WHY Diese l e xh aus t e xtr ac t io n So

IMPORTANT

Diesel engines produce a mixture of toxic gases and particulates

from the combustion process. These hazardous vehicle exhaust
emissions in a garage or storage facility represent the most
significant cancer health risk and a serious legal liability to the
owners and operators of these buildings. It is essential to create
healthy and safe working conditions by reducing these risks.
Protective measures are an important aspect of this effort.

High-quality exhaust removal systems are recommended for

existing and new facilities, to make sure that legal exposure limits
are not exceeded. Plymovent is a global leader in providing systems
that capture, extract and remove gas and diesel exhaust emissions,
creating a cleaner and healthier work environment.

1. What type and size vehicles will be serviced?

2. Are there multiple-sized vehicles being serviced within the facility?

a. Does the facility provide dedicated service bays for cars, light trucks and
other areas for larger vehicles?

3. What are the engine operating conditions?

a. How long and under what conditions will the engines be run? Generally
speaking, 10 to 15 minutes running at idle do not present temperature
problems.
b. Are the engines placed under load while testing AC units, transmissions,
hydraulic testing or other Power Take Off operations? These will all
increase exhaust volume and temperatures.
What type of fuel is being used? For example, vehicles fueled by
c. 
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) can present a number of challenges.

4. How big are the work areas?

a. Service bays for cars (or “small work areas”) do not generally require
long hoses. However, open plan service areas (“large work areas”) may
require a boom arm or motorized hose reels with long exhaust hoses.

5. How many mechanics are there vs. the number of service bays? Do you need
exhaust flow for every service bay at once?
a. Can a single hose / hose reel serve two work areas that are side by side?

6. Gather data on ceiling height, light fixtures, HVAC ductwork, overhead

cranes and the type of building structure; all of these need to be considered
when laying out and selecting equipment.

7. Understand height requirements. Generally spring recoil hose reels are

mounted at 12-16’ AFF; motorized hose reels can be mounted higher. It may
make sense to initially mount the reel lower so a shorter hose can be used,
thereby lowering future hose replacement cost if needed.

8. How many fans will you need? Will a fan be provided with each hose or hose
reel? Or is a centrally located fan the better choice? Should the fan be
located inside or outside? Keep in mind that while an outside-mounted fan
reduces noise, it may be more difficult to service.

9. Determine fan start/stop options and automated fan speed controls. Proper
controls provide required ventilation where and when it is needed. This is
done with a combination of high-quality motorized dampers, pressure
transmitters and a variable frequency drive control box.

 G athe r FAcili ty an d USE R Details (Conti Nued )

Simple systems with two to five hoses could be set up with a single fan and
100% usage; larger systems will typically only have a 35-40% usage factor
and lend themselves to automated airflow controls with Plymovent DCV
fan controllers. This type of control system can handle a large number of
hoses/hose reels with a much smaller fan. Consider adding a DCV controller
and dampers to an older system, or expand an existing fan capability.

10. Tailpipe adaptors - what kind of tailpipes does the fleet have?
a. Undercarriage?
b. Rear of vehicle?
c. Underneath chassis, behind the cab?
d.Vertical Stack exhaust? (Single stack or dual stacks?)
e. Combination of these tailpipes?
f. Are tailpipes accessible?
g. What are the tailpipe diameters and shapes? Can you connect with one
standard nozzle, are multiple tailpipe adapters needed, or is a custom
solution needed?

11. Where are the equipment mounting points?

a. Consider the wall or column to which you can attach the hose reel or
boom arm. Steel columns and masonry walls are ideal for mounting hose
reels or boom arms because of their strength and stiffness. Sheet metal
structures may be problematic for mounting boom arms due to the
bending torque of the boom to the mounting point.Very high ceilings and
overhead cranes may present a challenge, as well as ductwork, piping and
other obstructions.

12. How much electrical power is available?

a. 
Do you have sufficient amperage and slots for new breakers in the
electrical panel? Keep in mind that DCV controllers only operate on
three-phase power.

H ow to Ach iev e Ener gy

Efficienc y with a DC V Sys t em
Consider a 20 hose drop system, operating at 500 cubic
feet per minute (CFM) per hose. This would require a fan
that could exhaust 10,000 CFM. The same system with
a Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) controller and
designed at a 40% usage factor (eight hoses in use at once)
would need a fan suitable for 4,000 CFM.

