Development of a light sensing self-adjusting hood for welding fumes.
Recently, the incidence of pneumoconiosis due to inhalation of welding fumes has become increasingly remarkable in Japan. Although several engineering methods such as local exhaust ventilation, push-pull ventilation and general (dilution) ventilation have been preferred for controlling airborne contaminants released from welding work, thorough reduction of the welder’s exposure to welding fumes...
