Household ventilation equipment: features of choice and

In this article we will talk about what kind of ventilation equipment for an apartment is on the market and what schemes can be implemented with the use of such devices. The topic of the article is of considerable interest, since the comfort of living indoors depends on how well the ventilation equipment is selected.

General information

Still relatively recently, air exchange in a residential area was provided solely by gaps in window and door wooden frames. Today, with the advent of plastic windows and hermetic entrance doors, the intensity of air exchange has substantially diminished.

As a result, the need arose for the application of fundamentally new air exchange schemes and, as a result, the need for special equipment.

Before you choose equipment for ventilation and air conditioning of residential premises, consider the basic schemes for ensuring air exchange in an apartment or in a country house.

Current schemes of ventilation devices

The instruction for improving the air quality in a residential area involves the use of the following ventilation device diagrams:

• The intake circuit is implemented by supplying clean air with air handling units.. In this case, ventilation is based on the principle of exhaust air being expelled by flows from outside.

Important: This scheme can only be forced.

Air handling units are represented by a wide range of modifications that are built into the window frames or into the wall.

A separate category of installations is implemented as a channel system, when a single blower drives air through pipes into several separate rooms. Another category of devices involves the installation of a separate low-power supercharger in each individual room.

Important: Duct systems are the optimal choice if ventilation is designed at the same time as planning a building site. The second category of devices is the preferred choice for installation in an already operated building.

• The exhaust circuit is implemented according to the principle of removing the exhaust air volume into a ventilation well or into special exhausts.. Fresh air replaces the volume brought out through the vents or vents.

When constructing such a system, installation of ventilation equipment will be required, which will be able to efficiently discharge the exhaust air once during a certain period of time. The location of the hoods can be selected both in accordance with the configuration of the premises, and in accordance with the preferences of the customer.

Important: The exhaust scheme is relevant only if your home is located in an environmentally clean area. If the air outside the house is not clean enough, there is a high probability that the pollution will penetrate.

• Supply and exhaust circuit is the most productive, as it combines the two previously described systems. Ventilation of supply and exhaust type can be both natural and forced.

Forced systems are less dependent on climatic conditions outside the object, and in addition, they are characterized by greater controllability compared to passive counterparts. Forced systems are built using injection systems that are responsible for the supply and discharge of air.

For greater functionality, such devices can work in conjunction with heating.

Important: A correct schedule for the design of ventilation equipment in public and industrial buildings is necessary, but with regard to domestic air exchange systems, regular maintenance is also required.

List of equipment for air exchange in the room

Currently, equipment for the manufacture of ventilation on the market is represented by a wide range of domestic and foreign developments.

Despite the variety of proposals, the following devices will be required for the formation of an efficient supply and exhaust system in a country house or apartment:

• supply fans;
• exhaust fans;
• filters;
• air ducts;
• soundproofing;
• air heaters (if you intend to control the air temperature).

Consider what constitutes each of these categories.

Inlet duct fans

This is a wide range of devices that differ in configuration, performance and level of noise produced.

• Fans are mounted in ducts and due to the rotation of the blades give the threads the necessary direction.
• According to the channel configuration, round and rectangular fans are distinguished.
• Choosing a fan for a household system, you need to pay attention to the noise level.
• Despite the fact that the price of low-noise units is high, these devices guarantee the greatest comfort of living indoors.

Exhaust Equipment

This category is represented by duct fans and modifications that are mounted directly into the wall. The cost of installing ventilation equipment, despite its simplicity, is high, and therefore you can do this job with your own hands.

  Important: All household fans are powered from a normal 220-volt network, which simplifies installation.

Auxiliary items

• Filters on sale are presented by the wide list of various modifications which are intended for purification of air from foreign inclusions.

• Air ducts are metal or plastic pipes of rectangular or circular cross section used to connect ventilation equipment into a single system.

• Sound insulation does not belong to the category of ventilation equipment, but must be used if you are interested in the comfort of living.
• Air duct heaters allow you to heat the intake air. Such heating and ventilation schemes are used in many office buildings.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that the suppliers of ventilation equipment have filled the market with many different devices, it is easy to select the necessary components. It is enough to determine the parameters of the future ventilation system and there will not be an error in the choice of equipment.
