Industrial ventilation — supply, extract, LEV, smoke and process ventilation
Supply and extract ventilation, local exhaust ventilation (LEV / COSHH), smoke control, kitchen extract and dust extraction from 1,000 to 500,000 m³/h. ColdMatch runs vendor-neutral RFQs across 100+ audited manufacturers — benchmarking SFP, filtration class, heat recovery and lifecycle cost.
- LEV / COSHH-compliant local exhaust ventilation
- Kitchen, laboratory, welding and process extract
- Smoke control and pressurisation (EN 12101)
- Heat recovery on extract, EC plug-fan arrays

Industrial Ventilation — frequently asked
What SFP should I target for a new AHU?
Building regs across the EU/UK target SFP ≤ 1.6 W/(l/s) for supply and ≤ 1.0 for extract. Best-practice designs with EC plug-fans and generous coil face velocity hit 0.8–1.2.
Do I need LEV or general dilution?
LEV wins when a specific process (welding, soldering, spraying, chemical dosing) produces hazardous contaminants. Dilution ventilation is for occupancy loads — CO₂, odour, thermal.
How efficient is a heat wheel on extract?
60–85% sensible efficiency, with total efficiency up to 75% on enthalpy wheels. Payback in EU/UK climates is typically 2–4 years — skip only for cross-contamination-sensitive extracts.
How fast can ColdMatch tender ventilation packages?
48 hours to shortlist OEMs; 2–3 weeks for standard packages; 4–6 weeks for hygienic or smoke-control systems.
