundamental principle behind a LEVjärjestelmä is to create an airflow that draws contaminated air away from the worker and into a capture hood. This hood is strategically placed as close as possible to the emission source to maximize its effectiveness. The captured air then travels through ductwork to a filtration unit or other treatment device where pollutants are removed. Finally, the cleaned air is either recirculated back into the workspace or safely discharged outdoors.

LEVjärjestelmäs are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. This includes manufacturing, woodworking, welding, chemical handling, laboratories, and any setting where dust, fumes, vapors, or other harmful airborne particles are generated. The specific design and components of a LEVjärjestelmä are tailored to the type and concentration of contaminants being controlled, as well as the specific processes involved. Regular maintenance and testing are essential to ensure that the system continues to operate efficiently and effectively.
