Ventilation in the apartment: what do you need to know?

22

In the apartment, it is important to take care not only of a stylish interior and beautiful furniture, but also of a pleasant and healthy microclimate. Because air quality directly affects human health. The increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the room does not negatively affect the condition of the residents. Lack of fresh air causes drowsiness, headaches and general fatigue. In addition, viral bacteria spread more actively in rooms without ventilation.

At the moment, multi-apartment houses are built as isolated as possible, thus the ingress of fresh air into the apartment is naturally reduced to a minimum. How to make it comfortable microclimate in the apartment?

Natural ventilation

The most budgetary and least effective way of air exchange is natural ventilation, which can be divided into unorganized and organized.



In fact, open windows and vents are recognized as an unorganized ventilation system. In fact, this is an ordinary draft, which rather has a negative effect on health. The organized system is ventilation ducts in the construction of the house, the grates go out into dirty areas (bathrooms, bathrooms and kitchens). Thus, with the help of the air pressure difference in the room, air exchange is carried out. This option is safer, but not effective enough. Therefore, experts recommend paying attention to the forced ventilation system.

Forced ventilation

Such a method means the installation of special equipment, which forcibly organizes the supply of fresh air into the room and the extraction of used air. There are several types of forced ventilation:



- exhaust;

– forced tributary and natural;

– supply-exhaust with recuperation.

Exhaust ventilation system

Such a system includes the use of special equipment that provides periodic supply of fresh air from the street and discharge of polluted air. For this, supply, intake and supply-exhaust units, supply valves, household exhaust fans and other components can be used. It is also possible to organize a set ventilation system, which will function effectively in the complex.

Supply system of ventilation combined with natural

This system includes a supply unit, air ducts and ventilation grilles. The principle of operation of this option consists in the forced supply of air flows to clean zones and the removal of exhausted air through ventilation shafts located in toilets, bathrooms and kitchens.

Supply units provide a regular supply of purified air to the room. Special filters clean the air from insects, dust and other small particles. Thus, the apartment has a healthy microclimate and healthy air.

Supply and exhaust ventilation with recovery

This option is the most effective and economical. Ventilation installations are designed to balance the circulation of air flows between the premises and the street. As a result, deeply purified fresh air is supplied to the living rooms and the exhausted air is extracted from the dirty areas.

A significant advantage of such equipment is the built-in energy-efficient recuperator, which transfers heat from the exhaust air to the supply air, thereby removing the load from the heating system.

Why is it important to start designing the ventilation system before starting the repair?

The design stage is an important moment that cannot be missed. And it is recommended to contact an engineering company even before the start of repair work. What is the reason for such a decision?

First of all, the system will be designed specifically for the customer's needs and budget. The work of related organizations (builders, architects, designers, plumbers, etc.) will also be taken into account. It is important to include the engineering system and all the equipment in the interior design. It is possible to choose several options before the repair, which will be coordinated with the client or designer. It will be possible to integrate ventilation with other engineering systems (conditioning and steam humidification). As a result, tenants will receive an effective ventilation system that will not only improve the microclimate in the room, but will also be invisible.
