Design of local ventilation for skidoo motor exhaust

Abstract

Most skidoo repair shops are not equipped with mechanical ventilation systems designed to capture and exhaust the gases produced by motor combustion. Exposure to these gases, mainly carbon monoxide, is one of the main risk factors for workers in these shops. This technical data sheet provides the information necessary for the installation of an exhaust gas ventilation system that is efficient, easy to maintain and that has affordable installation and operating costs. It contains the technical information required for the selection, manufacture and installation of various components of such a system.