In this way, the DCV controller reduces energy costs and

overall operational costs:
■■ Reduced exhausted conditioned air.
■■ Reduced fan horse power and electrical consumption.
■■ Smaller diameter ductwork.
■■ Reduced sound levels.
■■ Smaller air make up unit. 5
 ca l cu l atE ai rflow volu m es
Airflow volumes are typically based on the types of vehicle being serviced.
Below are vehicle types with hose diameter and exhaust volume
recommendations.

Automotive:
An automotive repair shop typically requires 275-300 CFM through a 4 in.
hose. In most cases, automotive garages do not have excessive exhaust
temperatures, given that the exhaust must flow all the way down the
tailpipe before it gets to the hose and nozzle. This volume can also be
applied to pick-up trucks.


General Recommendation: Plymovent EG hose (350°F / 170°C
continuous - 400°F / 205°C Spike) is the typical hose used for
automotive shop conditions.

Motorcycles:
Motorcycle repair facilities typically require 600-650 CFM through a 6 in.
hose (This may be split into two five-inch legs for dual exhaust).

General Recommendation: Plymovent EG type hose (350°F / 170°C

continuous, 400°F / 205°C Spike) is the typical hose recommended. If
the repair team loads the engine or is Dyno testing, then the EF2/SNF-
2 hose (550°F / 260°C continuous, 660°F / 350°C Spike) can be used.

Note: Two cycles make twice the exhaust volume as four cycle engines.

P lymoven t A irf low rec ommen dat ions

Our recommendation is that the airflow through the hoses exceed the
exhaust volume of the vehicle. We want to ensure that our systems
properly capture both the exhaust fumes AND ambient shop air into the
hose.

This additional airflow ensures that exhaust from the engine is captured
and the additional air flow provides cooling as it mixes with the hot
exhaust fume. Too much airflow through the hose is far better than too
little.

These items should be considered when designing and laying out a Vehicle
Exhaust removal system. Plymovent experts can help you select the right
system based on your exhaust volume.

Trucks:
Repair garages could include public works (DPW), department of transportation
(DOT) garages, rental fleets, delivery fleet repair, etc. These typically require 500-
550 CFM through a 5 in. hose.


General Recommendation: Plymovent EF2 or SNF-2 (550°F / 260°C
continuous, 660°F / 350°C Spike) hose is often recommended. However, diesel
engine repair shops may conduct tests that generate higher temperatures.
Engine loading for operation of the power take-off (PTO) to power hydraulic
pumps or AC unit testing can raise the temperature and volume, as the engine
is under load. It’s important to learn how much time the engines are tested
under load before determining the right hose.

When to Consider a Fixed Extractor System

The Fixed Extractor, sometimes referred to as the Retractable Hose Drop or
Hose Dropper, is often appropriate for small to mid-size service areas in
which cranes and other equipment are not an issue. Hose drop systems are
typically available in two types:

Winch or Rope and Pulley systems: mounted several feet away from the
hose location, these systems are used to pull the hose up and away via two
pulleys connected to the ceiling structure. This is the less expensive option,
and while more difficult to use, they can support longer and heavier hoses
than other options.

Spring Recoil Balancer: a spring cassette pulls the hose up and away when
not in use.This is the more popular option. Hose lengths are typically 16 to 20
ft. long, but longer hoses are available.The hose’s weight and length need to be
considered when selecting the correct recoil balancer, so that it can fully lift
the exhaust hose and tailpipe adapter when not in use.

F ix ed Extr actors: Two Ques ti ons to A sk

Q. What if there is limited space?

A. Include a fan and mounting bracket. Plymovent provides a fixed extractor
system (FEF) that includes a fan and mounting bracket. These are useful for
small work areas and limited space. For example, a service garage may want
to locate the hose drop between two garage doors.

Q. How can I extend the reach of the system?

A. Use the Fixed Extractor on a pivoting boom.You can increase the reach and
coverage of the hose by connecting it to a swing boom. The FEB swing
boom positions the hose 15 to 26 feet out, away from the column or wall
mounting point.This swing boom is an ideal selection within these facilities:
- A prefabricated building that has no interior columns;
-Facilities that use overhead cranes, which require that hoses reach
underneath
- Facilities that have no defined work bays.

The Plymovent Fixed Extractor with Boom (FEB) system utilizes a double
articulated boom with a Fixed Extractor at the end. When mounted to a
column, the articulated boom version can cover almost a 270 degree arc
around the mounting point. In some cases, depending on where the tailpipe
is located, the swing boom can nearly cover a 360 degree arc around the
column.

