The Russian bath for our population is a kind of historical heritage and public property. Throughout the ages she has played important role in the lives of all people. The bath is still famous for its ability to improve human health, and bath procedures are an excellent way to normalize metabolism and relieve stress.

That is why baths and saunas are growing like mushrooms on the sites of our homeowners and summer residents.

How to organize ventilation

But building a good Russian bath is not a very simple matter, as it might seem at first glance. To create a healthy atmosphere in these buildings, very important issue is a ventilation device in the steam room of the bath.

How to set up this system correctly? To do this, you need to understand the principle by which fresh air enters the room, mixes and exits. Good ventilation in the steam bath should carry out a complete exchange of air in the steam room at least three times per hour.

To meet the parameters of the steam room with sanitary standards, we will consider in detail the design of the ventilation system.

In the most careful way, it is necessary to calculate the system that ensures the circulation of flows in steam room. High-quality ventilation of the steam room of the bath will allow you to take procedures without fear of getting black, even if the stove is in the steam room.

It is possible to ensure the correct circulation of flows in several ways. If you decide with your own hands, then you need to explore all these options and choose the most suitable for you.

Scheme No. 1

Instructions for the location of the ventilation holes:

1. we place the entrance hole behind the stove at a height of about 50 cm from the clean floor;
2. we arrange the outlet on the opposite wall, it is slightly lower, about 30 cm from the floor;
3. Install an exhaust fan at the outlet.

Let's see how the system works in this variant:

1. cool flow enters through the inlet channel;
2. at the stove, the air heats up and rises;
3. cooling, the flow goes down and exits through the hood.

The air in the steam room with this variant of the location of the ventilation holes warms up evenly.

Important. The lower you place the outlet duct, the stronger the air circulation will be. You can adjust the flow with a fan.

Sometimes a variation of this scheme is used, where the output and input channels are located at the same level and only 20 cm from the floor. With this arrangement, the ventilation of the steam bath will only function well if there is an outlet fan.

Scheme No. 2

In this case, the air flow takes a different path:

1. cold streams enter the room through the inlet, which is located 30 cm from the floor on the wall opposite the stove;
2. they hit the stove, heat up and rise up;
3. the waste stream exits through the outlet channel, which is located above the inlet channel, at a distance of 30 cm from.

The disadvantage of this option is that cold streams go down the legs until they hit the stove and heat up.

Scheme No. 3

This option is used in those rooms of the steam room where there are technological gaps in the floors. Ventilation in the steam room of the Russian bath according to this option is very effective for air exchange in the room and helps to keep wood flooring gender long time in perfect condition.

This scheme can also be organized in two variations. In both cases, the entrance is made behind the stove at a distance of 30 cm from the floor.

And the hoods are arranged as follows:

1. an exhaust hole is made under the floor, on the opposite wall from the stove, which rises outside the steam room to the roof of the structure;
2. an exhaust hole is made at the top, 30 cm below the ceiling, it also goes into the ventilation pipe.

Advice. Combining these two options will make it possible to control the flow of air in the steam room.
Do not forget to only equip the outlet channels with valves.

Scheme No. 4

Important. The use of this option is possible only with a constantly heating furnace, since the blower itself serves as an exhaust hood.
And the blower is able to absorb air and remove it from the bath only when the stove is running.

This scheme functions as follows:

1. the inlet channel is arranged 30 cm from the floor opposite the stove;
2. the role of the hood is performed by a firebox with a blower and a chimney;
3. the fresh stream heats up, rises to the ceiling, then cools and falls down, where it exits through the furnace.

Summary

Classical bath procedures have a beneficial effect on human health, especially if all the necessary norms and rules were observed during the construction of the bath. The work of ventilation inside the steam room should be aimed at a constant outflow of the spent portion of air and the inflow of a fresh portion.

Air can enter the steam room through vents, half-open doors, or maybe through special vents. It is better to organize the outflow by force. Price exhaust fans not very high, and the costs will be justified by the fact that the organization of air exchange in the steam room will be at the highest level.

Application correct scheme air circulation will help you make the atmosphere in the steam room healthy, and washing in the bath is a welcome procedure for your family. In the presented video in this article you will find Additional information on this topic.

