Abstract
A vapor mitigation system includes at least one vacuum pipe configured to collect vapors beneath a floor of a building, and a blower coupled to the at least one vacuum pipe. The blower is configured to create a vacuum under the floor of the building. The vapor mitigation system includes a controller configured to control a speed of the blower. The controller adjusts the speed of the blower in response to a level of vacuum created under the floor of the building.
Claims20
A vapor mitigation system, comprising:
- at least one vacuum pipe configured to collect vapors beneath a floor of a building;
- a blower coupled to the at least one vacuum pipe, the blower configured to create a vacuum under the floor of the building;
- and
- a controller configured to control a speed of the blower, wherein the controller adjusts the speed of the blower in response to a level of vacuum created under the floor of the building.

A vapor mitigation system, comprising:
- a blower coupled to at least one vacuum pipe, the blower configured to extract vapor from beneath the floor of the building;
- a mass air flow sensor coupled to the at least one vacuum pipe, the mass air flow sensor configured to measure a level of mass flowrate of vapor extracted from beneath the floor of the building;
- a contaminant sensor coupled to the at least one vacuum pipe, the contaminant sensor configured to measure a level of contaminant in the vapor extracted from beneath the floor of the building;
- and
- a controller configured to calculate an amount of contaminant extracted from beneath the floor of the building.

A vapor mitigation system, comprising:
- a blower coupled to at least one vacuum pipe, the blower configured to extract vapor from beneath the floor of the building;
- a mass air flow sensor coupled to the at least one vacuum pipe, the mass air flow sensor configured to measure a level of mass flowrate of vapor extracted from beneath the floor of the building;
- and
- a controller configured to adjust the speed of the blower so that the level of mass flowrate of vapor extracted from beneath the floor of the building remains substantially constant.
