Why is it important to invest in good air freshening?
Air freshening
A well-designed air-conditioning system continuously replaces polluted indoor air with clean outdoor air. This prevents polluted air from impacting the quality of your process, employee health, and system reliability. The combination of an air-conditioning system and air distribution system ensures even distribution, keeping temperature, humidity, and air quality within safe limits.

Why is it important to invest in good air freshening?
Each sector has its own requirements for air freshening. In the food industry Is hygienic air supply crucial for product safety, while in the chemical industry emission control and vapour extraction are central. In power plants, bulk processing For recycling companies, air conditioning should primarily provide dust extraction, temperature control, and equipment protection. A professionally designed air conditioning system with an effective distribution system offers clear advantages:
- Improved air quality and a healthier working environment
- Optimal process reliability due to stable temperature and dust-free air
- Lower energy costs thanks to correct sizing and heat recovery
What components does an air freshening system consist of?
To create an effective distribution system, various components are combined into a complete installation:
- Air freshening system: consisting of fans, heat recovery units, filters and control engineering
- Air distribution system: textile air distribution hoses or metal air ducts for an even distribution of air flows.
- Flexible connections and cuffs: for airtight connections between ducts, fans or filters.
- Compensators and seals: to compensate for vibrations, temperature differences and pressure changes.
By coordinating these elements, a sustainable system is created that is energy-efficient and complies with applicable guidelines.
What guidelines and legislation are in force?
Within the Netherlands and the EU, there are clear standards for ventilation and air quality in work environments. According to the Buildings and Living Environment Decree (Bbl) and the Working Conditions Act, the air in workspaces must be sufficiently refreshed and remain free of harmful fumes or dust. In addition, the NEN-EN 16798-3 and NEN 1087 standards provide guidance for industrial ventilation. These standards specify, among other things, the minimum ventilation rate (the number of times the air is refreshed per hour) and the requirements for supply and exhaust openings. The table provides some examples for specific applications. Naturally, we calculate the ventilation rate for each situation.
| Application | Recommended air exchange (m³/hour per m² or per person) | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Production halls (general) | 5 – 8 air changes per hour | Removal of heat, dust and fumes |
| Food industry | 6 – 10 air changes per hour | Hygienic conditions, moisture regulation |
| Chemical industry / laboratories | 10 – 20 air changes per hour | Shielding of vapours and emissions |
| Storage and packaging areas | 3 – 5 air changes per hour | Basic ventilation, temperature balance |
| Offices and control rooms | 30 – 40 m³ per person per hour | Healthy indoor air and comfort |
An air conditioning system must not only meet these technical requirements but also be energy-efficient and easy to maintain. By combining modern filters, air distribution hoses, and flexible connections, you create a system that meets both environmental requirements and process objectives.