A bathhouse on the site is an extremely useful structure: to sit with friends and improve the body. But for the effect to be maximum, you need good ventilation in the steam room.

If this moment is missed during construction, both the well-being of visitors to the bath and the integrity of the building may suffer.

Let's try to understand the principles of ventilation, as well as how to properly equip forced ventilation in the sauna.

The ventilation of any living space must be organized correctly, and with regard to the bath, this is even more important. This room is characterized high humidity and sharp drops temperature. If the air exchange is not balanced, then a bath built from natural wood in a couple of years it will need a major overhaul.

In addition, without ventilation in the steam room there will be an extremely unpleasant and even health-threatening microclimate: heavy air, mold, unpleasant odors etc. Natural ventilation is considered optimal for a Russian bath, the organization of which does not require large expenditures or complex building skills.

Conclusions and useful video on the topic

Detailed and interesting information about the principles of ventilation of the steam room are set out here:

Undoubtedly, ventilation in the bath is necessary. Only under the condition of proper air exchange, bathing procedures will really bring real benefits to the health of visitors, and the owners of the building will be spared from additional costs for mold control and maintenance.

We have repeatedly addressed the topic of bath ventilation, but these were materials regarding its theoretical part.

This article corrects the preponderance of theory and is entirely devoted to practical matters bath ventilation devices.

How to make ventilation in the bath: plan at the construction stage

Indeed, there are far from isolated cases of the construction of baths without any kind of ventilation. At first glance it seems that the train has already left. However, in reality there is always the opportunity to fix everything, however, you will have to come to terms with the fact that this will cost a pretty penny. It is especially difficult to make forgotten ventilation in brick bath where ventilation ducts are laid in the walls during the construction phase. But in other cases, the task is not easy.

But what does it mean to plan during the construction phase? Primarily we are talking about the layout of the ventilation openings and the channels by which they are connected to the street or neighboring rooms (depending on the choice). Based on this scheme, the volume of rooms and standards, the diameter of the pipes is calculated, which provides the necessary gas exchange in each of the bath rooms: a steam room, a washing room, a rest room, a dressing room, a toilet. If the ventilation is forced, then the power of the fans is calculated.

If the bath is already built

Let's take, as an example, an ordinary Russian bathhouse, in which they forgot to make ventilation holes. In principle, if there are windows, and the furnace firebox is located inside the steam room, then you can do without drilling holes at all. But you will have to constantly resort to burst ventilation and use the draft of the furnace as a ventilation one.

This will solve the problem in general, but there are downsides to be aware of:

1. By opening windows and doors, we do not so much reduce the temperature in the room, but distill the steam into other rooms (instead of the street where the inflow comes from, it goes inside and condensate falls there), and then the steam comes out, and the temperature has only dropped slightly and will recover in a short time.
2. To use stove draft, you still have to make holes, but only in the lower part of the steam room door. Then an influx from neighboring premises will go through it, which, in turn, will pull through the cracks from the street.

To adjust the ventilation with the help of the furnace, the gate and furnace doors are used. If you need to increase air exchange, just open the damper and the firebox doors to the stop. To reduce it, the gate is covered, but not completely, because when closed with unburnt firewood, this is a guarantee of carbon monoxide poisoning.

By the way, the problem of forgotten ventilation in a bath made of any material is solved by the methods described. They cannot completely replace the supply and exhaust ventilation, but they relieve the worry of making holes in the walls.

If such ventilation is not enough, you will have to drill the wall. But more on that below.

Device, schemes: how to make ventilation in the bath

There are a number of materials included in other articles, therefore, in order not to repeat ourselves, we suggest that you follow the links below - there you will find a lot useful information on the topic of interest:

Do-it-yourself ventilation in the bath: a step-by-step guide

Now let's proceed to the analysis of the points that make up the creation of bath ventilation with our own hands, let's call it a step-by-step guide.

