Exhaust Heat From Oven Room

Exhaust Heat From Oven Room

Exhaust Heat From Oven Room

(OP)
I am interning at a company that used two large ovens to cure material. One of the projects I am working on is determining a way to send the hot air from the room (Ovens at ~145 F) into the adjoining production area. I don't know how to approach this problem. The HVAC air coming into the room is currently filtered as it leaves the duct. I don't know if utilizing fans in the wall would be enough to draw the air into the area next door and if make up would be required. Overall, I really lost on where to begin. Any help you would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

RE: Exhaust Heat From Oven Room

Several things.
1) Where is your supervising/mentoring engineer? They should be guiding you and teaching good design habits.
2) There are too many variables and "what if" scenarios for anyone here to provide meaningful advise.
3) Transferring heated air from one occupied space to another is not allowed by code. (Not expressly stated this way, but that is the general intent.)
4) For heat generating appliances (such as your curing oven) that do not have flues, hoods are used to draw heated air from the appliance and exhaust said air to the outside.

Retain an Engineer familiar with heat recovery. Tell your boss that trying to bootstrap this on a web forum is not the way to go.

This is also contrary to board policies.
