Heating and ventilation: design features and interdependence

14-08-2018
Heating

Maintaining a certain microclimate in the room is almost always associated with the use of special heating equipment, which, in the course of its operation, emits combustion products, and therefore requires ventilation. Also worth noting is the fact that for the organization of proper heating it is necessary to carry out a uniform movement of air masses. Considering all such features, it can be understood that ventilation and heating are systems that must work in parallel with each other and meet strictly defined requirements.

Equipment using open fire

Considering such systems, first of all you should pay attention to the products that use open fire for their work, and it does not matter on what kind of fuel they operate.

In this case, the main thing to understand is that such constructions work in a complex, and if there is no adequate ventilation, then the installation of these elements will be prohibited. This is due to the fact that there is a special GOST, which is the main standardizing document and its violation is prohibited.

Chimney

  • First you need to say that such ventilation systems are usually installed in homes no more than five floors high.. This is a peculiar safety requirement, which is associated with the use of gas installations and equipment with open fire.
  • However, when creating individual projects, fire services often make concessions and give permission for the installation of such heating units., but only if there is a separate chimney.

  • It is also important to mention that there are heating ventilation units of the type ОV65 and ОВ95.. These products are designed to work in small spaces and are often used when heating the body of a car or a van. At the same time, they usually use gasoline for their work and also need to have proper ventilation of the air to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • It should be noted that the chimney or chimney must be made as an independent system.. Do not redirect the flow of combustion products through a normal line for ventilation. That is why the project of a residential building, in addition to the intake system and exhaust, usually contains a chimney.

Tip! Before installing such equipment and installing a chimney, it is necessary to create a special project that will take into account all the necessary elements and pass the necessary approvals. Given this, a specialist must produce such documentation.

Intake system

When designing heating and ventilation systems, for domestic purposes, drawings are usually not made by creating air-supply modules or individual tracks. It is believed that there is enough air that comes from the cracks in the windows or special technological holes.

In this case, it is calculated that the room will be periodically ventilated, which is also a prerequisite for the use of open burning equipment.

Installed ventilation of the inlet type, must contain heating filters and be located near the radiators so that the air entering the premises has the right temperature

However, if we take into account the power of most modern heating structures of this type, the installation of fresh air ventilation is simply necessary. It should also be noted that there is a special set of rules or a joint venture, which in some cases simply obliges to place this type of units for the forced supply of fresh air.

Tip! It is very important to correctly calculate the joint operation of the ventilation systems. They should not clog each other air masses or do not have a cyclic connection. That is why all of them are displayed on the project with accurate calculations.

Boilers and boilers

  • All modern heating systems and ventilation systems are fully interconnected with each other and are selected on the basis of the power and performance of the boiler.. Given this, his choice must be made very carefully, taking into account all the features of the strapping.

  • Most professionals prefer to install units with multiple circuits that can serve not only batteries, but also underfloor heating.. This creates working drawings, and with their help, determines the power of the future device, which naturally affects its location in the house.
  • Special attention should be paid to the boiler room.. The fact is that the ventilation and heating system can be quite voluminous, or a set of rules on arrangement requires its location strictly in a certain place. At the same time it should be equipped in a certain way.

  • Usually when designing ventilation and heating of this type of room is developed separately. In some cases, it has a separate system for removing combustion products and supplying fresh air, which is also equipped with its own chimney.

Tip! It is best to make boilers separate or located in semi-basements. At the same time, experts strongly recommend installing a window in them, as an additional means of transporting air masses.

Electric heating boilers have relatively small dimensions and are very economical.

Electrical equipment and radiators

At first glance it may seem that the fire requirements for heating and ventilation systems of this type are much smaller. However, one should not forget that almost all electric convectors of heating systems and boilers are of high power and can cause overload in the network. At the same time for their normal functioning also need to properly organize the movement of air masses.

Some types of electric boilers have an original design and perfectly fit into any interior.

Radiators

Standard systems usually have a special radiator valve that allows you to control the flow of water and, as a result, affect the heating level.

However, electronic devices have more accurate control systems that allow you to control the temperature with an accuracy of a degree. At the same time, there are programs that make it possible to perform a delayed start or a timer of work.

Electric radiators or convectors can be equipped with their own fans to distribute warm air around the room. Such a system of heating and ventilation is considered quite effective and saves money.

However, experts recommend using specially designed products to reduce costs, some of which use the method of water polarization with alternating current for heating.

Tip! If the house is using fully electric heating, then it is worth contacting the company supplying electricity to revise the tariffs. This will make it possible to obtain additional savings, and with the operation of all devices of this principle of operation.

Electric boilers

Products of this type can be installed even with your own hands, but only with the appropriate project and minimal skills. In fact, such a boiler is a more advanced version of a conventional water heater and may have a separate circuit allowing it to take over and its functions.

The internal structure of electric boilers for an experienced person is quite understandable, although it is not worth making an independent repair of such equipment.

It is worth noting that experts recently recommend the use of anode boilers. Their price is usually slightly higher, but due to their design they cannot overheat and consume minimal amounts of energy. Given this, such devices are recognized as one of the safest and most economical.

The simplest type of electrical systems using small boilers

It is important to note that, just like a convector, a similar boiler can have a timer for operating time, temperature control in degrees and a climate maintenance system that can be set for the entire week. All functions of a particular model are usually described in detail by the instruction that comes in the kit.

Tip! Electrical products do not need special ventilation, and especially in the chimney. It also reduces installation costs, although a minimum air movement system must be installed to increase comfort and moisture.

Complete indoor climate control systems have a lot of sensors and other elements of data collection and processing

Climate control

When modern heating and ventilation design is made, specialists are trying to automate all processes as much as possible. Most obviously, such technical solutions are implemented in air conditioners, although their use for heating is considered wasteful.

The use of full climate control systems significantly increases the level of comfort and saves

Most of the new structures for climate maintenance are created in such a way as to have a unified control system. At the same time, the control unit of the heating and ventilation system is located directly in the room itself, since it usually has a built-in temperature sensor. Therefore, the setting is made for each room individually.

Tip! Such systems have a fairly high cost, both in terms of equipment and during installation. However, spending once you can significantly increase the level of comfort in the room and then save.

There are special programs that allow you to create projects of this kind much more efficiently and at the same time they calculate all the necessary equipment

Conclusion

Having studied in detail the video proposed in this article, you can get more detailed information about the heating and the ventilation necessary for its normal functioning.

Also on the basis of the text proposed above, it is necessary to conclude that using boilers with an open source of fire it is very important to correctly remove carbon monoxide, while the circulation of air masses in the room allows heat to evenly distribute throughout the volume.
