USING FIBER PLASTIC EXHAUST FAN POWERED BY WIND TURBINE

Abstract

Product manufacturing in factories often releases contaminated substances, particulate matter, excessive heat, and vapor into the workspace. To address these concerns, factories rely on industrial ventilation systems to dilute or remove these harmful effluents. Wind energy has long been utilized as a source of electricity and has since expanded into large-scale onshore wind energy applications. In this study, the researchers explored the feasibility and performance of a fiber plastic exhaust fan powered by a wind turbine as an alternative ventilation solution. The researchers employed an experimental research method to test the proposed system. Data were gathered through trials, errors, and direct observation. The fiber plastic exhaust fan powered by a wind turbine was compared with a traditional exhaust fan in terms of consistency, airflow, and ventilation performance. The results showed that the fiber plastic exhaust fan powered by a wind turbine is comparable to a traditional exhaust fan in terms of consistency, durability, airflow, and ventilation. However, limitations were observed, particularly regarding dependence on wind availability and the location of the wind source, which affected overall performance compared to conventional exhaust fans. The findings suggest that the fiber plastic exhaust fan powered by a wind turbine presents a viable alternative for reducing reliance on electrical power sources. This system can help minimize electricity costs while still providing adequate airflow and ventilation. However, improvements related to wind availability and system placement are necessary to enhance efficiency and reliability.