When to Consider a Hose Reel System

Hose reels are ideal for facilities where hoses need to be stored above the
service area when not in use. Here are general guidelines for choosing the right
hose reel:

Small Workshop with Multiple Service Areas: We recommend a spring

recoil hose reel, depending on the hose length and mounting elevation. An
operator pulls down the exhaust hose and attaches the nozzle to the vehicle and
pulls on the hose again to smoothly retract the hose.

Medium Workshop with Wide Service Areas: We recommend a spring

recoil hose reel on a boom arm, which is designed to cover a wide area and keep
the hose out of the way when not in use. The boom arm can be attached to a

Extraction rails are made from sections which

are field spliced together into the final length
required. Generally the longer the extruded
sections are, the more rigid the entire assembly
is and the less chance for leakage at the splice
points.

Based on the rail length and airflow needs, the

manufacturer will recommend how many duct
connection taps are needed into the top of the
rail. Rail systems can use either fixed extractors
or spring recoil hose reels.

Consider issues such as preventing “lip loss” at

the sliding trolley to lip point, “airflow loss”
through the lips and balancing the system.

9
 se lect th e prope r hose

All exhaust hoses used on these type systems require a fan to draw air
through them. Insufficient airflow through hoses can lead to hose failure.
Plymovent recommends an airflow velocity of 3500 FPM (plus/minus)
through the hose.

Plymovent offers hoses in a variety of temperature ranges, different

diameters and several standard lengths, based on the application needed.
Hose type selection can be made as the designer determines what the
actual operational conditions are, how the vehicles are operated in the
garage and the duration of the operation.

General Recommendation: Select a hose made of special-coated high

temperature fabric, with an external helix made of galvanized steel and
where possible having a plastic abrasion.

View the table below for recommendations of hoses based on their

temperature range capacities.

se l ec t An E XHAUS T FAN

The most common type of fan used in vehicle exhaust removal systems
is the centrifugal blower, built to Air Movement and Control Association
International (AMCA) Class B construction standards. These fans are
built with spark resistant materials, such as an aluminum Impeller and a
steel fan housing. Backward inclined impellers are often recommended
as they offer high efficiency.

Some manufacturers offer belt driven fans, while others offer direct
drive. There are benefits to both. Plymovent recommends that you
discuss your needs with your exhaust system manufacturer to identify
the most appropriate fan.

The fan is the heart of the system and facilities should invest in the best
fan possible.You can rely on the performance and sound listings offered
by manufacturers like Plymovent that have had their fans tested and
listed by AMCA.

Fans should be selected by how much airflow they can move at a given
resistance, rather than horsepower, RPM, inlet diameter, etc. Here are
three criteria for selecting a fan:
■■ Volume of air that the fan needs to move at the total system static
pressure resistance;
■■ Exhaust air temperatures;
■■ Elevation of your building above sea level - the higher the elevation
or temperature the less dense the air becomes; the fan size needs

maintenance for belt tightening and pillow block

Flex connectors should be used on the fan inlet

and outlet to isolate the fan from the ductwork.
Rubber-in-shear or spring vibration isolators
should be used to isolate the fan from the building
structure. Also, the fan support structure should
be suitable for the weight of the fan.

11
 S el ec t A TAI LPIPE ADAPT ER

Understanding the Range of Nozzles Required

Tailpipe adapters are often the most difficult item to select. It is

common to have many different tailpipe locations, shapes and
diameters within a single fleet. Tailpipes adapters may also be
referred to as nozzles, apparatus fittings, or boots.

Most exhaust system manufacturers offer numerous different

type and sizes of nozzles, based on the hose diameter as well as
tailpipe size/shape/location on the vehicle.

General Recommendation: For truck and vehicles with dual

tailpipes, consider a nozzle that takes in ambient cooling air,
thereby reducing the exhaust emission temperature. This type of
nozzle should be composed of moulded, high temperature
resistant rubber, and be equipped with a vise grip or pincher clip
to strengthen the connection with the exhaust pipe.

Consider having multiple types of tailpipe adapters available for

each hose. In these cases, consider using “Quick Disconnects” so
that nozzles can be easily added and swapped on the hoses.


