In an industrial production environment, good factory ventilation can not only improve work efficiency, but also ensure the health and safety of employees. Air circulation and temperature regulation in factories mainly rely on the principle of heat convection, and natural ventilation is one of the important ways to achieve a good ventilation environment. If the ventilation in the factory is poor, it may lead to a variety of health problems, which in turn affect production efficiency and employee well-being.

Air convection principle Thermal convection is an important mechanism of air movement. When air is heated, its density decreases and rises, while cooler air descends, forming a convection cycle. In the factory, equipment operation and production processes will generate a large amount of heat energy. Without proper ventilation design, hot air will accumulate indoors, causing the ambient temperature to rise, which in turn affects the comfort and production efficiency of employees. Therefore, using the principle of heat convection to design a ventilation system can effectively expel hot air and keep the indoor air fresh. |

Introduction to natural ventilation in factories
Natural ventilation utilizes the effects of wind pressure and heat pressure to allow natural exchange of indoor and outdoor air, thereby improving air quality and reducing indoor temperature. Common natural ventilation methods include opening windows at high and low positions, installing ventilation shutters, skylights or ventilation ducts, etc. When external air flows into the factory, it will expel internal heat and pollutants, thereby reducing the feeling of stuffiness and improving the comfort of employees. In addition, proper ventilation design can reduce energy consumption, reduce dependence on mechanical ventilation equipment, and improve overall economic benefits.
Health hazards caused by poor ventilation
If the factory is not well ventilated, pollutants, dust, harmful gases and moisture in the air will accumulate, which will have an adverse effect on the health of employees. For example, high concentrations of carbon dioxide can cause people to become drowsy and lose concentration, while industrial dust and chemical gases can cause respiratory diseases, allergic reactions, and even long-term chronic diseases. In addition, the hot and humid environment can cause employees to suffer from heat stroke, dehydration and other problems, affecting production safety. Therefore, ensuring a good ventilation environment can not only reduce health risks, but also improve work efficiency and create safer working conditions.
Factory ventilation is closely related to the health of employees. By applying the principles of thermal convection and natural ventilation design, the indoor air quality can be effectively improved and the impact of high temperature and pollutants on the human body can be reduced. Companies should pay attention to ventilation management to ensure that the factory environment meets health and safety standards, thereby improving production efficiency and employee well-being.
