Negative Pressure Relief Valve. 3 Way Thermostatic Valve Negative Pressure Relief Valve
Asbestos Abatement Enclosure Negative Air Pressure A flimsy asbestos abatement enclosure constructed with duct tape, plastic sheeting, thin-gauge wire, and free-standing lumber supports. Within only a few minutes after construction, the thin-gauge wire holding up the plastic ceiling and upper walls actually stretched like rubber-bands from the combined weight of the plastic and from the excessive pulling force by negative pressure airflow (note inward billowing) created by the air filtration device (in background). The precarious structure then promptly collapsed moments later, since the entire enclosure loosely rested atop free-standing lumber support members (without anchoring). Poorly Designed Asbestos Abatement Negative-Pressure Enclosure
Inexperienced asbestos abatement personnel try to figure out how to keep plastic sheeting from "bubbling" inside negative-pressure enclosure (NPE). Workers indicated they were "ready" to begin asbestos removal after installing enclosure barriers, donned their PPE, and activated the negative air filtration devices inside the proposed abatement work area. Within a matter of minutes, inadequate preparations became evident as the walls and floors began to billow-in or "bubble" and then seals failed and walls collapsed moments later requiring additional hours of set-up and repairs.
