Equipping the ventilation system in the apartment

The supply of ventilation in the apartment with filtration is a guarantee that the microclimate in your room will be right and healthy.

After all, in addition to drawing air, there must also be its inflow to ensure proper circulation.

Pribochnaya ventilation in the apartment - a device due to which the room forcedly receives a stream of fresh air, sucked by special ventilation systems.

Such air can pass special filtration, it can be heated up to the necessary temperature.

Indicators of indoor air stagnation:

• stale odor;
• smells from the kitchen are carried throughout the apartment;
• stuffiness in the bathroom;
• in the toilet for a long time preserves the aroma of a freshener for air;
• appearance of foci of mold near the window frames.

But the appearance of unpleasant odors is not the worst. Residents of non-ventilated houses experience oxygen starvation in the winter.

It appears as a bad mood and well-being, tired eyes, fast fatigue. And this is the most initial symptoms of lack of oxygen.

In addition, in the air of the room accumulates a huge amount of dust, particles of leather, animal hair, nap from clothing and carpet, which when inhaled directly into the body, which can cause an allergy.

Under such conditions, children and people susceptible to allergies suffer especially badly.

It is possible to solve the problem and it is absolutely necessary, all that is necessary for this is to install the own ventilation in the apartment with filtration.

With normal circulation of oxygen, all sources of allergies and substances harmful to the body will disappear from the apartment.

Most people are sure that by purchasing an air conditioner, the problem of air stagnation will be solved, in fact it is completely wrong, the air conditioner only partially filters the air, not giving an influx of pure oxygen.

Which living quarters need fresh air?

Modern plastic windows seal the apartment, like a submarine, it is in these apartments and houses that a constant flow of oxygen is needed.

But opening the window, the apartment gets not only fresh air, but dust, exhaust gases, which especially affects people living near highways.

The supply air system supplies pure oxygen from the outside to the apartment.

After you install this system with your own hands, you no longer need to ventilate the room, opening the windows, there will be no noise in the apartment, only clean air.

The system of filtration of supply ventilation will not allow to penetrate smells, dust and other sources of harm to the body.

Types of supply ventilation

All existing types of ventilation can be divided into 2 types:

• With natural circulation, it is the most common ventilation system installed in apartments. So, oxygen penetrates into the room from the street, and stagnant carbon dioxide, comes out with the help of an exhaust system;
• With forced circulation - when installing such a system requires the installation of a fan, which will contribute to creating the necessary pressure. Such a system is indispensable in private houses, especially in hot seasons, when the temperature of the air on the street and inside the premises is almost uniform, because of this, the absorption of oxygen from the street is reduced.

How the supply air works

Before you install a supply air in the house, you need at least a little understanding of the principle of its operation.

Ventilation of the house is as follows:

• Air from the rooms is drawn by ventilation ducts, through which it moves to the central air channel and out of it goes outside the house;
• If the volume of air removed from the room is greater than the volume of the inflow, then the hood will stop working. To prevent this, it is necessary to organize the supply of oxygen from the street. When you equip your house with plastic windows, you can install a conventional air valve, which is usually located on the wall or window pane. Some modern plastic windows are manufactured with a built-in ventilation valve, but the price for such windows is much higher.

The advantages of installing a supply ventilation system:

• a small price;
• the necessary amount of air is drawn into the apartment;
• small dimensions;
• individual selection for each house;
• automatic control device.

What does the ventilation system consist of?

The ventilation system consists of the following elements:

• air intake grate - it does not allow debris to enter the air ducts;
• filters - help clean the air drawn into the room. The filter device is selected for each room individually, based on the quality of the attracted air;
• air valves - regulate the volume of supply air;
• fans - control the direction of air flows through air channels;
• sound insulators;
• heating elements - heaters, equipped with heating of supply air to the required temperature;
• air ducts;
• automatic control system - controls the operation of all components of the structure;
• ventilation monoblocks - connect all the elements of the system.

Overview of supply air systems

Supply ventilation systems can be divided into two types.

Compact air intake systems

Compact system for installation in an apartment or house that provides only fresh air, has a small size, low price category and easy installation.

From the disadvantages of installing such a system, one can note an uneven air exchange, a limited area of ​​action.

The device of such ventilation system perfectly will be entered in any interior.

These devices have a low noise figure. Almost all compact air-handling systems are equipped with efficient filters.

Also some models have a system equipped with air heating.

Video:

Most manufacturers produce models that are mounted on walls, but there are options for mounting to a window pane or ceiling.

The power of such inflows is enough for about 10-45 square meters.

Complete supply units

The ventilation system of the inflow and exhaust is the most advanced devices, but they are much larger in size and the price for them is also much higher.

Such a supply unit is not suitable for fitting in an apartment, but for installation in a large house or office - this is the best option.

Advantages of a full-flush air-supply ventilation system:

• constant circulation of purified air in all rooms;
• qualitative improvement of air properties( filtration, heating or cooling, humidification);
• high-grade automatic climate control.

Full-value supply and ventilation systems are hinged, wall and floor, depending on the size.

Choosing the right: air conditioning or supply air?

The main differences of the supply system from the air conditioner are:

• Almost all models of air conditioners work in the air, which is located inside the premises, not allowing air from the street. So, for example, if only the exhaust air is left in the room, the air conditioner will heat or cool it. Some modern high-priced air conditioners are equipped with a ventilation system;
• The air conditioner that cleans the air in the room is not able to prevent dust, harmful microorganisms and other harmful particles from entering the room, since they do not have a deep filtration system;
• It is not always possible to install air-conditioning, sometimes it requires re-planning or dismantling of the wall. The inflow can be mounted in any room;
• The conditioner has a number of prohibitions, so, for example, you can not use the air conditioner at sub-zero temperature on the street. Fresh air ventilation has a climate control system, which heats the air to the required temperature, regardless of the weather conditions. When frost, the intensity of heating is much more effective.

But the air conditioner is sometimes extremely necessary.

Installing the supply system with their own hands

Elements of the flow regulator:

• fan;
• filters;
• heating element;
• shut-off valve.

In addition, you will need a sensor and a temperature controller, air ducts, a pressure sensor, clamps.

Video:

The main fastening element is a steel frame, it is fixed directly to the wall with screws by hand. Now we need to decide which ventilation device will be mounted.

The most used and simple is a combined ventilation system.

The fan will draw fresh air into the apartment, and the exhaust air will exit through the natural exhaust openings.

This version of the inflow is the cheapest and easiest to install, making it with your own hands will not be difficult.

A full-fledged ventilation system is usually installed on the entire residential building. The cost of such an influx is very high.

Ventilation with recirculation

Heating of intake air is carried out by means of a heating element.

Such ventilation has a number of installation restrictions: it is forbidden to install such a system in houses and apartments where there are sources of explosive gas.

In order to install ventilation with heated air with your own hands, the first step is to make a hole in the wall, above or below the window, or instead of the window.

Video:

The hole size must be larger than the airway. For subsequent insulation and sound insulation. It will be more convenient to arrange the ducts in a straight line, from the main room to the adjacent ones.

Diagram of installation:

• a valve is installed in front of the duct, which is activated when the airflow is absorbed by the fan;
• the manual adjustment valve must also be installed in case of the necessary forced shut-off of the air intake;
• filter for basic cleaning;
• fan and pressure sensor;
• charcoal filter;
• deep purification filter;
• element, equipped with heating.

When all parts are assembled, the wires are packed in a special box.

That's the whole briefing on the selection and installation of the own supply ventilation. The attached photos and video materials will simplify the process of installing such a system.