Schema selection

In terms of choosing a scheme, the answer to the question “how to properly ventilate in a bath” is ambiguous, since there are different schemes. Physics says that the inlet should be located below the exhaust. What exactly will be the height difference between them is up to you. Despite the fact that in many sources it is proposed to make an exhaust hole under the ceiling (but in no case on the ceiling, so as not to spoil the attic with condensate), there is a more advanced scheme in which there are two exhaust holes inside for one exhaust hole outside. It's simple: a pipe with two holes is placed - lower behind the middle shelf and under the ceiling, and this pipe has one exit to the street.

The schemes also differ in what walls to make the hood on. Most often, there are no questions with the inflow - it is done under the stove, and the hood is made on the opposite, and on the same walls, and with access to the street, and to the adjacent room.

Choose the optimal ventilation flow path

Only calculations are made for forced ventilation. For a natural one, many factors have to be taken into account, in particular, the strength and direction of the winds that usually blow in this area. Why is it necessary? Let's take the case when the exhaust opening faces the same side from which a strong wind is blowing. And it turns out that because of this, the influx strives to get into the exhaust hole. Then the supply will also “turn around” in the opposite direction. This is called reverse thrust or thrust tipping.

In order to avoid this, the ventilation ducts can be extended to lead in the right direction, and even done with turns, which, by the way, reduce the speed of air movement.

The idea is simple: it is better to orient the inlet to the side where the wind often blows, and the outlet of the hood is on the opposite side or through the roof along a high pipe.

ADVICE! Rather than making ventilation ducts with knees, it is better to immediately make forced ventilation.

By the way, not every wall will well accept a ventilation duct in its thickness. Better not to do something like this outer walls from blocks. All ventilation is carried out interior walls and partitions, often over walls.

How to make a hole in a wall

This point is discussed in more detail below.

Installation of pipes and gratings

Galvanized pipes can be used as an air duct.

ATTENTION! If you take plastic ones, pay attention to their temperature range so that the steam room does not spoil them.

Ventilation in the dressing room

The vestibule must be warm room with fresh air, in which it is comfortable to be after bath procedures. Therefore, it is usually equipped with only one ventilation hole - an exhaust hood. And to speed up the process of gas exchange, a fan is often placed on this hood. The exhaust hole itself is located opposite the steam room at a height of half a meter. He's being drilled out accessible way in the wall, put a plug on it on one side, and a grill or deflector on the other. In the case of forced ventilation, there is a fan inside, connected according to the instructions attached to the device.

But if the furnace firebox is not in the steam room, but in the dressing room, you will have to make sure that fresh air from the street enters the furnace. For this, it is equipped ventilation duct, most likely made of galvanized steel, which runs under the finished floor and delivers fresh air directly to the oven door. The installation of this channel is carried out until the end of work with the floor. The pipe of the calculated diameter is inserted at one end into the hole in the wall, where it is fixed with polyurethane foam and is closed with a grate, and on the other hand it is led to the furnace and is supplied with an adjustable plug.

How to make ventilation in the steam room of the bath

The ventilation mode of the steam room differs from other rooms of the bath just as the steam room itself differs from them in its extremeness. In the Russian bath, while soaring, the ventilation is blocked for a while. But at the same time, it's extremely important. to saturate the steam room with oxygen, uniform heating, distribution of air flows.

More detailed information on this topic can be found in the articles and in general. In particular, Bastu ventilation can be called among the well-proven methods of ventilation of this room. But you can read about it in the articles mentioned.

Do-it-yourself ventilation in the steam room

Steam room ventilation schemes can also be found in. As for the stages self-assembly ducts, they are no different from those above, so now we will consider in detail the method of drilling holes in the walls of a log house or timber, as well as from blocks.

How to make a hole in the wall of a log house

1. Before you start you need to know place and size future hole, which is a little larger than the diameter of the pipe, because you still have to wrap the pipe with a heat insulator. After that, markup is done. (It is advisable to have both pipes and grates at hand at this moment so that the process can be controlled through them.)
2. A drill for wood, the length of which should be greater than the thickness of the wall with all the "pie", if any, a through hole is drilled in the center of the markup.
3. After that with outer side walls a circle of the desired diameter is drawn with a drilled hole in the center.
4. External and internal wall trim neatly sawn in a circle, freeing the log of the wall.
5. The same drill is made holes in the log around the circumference marked circle. And the closer they are to each other, the easier it is to remove the inner fragment later. Make sure the drill is perpendicular to the plane of the wall.
6. Chisel and chisel will help remove jumpers between drilled holes. Work should be done both inside and outside the bath.
7. Pulling out the middle part don't smooth the edges- it's too much.

