Vehicle Exhaust Removal System 238400 -6 1
' 2.05 VEHICLE EXHAUST REMOVAL SYSTEM EQUIPMENT:
A. Scope of System Operation:
The vehicle exhaust removal system shall capture 100 % of the exhaust emissions
directly at the tailpipe of the vehicle and exhaust those emissions to a specified
area safely outside the building. The operating controller shall be designed to
complete this cycle. A pneumatically operated collection nozzle shall be
connected to the motor vehicle's exhaust tailpipe, when the vehicle is started by
the driver, the exhaust fan will automatically energize and vent the toxic gases
directly to the outside of the building. This automatic feature shall be achieved by
means of a pressure sensor located inside the exhaust ducting; this pressure sen-
t sor shall sense the engines output pressure upon the first stroke of the engine pis-
ton and energize the fan starter. The automatic controller shall use an adjustable
timer to keep the contactors energized for a designated period of time. Should
the operating vehicle not exit the station within the designated preset time period,
a temperature override switch shall be incorporated to override the timer relay.
This override shall be achieved by means of an adjustable temperature sensor
located inside the exhaust ductwork. The adjustable temperature (heat) sensor
shall have a range of 90 -130 degrees. If the vehicle is still running inside the sta-
tion longer then anticipated, the heat sensor will override the timer relay. The
' pneumatic connection device shall stay connected to the vehicle tailpipe as it
travels to the exit door in a pre- engineered sliding track system. The sliding track
shall be securely attached to the building structure and supports a flexible hose
assembly that moves with vehicle inside the station. As the vehicle nears the exit
door, the pneumatic nozzle connection located at the tailpipe shall release its air
pressure automatically therefore releasing the nozzle from the tailpipe. This shall
be accomplished by means of un uncoupling valve strategically located on the
sliding track. After the system releases the vehicle tailpipe at the door, it shall
retract passively and smoothly into a convenient storage position. When the
' vehicle returns to the station, a system operator manually pulls the flexible hose
assembly to the entrance door. The system operator holds the pneumatic
connection device apploximately 18" from the floor and at the door threshold.
The system operator, without bending over, attaches the pneumatic connection
device just inside the door threshold as the vehicle enters the station, at which
time the exhaust fan motor energizes. The vehicle driver momentarily stops the
vehicle when the tailpipe is just at the door threshold (a backup man will notify
the driver when it is time to stop the vehicle).
Vehicle Exhaust Removal System 238400 -7
F. Exhaust Penetrations:
To protect the fire departments best interest ductwork shall only penetrate exterior
walls rather than a roof penetration. In all cases when making a wall penetration
'
through masonry or concrete walls it shall be done by the use of a professional
core - drilling machine. The core drilling shall be properly sized to reduce the dia-
meter of the opening to the smallest possible size. Only after all possible avenues
'
for wall penetration are exhausted, shall the roof penetration be accepted. The
original roofing contractor shall perform the work if possible to insure any
warranties on the existing roof are not voided. If the original roofing contractor
can not be notified a licensed roofing contractor shall be used.
' 2.05 VEHICLE EXHAUST REMOVAL SYSTEM EQUIPMENT:

directly at the tailpipe of the vehicle and exhaust those emissions to a specified
area safely outside the building. The operating controller shall be designed to

The system operator, without bending over, attaches the pneumatic connection
device just inside the door threshold as the vehicle enters the station, at which
time the exhaust fan motor energizes. The vehicle driver momentarily stops the
vehicle when the tailpipe is just at the door threshold (a backup man will notify
the driver when it is time to stop the vehicle).
Vehicle Exhaust Removal System 238400 -7
The system operator, standing straight up with the pneumatic slide valve in his left
hand, shall slide the connection device up against a flanged adapter attached to
the vehicle tailpipe; the operator will then inflate the pneumatic nozzle around
tailpipe. The cycle is completed as the exhaust fan starts and vents the toxic gases
with the pneumatic connection nozzle firmly attached to the vehicle exhaust pipe.
The vehicle then proceeds to its designated resting position.
B. Sliding Track:
The sliding track shall be a one -piece continuous extruded aluminium track in a
minimum length of 20 feet. The construction profile shall be of a Boxloc type pro-
file, which shall adhere to the following dimensions. Track height 3 1/8", width
1 1/2"', thickness 1/8". The track material shall be aircraft aluminium alloy type
AA- 06063. The aluminium track shall be an extruded design that shall incorpo-
rate three separate and functioning channels. The three channels shall be for the
following, mounting channel, trolley channel and the Boxloc channel. Each of
these sections performs a specific function to make the system work effectively.
The mounting compartment shall be designed to accept the slider bars (which
shall be provided with factory supplied vertical legs and riser clamp duct
connection) and allow positioning along the full length of the slotted track
mounting channel. The mounting channel shall also accommodate the com-
pressed airlines for the purposes of safe storage and appearance. The trolley
channel shall allow the trolley /balancer /hose assembly to glide to the door
threshold in a safe and effective manner. The Boxloc channel shall allow the
whole track to remain rigid as it hangs from factory supplied leg supports and
also shall provide an area to attach bolts for splicing additional tracks together
