Where should the intake of a forced ventilation system for a chlorinator room be located?

The intake of a forced ventilation system for a chlorinator room should be located near the floor because chlorine gas, which is heavier than air, tends to settle at lower levels in a space. By placing the intake near the floor, any leaks or accumulations of chlorine gas can be effectively ventilated out of the room. This configuration helps maintain a safer environment for operators and reduces the risk of chlorine exposure, which can be harmful.

Effective ventilation is crucial in spaces where chemicals, such as chlorine, are used so that any hazardous gases can be removed promptly and efficiently. Ventilation systems designed with this consideration in mind enhance safety and air quality, ensuring that the operators working in the chlorinator room are protected from potentially dangerous gases that might accumulate due to improper handling or system failures.