And here on the video the same thing is done with a drill and crown:

How to make a hole in a block wall

Method for block wall exactly the same as described above, except that a concrete drill is taken (you can use a crown instead). By the way, the blocks are very soft, the main thing is not to collide with metal (reinforcing mesh, dowels, fastening fittings for openings). If this happens, you will need special pliers(hydraulic).

IMPORTANT! There is also a chance of colliding with metal when drilling a log house - there are dowels under the ceiling that hold the Mauerplate, so the pliers should be rented in advance.

As for air ducts, plugs and valves, all this is purchased in stores. The air duct is most often a galvanized pipe (round, square or rectangular in cross section), which must be thermally insulated (wrapped with insulation) and sealed with foam so that condensation does not form and the wall does not get wet.

Plugs and dampers are bought for the desired diameter. It is better to take wooden ones, because the plastic in the steam room will emit carcinogens that we do not need, and the metal will be burned in a heated steam room. As for the schemes, we have already given links to them.

Useful video

It shows how to do it with a drill square hole in the wall.

Well, that's all we could tell you about how to make ventilation in the bath. We can only wish you success in the implementation of your plans. Do-it-yourself ventilation in the bath is a difficult task, but feasible for many. We hope that you have planned everything well and to the end, and in the future you will not have to regret either the lost time or the money invested.

In contact with

In the process of arranging the bath Special attention need to pay attention to the organization of high-quality ventilation. Without proper air exchange, the steam room simply cannot be used normally. If desired, all installation work necessary systems can be done by hand. It is enough just to figure out the order of laying and connecting the main units and do everything in accordance with the instructions.

The ventilation in the bath is very importance. To avoid lengthy and not very interesting explanations, you can consider everything with a specific example.

The visitor to the bath stays in a room filled with a large amount of hot steam. The person inhales this vapor. We know that humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. In the absence of sufficient air exchange, after a while a person will simply burn out.

That is why the ventilation in the bath should be as efficient as possible and made in full accordance with the technology. There are several types of ventilation systems. Explore the features of each option and choose the method that best suits your case.

Ventilation systems are installed to solve two main tasks, namely:

• ensuring the supply of clean air to the bath;
• removal of exhaust air from the steam room.

Additionally, ventilation provides faster and better drying of the steam room. It is necessary to study the features of existing ventilation systems and understand the order of their installation in order to obtain the most efficient and high-quality air exchange.

It is important that when working ventilation system the characteristic for the bath was not violated temperature regime. Air exchange should be organized in such a way that there are no disturbances in the distribution of temperature flows in the bath. Cool air in the steam room can only be near the floor. And the higher the ceiling, the higher the air temperature should be.

Ventilation should not take away from the bath fresh air. A properly equipped system supplies fresh air to the room and removes the exhaust air. Errors in the installation of the system will lead to extremely adverse consequences for both the bath and its visitors.

The main types of ventilation systems

There are several types of air exchange systems suitable for use in a bath, namely:

Exhaust air is removed from the bath through a special ventilation box. Air exchange mounting technology requires that the duct be installed diagonally to air inlet through which fresh air enters the bath.

Take care of the ventilation device in all areas of the bath, and not just in the steam room. The dressing room, rest room and other rooms of the bath should also be well ventilated.

What you need to know about floor ventilation?

Quite often, the owners of the baths forget that the floor of the steam room must also be well ventilated. Such forgetfulness leads to a very rapid deterioration of the structural elements of the floor and, in general, a deterioration in the characteristics of the bath.

Floors are constantly in contact with water. Without properly organized air exchange, the floor will collapse very quickly, and the floor covering will have to be changed after 2-3 years.

You need to think about floor ventilation even at the stage of bath construction, because. in an already finished room, it will be much more difficult to create high-quality air exchange.

