Diesel Truck Exhaust

[STYMIEDPIPER]

Please point me in the right direction. I am looking for data , chart, or reference material regarding ventilation requirements for idling diesel truck in an enclosed structure.
I noticed that ASHRAE discusses bus terminals. I did not locate any topic regarding trucks.
Thanks for any advise / input.
Have a great day.

You can try the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists Industrial Ventilation Handbook. They will have levels for Short Term Exposure Limits and Time Weighted Averages for the byproducts of combustion. You will likely try to maintain the Nitrous Oxides below a certain level through your exhaust system.

Double check the mechanical code enforced in your area. May give you intermtiitent rates triggered by sensors or a continuous rate. Good advice on the Nox sensors, if you have gas engines in there you will need CO detection as well.

Take the "V" out of HVAC and you are left with a HAC(k) job.

Here's a link to a design guideline from Vulcain detection (now part of Honeywell).

It starts with CO detection for cars and has a final note when including Diesel vehicles.

What you realy need is a fan with industrial flexible hoses that connect to the engines' tail pipes (they have a magnet so they won't fall off, some can be pulled down from an overhead reel). Have a manual switch, a utility type upblast fan on the roof.
The CO sensors and the likes are for the room ventilation (for use when trucks enter the facility), not for engine fume exhaust.
