Mechanical ventilation is a critical life-support technique used in medical settings to assist individuals with compromised respiratory function.

It involves the use of a ventilator, a machine that helps deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from a patient’s lungs when they are unable to do so adequately on their own.

Rectangular Duct
These are ducts fabricated from sheet metals which are bent to form a rectangular shape then seemed. They are the most common ducts since they are easy to fabricate and install. Good for areas with headroom challenges since the dimensions can be altered as long as the aspect ratio is not compromised.
Turbine Ventilator
These are ventilators which are rotated by wind to extract hot stale air through the roof of buildings. They apply the principle of stack effect where hot air becomes lighter and naturally rise to the top of the room. The wind blows the ventilators which rotates and in the process get rids of the hot air. They should be combined with hollow block walls to act as a source of air to replace the extracted hot air.
Fresh Air Handling Unit
This is a unique kind of air handling unit which draws fresh air from the atmosphere and releases exhaust air back to the atmosphere. Commonly used in spaces with human occupation where fresh air is a requirement. Part of the exhaust air is usually regenerated to reduce energy needed in cooling ambient drawn air.

Disc Valve
These are circular devices with a disc a frame. The discs are usually put in such a way that the gap between it and the frame can be adjusted to control the volume of air through it. The disc is usually made of extruded aluminuim and powder coated while the frame is made of sheet metal. Usually galvanized iron. Used for air extraction in toilets, bathrooms and dump areas.
