Ventilation of Class A compressor rooms
Thread Content
Having been working on offshore platform projects for a long time, I am now dealing with a project on land. I would like to ask everyone for advice regarding the design of an open compressor room whose roof is higher in the middle and slopes downward on both sides; such a room is used to house Class A, lightweight gases. How should the ventilation be designed? Could I have some relevant engineering drawings for reference? Thank you!
There should be no need for ventilation anymore, as it’s all open

Ventilation is not necessary; if it must be done, install explosion-proof roof fans.
It should be possible to do without ventilation.
Thank you all. This facility has two compressor rooms; since rain shelters have been installed around their ceilings, acting like covers, ventilation systems have been set up in both rooms. In the larger rooms, natural ventilation fans as well as emergency explosion-proof fans are installed (as hydrogen and other gases can accumulate at the top). In the smaller rooms, ventilation roof skylights have been provided
