Vehicle Exhaust Extraction

Safety from Contaminants

Exhaust Fume Extraction

It is strongly advised that garages conducting Servicing and Maintenance of vehicles use exhaust fume extraction to keep staff, customers and sensitive electronic equipment safe from contaminants. Removing vehicle exhaust keeps your employees, customers, equipment and facility healthy and in good working order.

Exhaust fumes can quickly reach harmful concentrations, particularly from cold or intermittently run engines (when running indoors without exhaust ventilation). Don’t rely on catalytic converters to run engines safely indoors. They are less effective when exhaust gases are relatively cool, e.g: from vehicles idling for long periods or used intermittently for short periods. Catalytic converters do not remove toxic oxides of nitrogen.

Reduce Harmful Pollutants

Diesel Exhaust Extraction

Diesel exhaust fume, found in every vehicle service station which includes trucks, buses, emergency response vehicles, private vehicles, farm machinery and construction equipment, is produced when an engine burns diesel fuel.

The specific composition of the exhaust fume depends on factors such as fuel quality, engine type and engine condition. It is a complex mixture of thousands of gases and particles (soot) containing several toxic air contaminants. These include many known or suspected carcinogenic substances (benzene, arsenic and formaldehyde).

It also contains other harmful pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Because of their particle size, if they are inhaled, they can reach deep down into the lung. Even short-term exposure to diesel exhaust can cause eye irritation, breathing problems and inflammatory symptoms. Prolonged (chronic) exposure can lead to coughing and breathlessness, lung damage and (depending on exposure) an increased risk of lung cancer.

Skilled

P&M LEV Specialists can design, supply, install and test vehicle exhaust systems from a variety of manufacturers to meet your budget and requirements.

Specialists

Locomotives and emergency response vehicles may require specially designed systems which automatically engage the vehicle before extraction is started and disengage once the vehicle has moved from the bay.

Diverse

We have previously installed systems for a diverse range of vehicles including; cars, vans, military vehicles, HGVs, airport emergency vehicles and Fire Engines.
