NR 440.22(2)(d)(d) “Monovent” means an exhaust configuration of a building or emission control device, for example a positive-pressure fabric filter, that extends the length of the structure and has a width very small in relation to its length, that is, length to width ratio is typically greater than 5:1. The exhaust may be an open vent with or without a roof, louvered vents or a combination of such features. NR 440.22(3)(a)(a) On and after the date on which the performance test required to be conducted by s.
