Influence of Plant Structure and Production Conditions on the Selection of Thin Ventilation Skylights
Release time：
As a core component of plant ventilation, the proper selection of thin ventilation skylights directly determines ventilation efficiency, operational stability, and maintenance costs. During the selection process, plant structure and production conditions serve as two critical determining factors, and precise alignment with both is essential to avoid issues such as inadequate ventilation, equipment damage, or safety hazards.
Plant structure has a decisive impact on skylight selection. The roof form directly dictates the layout method for skylights. In buildings with a large span and only one ridge, to meet fire safety requirements, skylights are typically arranged horizontally along the slope on pitched roofs and combined with ridge arrangements to form a large-span crosswise and lengthwise layout. Furthermore, the plant’s span and height define the required skylight specifications. Large-span plants necessitate either larger skylight units or multiple units in parallel to ensure comprehensive coverage of ventilation needs. For taller buildings, the number of skylights should be optimized based on air volume calculations to enhance the discharge efficiency of hot air. Simultaneously, the building materials and load-bearing capacity influence the material configuration of the skylights. Steel-structure plants can accommodate standard lightweight aluminum skylights, whereas concrete roofs or retrofits of older plants require careful consideration of skylight weight to avoid exceeding the roof’s load-bearing limits. If the plant is located in a corrosive environment, such as coastal or chemical industrial areas, skylights with anti-corrosion coatings or stainless-steel construction must be selected.
Production conditions determine the functional suitability of thin ventilation and smoke exhaust skylights. In high-temperature workshops, such as metal forging or glass processing, models with high air volume and large throat dimensions should be prioritized to rapidly exhaust residual process heat. In workshops generating dust or oil fumes, skylights with enhanced sealing and easy-cleaning designs are recommended. For chemical workshops with corrosive gases, skylights must be constructed from corrosion-resistant materials and feature reinforced sealing. In flammable or explosive production environments, explosion-proof skylights compliant with safety regulations are essential. Moreover, in facilities with continuous 24-hour operations, open-type thin ventilation skylights should be selected to ensure uninterrupted ventilation around the clock.
In summary, selecting thin ventilation skylights should be based on plant structure to match layout methods and size specifications, and centered on production conditions to align with functional requirements and material standards.
