# Industrial Specification: Exhaust System

## 1. Technical Definition
A ventilation system that removes fumes, vapors, and particulate matter from the tablet coating chamber to maintain air quality and process safety.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s air velocity at duct inlet, 20-80°C exhaust gas temperature, 100-500 Pa negative pressure differential**. Failure boundary: **Duct velocity below 0.3 m/s causes particulate settling; above 2.5 m/s creates excessive turbulence. Temperature exceeding 120°C degrades HEPA filters. Pressure differential below 50 Pa indicates insufficient extraction.**, Mechanism: **Bernoulli's principle governs pressure-velocity relationship in ductwork. Stokes' law determines particulate settling velocity at low flow rates. Thermal expansion differential between stainless steel duct (α=17.3×10⁻⁶/K) and aluminum cladding (α=23.1×10⁻⁶/K) causes stress cracking above 100°C.**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| f | Friction Factor | Engineering Constant |
| L | Pipe Length | Engineering Constant |
| v | Velocity | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Particulate accumulation exceeding 150 g/m² on HEPA filter media | 8 | Pressure drop increases to 750 Pa, reducing extraction efficiency by 40% | Install differential pressure sensors with automatic alarm at 600 Pa threshold |
| Condensate formation due to exhaust gas cooling below dew point (45°C at 60% RH) | 8 | Corrosion pitting at 0.5 mm/year rate in carbon steel duct sections | Integrate duct heating elements maintaining surface temperature 15°C above dew point |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What makes this exhaust system suitable for pharmaceutical tablet coating applications?
**A**: This system is specifically designed for tablet coating chambers with food-grade silicone gaskets, PTFE seals, and 316L stainless steel construction that meets pharmaceutical hygiene standards. The HEPA and activated carbon filters effectively capture particulate matter and organic vapors while maintaining required airflow rates.

### Q: How does the filter configuration ensure air quality and safety?
**A**: The dual-stage filtration includes a HEPA filter assembly for particulate removal (typically 99.97% efficiency at 0.3μm) followed by an activated carbon filter for vapor and fume adsorption. This combination maintains clean exhaust air while protecting workers and the environment from coating process emissions.

### Q: What maintenance is required for optimal system performance?
**A**: Regular maintenance includes monitoring filter pressure differentials, replacing HEPA and carbon filters as indicated, inspecting dampers/valves for proper operation, and cleaning ductwork. The stainless steel construction minimizes corrosion, while accessible components simplify routine service.
