Operating principle

The harmful gases from various foundry areas (melting, cooling, sand preparation) are fed to the filter and cleaned there. Tracer adsorption processes are used specifically to reduce odors from the croning process. The warm exhaust air is passed through a heat exchanger on the clean gas side (air-water-glycol) which feeds the extracted heat to the supply air unit for the hall air conditioning. The hall supply air is then introduced draught-free via displacement air outlets at defined, neuralgic working areas.