First stage. Make small vents in opposite walls of the basement. It is best to provide these vents at the construction stage. concrete base baths. Making any holes in already finished construction will lead to some reduction in the strength of the building.

Second phase. Make one ventilation hole in opposite walls of the serviced room. Through them, clean air will flow into the room. Holes must be through. Ready channels are recommended to be closed with special ventilation grilles. Such protection will not allow all sorts of rodents and other pests to enter the bath.

Third stage. When building a furnace, make sure that its blower is slightly below the level of the finished floor. Thanks to this placement, the oven will also start working in the hood mode.

Fourth stage. Lay floor boards. When laying them, you need to leave gaps about 7-10 mm wide. Through these cracks, water can flow down. If the liquid lingers on the floor every time, the boards will rot very quickly.

Quite often, floor ventilation is arranged “according to Bast”. According to this technology, fresh air comes from under the stove, and exhaust oxygen is removed through a hole under the ceiling.

As required fire safety near sauna stove must lie a metal sheet. It is near this sheet that a hole is created for feeding fresh air to the bath.

For the device of such air exchange, a special exhaust duct is required. You can buy a box ready-made or assemble it yourself from boards. Inner surface exhaust box must be covered with foil. The size of the box should be approximately 15-20% larger than the diameter of the chimney.

Ventilation "according to Bast" is the best option for those cases when the stove is located directly in the steam room. In such a situation, ventilation ducts can be equipped even directly in a brick podium.

Pay attention to the installation location of the sauna stove. If the stove is located directly in the steam room, then natural air exchange is present initially. You just don’t need to rely solely on it - such ventilation only works when the stove is running.

Most best option ventilation installation - arrangement of air exchange channels on opposite walls of the bath. They must be at different heights.

It is not recommended to place the ventilation holes too high. Although in most other cases it is recommended to make an exhaust hole directly under the ceiling, slightly different rules apply in baths. If you place the hood directly under the ceiling, hot air will leave the room very quickly.

For baths optimal height placement of ventilation holes is a level equal to 1-1.5 m.

Bath ventilation installation guide

There are several simple ways organization of effective air exchange in the bath. Study each of them and choose the best one for your steam room.

First way. Create an opening for fresh air. It should be behind the stove, about half a meter from the floor. Make a hole for exhaust air from the side opposite to the inlet, at a height of about 30 cm from the floor level. Install a fan in the outlet.

The lower you place the exhaust duct, the more intense the air exchange will be.

However, there is no need to be too zealous either. Try to make holes at the recommended height, as such values ​​are the most optimal. Openings are recommended to be closed with ventilation grilles.

The second way. With this air exchange, both ventilation holes will be on the same wall. Work will be carried out with a wall parallel to the stove. The inlet duct is created at a level of about 30 cm from the floor, the exhaust duct is at the same distance from the ceiling of the bath. The exhaust opening is equipped with a fan. Close open channels with ventilation grilles.

The third way. Do it for sauna stove air inlet hole. Position the intake duct about 20 cm from the floor surface. exhaust channel done at about the same height, but in the opposite wall. The exhaust opening is equipped with a fan. Close open channels with ventilation grilles.

Fourth way. This air exchange option is great for baths, the flooring of which is laid with slots to drain water. Make an inlet behind the stove unit at a distance of about 30 cm from the floor surface. An exhaust hole in the case of such ventilation is not made - the exhaust air will leave the bath through the cracks floor covering, and after that it is discharged to the street through a common ventilation pipe.

Fifth way. Such ventilation is ideal for baths with a constantly working furnace unit. Install the inlet channel opposite the stove, stepping back about 30 cm from the floor. The function of the hood will be performed by the oven.

Thus, the procedure for arranging ventilation is practically the same in all the considered methods. Each of them involves the creation of one or two holes, only the place and height of their placement change.

You can also make the holes yourself. brick walls are easily passed with a puncher, and log ones with any tool suitable for this, for example, with a wood drill. It is recommended to invest in finished holes plastic pipes. Don't forget protective ventilation grilles. In the future, you are unlikely to be happy uninvited guests in the form of rodents.

