Why is LEV SERVICING NECESSARY?

Regular servicing of LEV systems offers numerous advantages:

Enhanced system efficiency

Professional Local exhaust Ventilation (LEV) servicing ensures that your system operates at peak efficiency. This involves inspecting and maintaining key components such as hoods, ductwork, filters, and fans to guarantee optimal airflow and contaminant capture.

Compliance Assurance

The HSE stipulate specific performance standards for LEV systems. Regular servicing also helps ensure that the system is designed and maintained in accordance with these standards. To clarify, a serviced LEV system is more likely to comply with regulatory requirements, making it well-prepared for a successful LEV test.

Malfunctioning LEV that would have benefitted from servicing

Reduced downtime and Lower long-term costs

Routine maintenance not only prevents system failures but also extends the lifespan of your equipment. This proactive approach can save your business from the costly repercussions of unexpected breakdowns and replacement

Energy Efficiency

A properly maintained LEV system operates more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and associated costs. This not only benefits the environment but also contributes to the sustainability goals of your organization.

 

LEV servicing causes improved safety for employees

By effectively controlling and removing hazardous substances, a well-maintained LEV system contributes to a healthier workplace. This, also, reduces the risk of respiratory issues and other health problems associated with occupational exposure.

Equipment Longevity:

Regular servicing contributes to the longevity of the equipment. A well-maintained system is less prone to unexpected failures or malfunctions, reducing the likelihood of issues arising during the test.

In conclusion, a serviced LEV system is more likely to pass an LEV test because it is optimized for performance, calibrated for efficient airflow, and maintained in accordance with regulatory standards. Investing in routine servicing not only ensures a safer working environment for employees but also positions the system for success in meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements during official assessments.

What LEV Servicing can Synergy help with?

clogged filter needs lev servicing

 

During a Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) service, several consumables should be inspected and, if necessary, replaced to ensure the optimal performance of the system. Regular maintenance helps uphold the effectiveness of LEV systems in controlling and capturing airborne contaminants. Here are key consumables that should be checked and potentially changed during an LEV service:

Filters:

Filters are critical components in LEV systems, responsible for trapping airborne contaminants. Over time, filters can become clogged or saturated, diminishing their efficiency. Synergy can inspect and replace filters to maintain effective contaminant capture.

Seals and Gaskets:

Seals and gaskets prevent air leakage in the ductwork and connections of the LEV system. Damaged or worn seals can compromise the system’s performance. Synergy can check and replace seals and gaskets as needed to ensure airtight connections.

Belts and Pulleys:

In systems with motor-driven components, such as fans, belts and pulleys play a crucial role. Inspect these components for wear, tension, and alignment. Replace any worn or damaged belts and pulleys to prevent performance issues and system failures.

Hoses and Ductwork:

Flexible hoses and rigid ductwork are essential for directing airflow in the LEV system. Inspect hoses for wear, cracks, or blockages. Ensure that ductwork is free from damage and securely connected. Replace any compromised hoses or duct sections to maintain proper airflow.

Capture Hoods:

The capture hood is the point where contaminants are initially drawn into the LEV system. Inspect the hood for proper alignment, condition, and any signs of damage. Replace or adjust the capture hood if necessary to optimize contaminant capture.

Fasteners and Brackets:

Check all fasteners, bolts, and brackets securing components of the LEV system. Vibrations and constant use can cause these elements to loosen over time. Tighten or replace any loose or damaged fasteners to ensure stability and structural integrity.

Electrostatic Precipitator Plates (if applicable):

In some LEV systems, electrostatic precipitators are used to remove particulate matter. If your system includes these plates, check for cleanliness and functionality. Clean or replace plates as required to maintain efficient particulate removal.

Instrument Calibration:

If the LEV system includes monitoring instruments, such as airflow sensors or pressure gauges, ensure they are properly calibrated. Calibration is essential for accurate readings and effective system control. Calibrate or replace instruments if necessary.

Regularly changing these consumables during an LEV service helps ensure the system’s continued effectiveness in controlling airborne contaminants. The specific consumables to be replaced may vary based on the type of LEV system, its components, and the nature of the workplace environment. Always follow manufacturer recommendations and industry standards for LEV maintenance and replacement procedures.
