Title: Ventilation System Design for Metal Preparation Workshop within a Hot-Dip Galvanizing Facility
Keywords: emergency operations, hot-dip galvanizing, rational ventilation, routine

Abstract: This study addresses the high energy consumption of ventilation systems in hot-dip galvanizing workshops, where corrosive and toxic fumes are generated during steel preparation. While existing solutions improve efficiency under normal operating conditions, they often overlook emergency scenarios critical for worker safety. The proposed approach develops a rational ventilation strategy that optimizes energy use while ensuring effective protection during both routine and emergency operations.
