Ventilation in the bath: manufacturing features and purpose

Bath is one of the most important achievements of mankind, which in the early stages contributed to the prevention of various diseases, and later became the cultural heritage of many nations. It should be noted that the manufacturing technology and method of operation of such structures can be very different from each other. In this case, special attention should be paid to such a device as forced ventilation in the bath, since it can be an integral part of the process and even be responsible for safety.

Purpose and features

To begin with, it is necessary to say that the value of such systems is sometimes greatly underestimated. Some masters believe that it is enough to create one small hole, which will represent the entire ventilation device in the bath. However, the truth is that in order to work properly, something more is needed than a window that opens or a vent.

Purpose

• First of all, such a system is necessary in order to go through it with excess carbon monoxide gas, which often appear in such premises, especially if they use furnaces that have an open fire or stones to transfer the temperature. If the ventilation scheme in the baths does not work correctly, then it will simply not be possible to stay in it, as this may cause a deterioration of health and even death.

• It should also be said that most of these structures are designed to properly distribute hot air in the room.. However, only with the proper manufacture of such ventilation can you maintain a certain temperature for a long time, ensuring a constant flow of fresh air.
• Special attention should be paid to the fact that ventilation in the Russian bath is also needed in order to reduce the humidity in the room.. If this is not done, then such an atmosphere will cause mold or mildew, which adversely affect human health and can cause various diseases.

Tip! When choosing such systems, you should not rely on the old methods of organizing ventilation, since modern technologies have gone much further in this area and are more efficient.

Species

• The most common system of this kind is the hood. This ventilation is put in the waiting room of the bath, so that no moisture is collected in the room.
• Also, the discharge system is mounted in the steam room itself. It serves as the aphid removal of residual products of combustion and carbon dioxide. It is worth noting that some masters prefer to use only this type of structures.

• It should be noted that for such a product, a special vent plug for a bath is needed. It is used to close the hole at the time of kindling, when there are no people in the room.
• Also, there are ventilation. They provide fresh air to the room and are sometimes the only source of proper circulation.
• It is important to mention that the proper ventilation of the bath is made in the form of a forced system. Therefore, it is worth installing fans on all openings or acquiring ready-made inserts with closing hatches.

Tip! If for the usual room it is possible to use only one kind of a similar construction, then for the steam room it is necessary to apply a combined approach with forced ventilation.

Optimal manufacturing

To date, there are many options for manufacturing steam rooms with different types of movement of air masses. However, they usually differ only in the location of technological holes. That is why this article will consider the most optimal ventilation plan in the bath, which can be used on almost any design.

Hoods

The presence of such structures is not only desirable, but is a mandatory requirement, which makes installation instructions. At the same time, it is worthwhile to say that in the steam room it is usually installed practically under the ceiling, on the wall opposite to the device for heating. This is considered to be the optimal installation site, since all unnecessary and harmful gases are usually either lighter than air or rise with hot streams.

It is also important to say that all rooms of a similar structure usually equip with hoods. At the same time, the ventilation in the washing bath can be combined with the same product in the dressing room, but in the steam room there should be its own ventilation outlet. It can only be merged into one highway, but if it is from it, the main exit goes out.

It must be remembered that such technological openings cause a decrease in the temperature in the room. That is why in order to exercise personal control over this process, it is necessary to install vent valves for the bath.

Tip! It is best to use finished products for such purposes, which are installed in the holes and have their own valve besides the fan. However, to save money, a small mesh that prevents the entry of debris and a lid made of finishing materials is quite suitable.

Inlet structures

Usually the ventilation system in the bath involves the use of such products only in the steam room. This is necessary in order to ensure a uniform flow of hot but fresh air throughout the entire volume of the room. In this case, it will work in tandem with the hood, which means that it is necessary to correctly position both devices.

If the work is done by hand, the best technological hole to do at the bottom of the room. It is usually located twenty centimeters from the floor near the stove or directly behind it, provided that it is directly blown with air. In fact, oxygen outside enters the room only after it passes through the stone, creating a uniform temperature.

With this method of placement, hot air will circulate throughout the room until it enters the hood. That is why it is located opposite the ventilation itself, but only on the upper levels. It is worth noting that recently finished products of this type have begun to appear, which are used for a bath, but their price is sometimes quite high.

Tip! If you use inserts for technological holes with conventional plastic fans, you can either damage them when heated, or get poisoning with harmful substances that can be released. Therefore, you should use special devices with the necessary properties.

Conclusion

After studying the video in this article, you can examine in detail these types of systems and their use in such premises. In this case, based on the article above, it is necessary to conclude that the presence of such devices is simply necessary in rooms with elevated temperature and high humidity (see also the article Ventilation in the steam room - the device and features).

However, ventilation in the bath should be created according to strictly defined rules, taking into account the peculiarities of the furnace, the volume of the room and the type of air distribution. Therefore, an individual approach is required for each individual case.
