A customer asked us to plan a process exhaust air system to capture and extract emissions from their annealing bath. Various solutions had already been proposed according to the requirements. The design and dimensioning of the offered solutions were based on the experience of our customer and the providers involved. It already became clear to us during the first inspection that the quantity and the surge-like spread of the emission clouds made dimensioning on the basis of prior experience impossible.

Therefore, in the first step, we tried to determine the emission characteristics and quantity. However, there were no analytical tools suited to this. That's why we developed the Kappa Video Fluid Dynamic (VFD) software. It is based on video recordings that can be used to determine the speed, extent, and quantities of visible emissions. Once the results are obtained, the required collection and extraction can be correctly determined.

KappaQ-Energy is the energy saving concept for minimizing the energy costs of ventilation systems.

It illustrates which factors influence the energy requirements of ventilation and air conditioning systems and which levers make it possible to massively reduce energy use permanently and sustainably.
