自1951年第一版《工业通风:推荐操作手册》以来，工程师、监管者和工业卫生学家一直在使用该手册来设计和评估工业通风系统。从第26版开始，该手册经历了几次重大的重组和升级——增加了第二份专门用于操作和维护的概要手册；随后增加了关于系统组织和评估的章节；公制解和表；以及计算表和方法。现在，在第30版中，加入了计算流体力学（CFD）的许多章节和概念图中的更改，以进行澄清，并加入了对气流模式更简单的概念性理解。本手册是一本实用的用户手册，其编写遵循了更简单、更简洁的解释方法。 此外，该手册还纳入了焊枪真空抽气的新控制概念，以补充第29版中的四个新概念设计策略。引用:非ASHRAE书籍

Since its first edition in 1951, Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice has been used by engineers, regulators and industrial hygienists to design and evaluate industrial ventilation systems.Beginning with the 26th Edition, the Manual has undergone several major reorganizations and upgrades – the addition of a second compendium Manual dedicated to operation and maintenance; subsequent additions of chapters on organization and evaluation of systems; metric solutions and tables; and calculation sheets and methods.Now in its 30th Edition, changes in many of the chapters and conceptual figures that incorporate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been added for clarification and incorporated for simpler conceptual understanding of airflow patterns. Care has been taken to make this Manual a practical user’s handbook, written with deference toward a simpler and more concise means of explanation.In addition, the Manual incorporates a new control concept for vacuum extraction on welding guns to complement the four new conceptual design strategies found in the 29th Edition.
