To enjoy the fresh air in your living room, bedroom, or children’s room, it’s not enough to just open a window. Natural ventilation is able to provide air exchange, but it does not guarantee air purity or optimal humidity levels. And even more so – a comfortable temperature. In the winter months, when the heating is actively turned on, natural ventilation is the main source of heat loss. Properly designed room ventilation is a key aspect of ensuring a healthy and comfortable microclimate at home. A system tailored to your needs and room characteristics provides a constant flow of fresh air and exhaust air removal, removes harmful substances and excess moisture, and maintains optimal temperature and humidity in the room. PRANA specialists will tell you how to organize a ventilation system in a room and what you should know about it.
The importance of ventilation in the room
Ventilation at home helps you feel comfortable and enjoy fresh air, regardless of the time of day or season. Here are some reasons to install ventilation in your apartment:
- Health care. Constant access to fresh air and removal of exhaust air helps prevent the accumulation of harmful substances in the room. In particular, carbon dioxide, fumes from furniture and chemicals. A high concentration of such substances in the air irritates the respiratory tract and can cause throat diseases and allergic reactions. Poor air quality is especially dangerous for children, people with allergies, and those with asthma. Installing a ventilation system in each of the rooms helps to avoid negative consequences for the body.
- Your comfort. Properly designed ventilation with heat recovery helps to maintain an optimal temperature and microclimate, which provides a comfortable environment for living and working.
- Reduced humidity levels. Efficient supply and exhaust ventilation helps to remove excess moisture from the room, which prevents the formation of mold and mildew.
- Energy efficiency. A ventilation system with heat recovery (air recuperators) is a guarantee of maintaining a comfortable temperature, regardless of the weather outside the window. Installing such a system also provides savings on heating – now you won’t lose as much heat as with natural ventilation.
Is it possible to install ventilation in only one room, such as a bedroom or a nursery? Definitely, yes. The installation features of air recuperators allow you to install them in each room easily and quickly, without significant interference with the repair.
Ventilation for living rooms: how does heat recovery work?
Supply ventilation provides only fresh air. Exhaust ventilation provides for the removal of exhaust air. For the most efficient air exchange, supply and exhaust ventilation systems with heat recovery have been developed. This is equipment that combines the advantages of both types.
Heat recovery is a process in which the heat released in the room is stored and used to preheat fresh ventilation air coming from the outside. Heat recovery in a residential ventilation system is based on a copper heat exchanger located in the ventilation device.
Let’s take a closer look at how the heat recuperator works:
- Exhaust air removal. The heat energy contained in the outgoing air from the room (for example, from the kitchen, bedroom or other living quarters), which passes through the copper heat exchanger, is transferred to the incoming, fresh air.
- Preheating of fresh air. The fresh outside air entering the ventilation system passes through the heat exchanger, where it is heated by the heat generated by the exhaust stream.
- Supply of heated air to the room. After preheating, fresh air is supplied to the room, providing a comfortable temperature without unnecessary energy loss. Important: there is no mixing of the exhaust and supply air masses, as they move through separate channels of the heat exchanger.
Thus, heat recovery ensures efficient use of energy and preservation of heat that would otherwise be lost when the room is ventilated. This helps to reduce heating costs and provides a comfortable environment for residents.
Main aspects of ventilation system design and operation
In order to ensure effective ventilation of residential premises, it is necessary to carry out:
- Calculation of the required air exchange. To do this, take into account the area of the room, the number of people who will be in it, as well as the characteristics of the room (for example, kitchen, bathroom) to determine the amount of air required.
- Choosing a ventilation system. Various factors should be taken into account, such as cost, efficiency, technical capabilities of the building, etc.
- Regular maintenance. It is important to systematically inspect and clean ventilation ducts, filters, and fans to ensure reliable and efficient operation of the system.
- Air quality monitoring. Using sensors to measure humidity, temperature, and the concentration of harmful substances in the air can help identify problems in time and take the necessary measures.