Ve rt ica l Stack Cha llenges

Most trucks are made with different stacks based on the chassis and type
of body attached to them. For example, a truck chassis used for over the
road tractors can have a different vertical stack than if that same chassis is
used for a dump truck where the dump body would cover the cab.

As you are selecting tailpipe adapters for your project, you have to inspect
your fleet.You may find that you need more than one tailpipe adapter.

For example, Plymovent offers two vertical stack adapters that come with
telescopic pole handles so they can be placed onto the vertical stack from
ground level. With a telescopic arm, the nozzle can be easily fixed to the
tail pipe using a guide bar.

12
s EL EC T A FAN Starter

Fan starters make an exhaust system easier to use because it

maximizes the mechanics’ time. An exhaust system that
automatically starts or stops the exhaust fan as the hose is
being used provides convenience for mechanics as they service
their vehicles, and ensures consistent use.

When designing the system, the size of the project often

determines the type of fan starter that should be installed. On
a small system that includes two or three hoses, a manual motor
starter located in a convenient position within the work area
might be all that’s needed.

A larger system with four or more hose reels or fixed extractors

may benefit from having a low voltage fan start/stop system
included in the design. These generally include a toggle switch
of some type located on the hose reel or recoil balancer that
sends a start signal whenever a hose is brought down for use.

Determine the Usage Factor

As pointed out on page five, a 20 hose drop system, operating
at 500 CFM per hose, would require a fan that could exhaust
10,000 CFM. But many facilities should anticipate a 40% Usage
Factor (for example, only eight hoses in use at once). The Usage
Factor should be determined before the design is finalized.

DCV systems may add costs at the outset of the project, but a
DCV controller can be expected to reduce ventilation, heating,
and cooling loads by 10 to 30%.

In the April 2017 issue of Facility Executive, an airside efficiency

company calculated that DCV projects can reduce energy by Q. 
Why Use Demand Control Ventilation
38% in energy intensive environments such as laboratories. (DCV)?

A. E ven a larger system can benefit from having

a Demand-Control Ventilation (DCV) fan
speed control system installed.


With a DCV system in place, you can
downsize the fan and ductwork based on
the total number of hoses in use, rather
than the total number of hoses on the
system. That’s because in most facilities,
not all the hoses on a system are in use at
the same time.

13
 Design the Ductwork Sys te m

When designing the ductwork for an exhaust removal system, remember that
you are dealing with a carcinogenic product that may be damp. Plymovent
recommends transport velocities to be as high as is practical given the
ductwork diameters which work the best.

General Recommendation: Transport Velocity of 3000 FPM or higher. This

may not always be possible based on airflow through the various
components and duct connection fittings on the equipment. When
installing the ductwork and the possibility of condensation exists, it may be
advantageous to slope the duct and include a drain.

Position Exhaust Stack Above the Roof

In some cases a louver located in the side wall of the building is selected for
the exhaust system discharge. Plymovent does not recommend the side wall
louver because this can allow the exhaust to blow back against the outside of
the building - or worse - recirculate back into the building through doors or
other penetrations in the building envelope.

General Recommendation: In most projects an exhaust stack on the fan

should discharge vertically and terminate well above the roof, away from
all air intakes and air handling units.

i mportant precaut ions

Light duty lock seam HVAC duct and elbows should not be used. This type of
ductwork is not strong enough to handle the negative pressure the fan will
generate in these types of systems.

Plymovent does not recommend PVC piping as ductwork. Air flowing through
a pipe or duct can generate static electricity and PVC is difficult to ground.
Static electricity and flammable vapors are not a good mix.

Do not share the ducts of the vehicle exhaust system with common shafts or
ducts of other systems, such as welding exhaust systems, as the exhaust
system contains flammable vapors.

Follow the Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association
(SMACNA) guidelines for ductwork design.

14
C al cu l atE Static Pressur e

Static Pressure is the resistance to airflow through all the components within the
exhaust system. This includes the hose, hose storage device, ductwork, fan and fan
exhaust stack.

For example, ductwork static pressure is figured as friction loss per 100 feet of
duct at a certain CFM. This resistance can be calculated by the design engineer or
the exhaust system specialists with which you are working. Pressure is measured
in Pascal (Pa) / Inches Water Gauge (w.g.).

Care and the manufacturers’ assistance should be sought to make sure the airflow
and static pressure is calculated correctly.

When extracting vehicle exhaust, it’s important to maintain a relatively high

velocity to avoid any liquids and particles from settling in the ducting system.
