Exhaust Extraction Systems
What are Exhaust Extraction Systems?
Exposure to hazardous vehicle exhaust emissions can cause serious health problems for you and your employees. The most efficient way to combat that exposure is to capture the exhaust fumes at the source and eliminate contact with harmful pollutants., An exhaust extraction system removes the hazardous emissions at the source.
Why are exhaust extraction systems needed for Industrial/Automotive workshops?
Exhaust extraction systems are needed to reduce hazardous exhaust emissions.They can also be used in filtration of welding fumes, grinding dust and oil mist and the removal of tobacco smoke optimising quality of indoor air.
What are the Long term Harmfulness if Not installed Extraction ?
Exposure to welding fumes and exhaust gas and toxic gas is a major concern in the industrial environment.The repeated exposure to hazardous exhaust fumes at low levels can eventually lead to health issues. An exhaust extraction is necessary to maintain the safety of employees and the efficiency of machinery.
What is BS6 engine?
BSVI or BS6 is the sixth emission benchmark or criterion in reducing pollution levels when compared to the BSIV or BS4 emission norms. Both are the maximum emission norms which set the maximum pollution from the exhaust of the motor vehicle. … Compared to the BS4, the BS6 fuel has less sulphur and NOx.

What is Regeneration Process?
The process of burning the Particulate Matter (Soot) accumulated in the DPF is called Regeneration.Soot is a by product of incomplete combustion when the air & fuel mixture that powers the engine fails to completely ignite to produce its energy potential
Methods of doing Regeneration
Passively : (Depending on engine rpm in highways) Automatically happens when the vehicle is running on a long way
Actively : (At the Regeneration Bay in service stations: partially/fully choked condition of Diesel Particulate Filter)
Basics of Exhaust Extraction System
Exhaust extraction systems mainly consist of extractor assembly, hoses & nozzles mounted above the vehicles in service centres. The nozzles are easy to attach to the exhaust pipe of the vehicle. During regeneration at the engine bay, where the hoses will extract the fumes and prevent them from spreading to the service personnel.By extracting the Toxic Gases & reducing the temperature considerable to ambient conditions, EES makes the environment safe & workable
Application of Exhaust Extraction System
EES is used in Regeneration Bay & Engine Bay of vehicle service centres. However there are few differences in the application.
Regeneration Bay is a bay dedicated for doing regeneration activity for BS6 vehicles where engine runs at higher RPM (45mins to 1 hour) and Engine Bay is a separate bay for performing engine tuning/ replacement of parts where noise & exhaust emissions are commonly generated.
EES for Regen Bay EES for Engine Bay
Types of Hoses
2 types(depending on model)
1 type of hose
Temperature Resistivity of Hoses
2 types of hoses:
700ᴼC +500ᴼC
700ᴼC
Not more than 200ᴼC