Successful work!

The correct implementation of the respective project improves performance characteristics object and provides high level safety and comfort. Properly designed ventilation will help extend the life of the building. After reading this article, you will find out if ventilation is needed in the bath, you can create necessary design with my own hands. Here you will find information about materials and individual components, installation and construction technologies. Professional Recommendations help eliminate errors and reduce costs.

High-quality ventilation is one of the most important components of a good bath.

To accurately determine the parameters of the project, it is necessary to refine it special purpose. Creating for a bath allows you to solve the following practical problems:

• supply of fresh air;
• combustion products, carbon dioxide, and other harmful substances are removed;
• destructive processes of decay and corrosion are prevented.

Of course, the operation of this system should not worsen other consumer characteristics of the building. For example, if the intake of cold air is excessive, the cost of maintaining a high temperature will increase.

This list of actions will help you figure out how to make ventilation in such a way that you do not miss important points:

• Determine the air flow path (through ducts and inside the room).
• Find out how to organize ventilation in different rooms buildings.
• It is necessary to take into account the combined effect of ventilation and heating, the characteristics of wall materials and other characteristics of the building.
• It is necessary to find out which nodes and finished goods useful for creating an efficient modern-day ventilation system.

How high-quality ventilation works in a bath: scheme and device, features of different rooms

For electrical wiring use an appropriate cable that provides reliable insulation even when immersed in liquid. The switch is installed in the rest room, or in another room with a normal level of humidity.

For ventilation in the bath sink, you can use a small window or a special channel. In any case, it is necessary to configure the system in such a way as to exclude drafts. You can combine the supply parts here and in the steam room to increase the air temperature and provide ventilation for wooden flooring.

Ventilation design in the dressing room

In this room, the organization of fresh air access does not differ from a similar system in an ordinary living room. The use of natural and forced ventilation is available in various combinations. It must be remembered that hypothermia provokes the occurrence of colds and other diseases.

Note! log houses have special abilities. They create comfort temperature conditions in rooms without special technical means due to the natural micro-ventilation of the walls. For intensive ventilation, you can open doors, windows.

How to properly ventilate the bath: differences between buildings made of different materials

This section explores in detail architectural features buildings. Proper ventilation in the bath should not negative impact to structural parts. Moreover, she creates favorable conditions to extend service life without overhaul. In order not to make a mistake and not to take unnecessary actions, an appropriate system must be created at the design stage. Example with concrete foundation explains the convenience of mounting holes using embedded parts. Their drilling in a frozen block will be accompanied by significant difficulties.

frame structure

The gaps between the frame elements are filled mineral wool. It is covered with a polymer film to prevent moisture from entering. Outside - install lining, with painting, other finishing coatings.

Such a structure can be created quickly, with minimal cost. A light structure does not need a strong foundation. The multilayer construction of the walls has low thermal conductivity, which reduces operating costs. In order not to violate their tightness, ventilation channels in frame bath set in advance, together with the installation of structural structural elements.

Note! If you use polyurethane foam boards, the cost of the project will increase slightly. But in this case no special precautions are needed. Insulating properties these materials do not deteriorate in high humidity conditions.

The nuances that are taken into account when equipping a log house

For the correct determination of ventilation parameters in wooden bath the following features must be taken into account:

• Buildings made from these materials natural ventilation. But its performance is not enough for a bath.
• supply and exhaust system created so as to ensure rapid removal of moisture after the completion of a session of wellness treatments.
• If forced ventilation is selected, the wiring will be carried out taking into account the proximity of combustible materials. It is necessary to follow the rules of specialized standards exactly.
• Treatment with anti-rotting agents and others chemicals carried out carefully to prevent their entry into the atmosphere of the premises. It is advisable not to use potentially hazardous substances to create decorative and protective coatings in the washing room and steam room.

Note! Such buildings are built on strip foundation. The base of the floor is made of concrete. In these elements, holes are created at the stage of pouring the solution.

Correct installation of ventilation in a brick house

Structures made of these materials are highly resistant to various types of external influences. They are able to withstand heavy loads without damage. They are not destroyed by changes in temperature and humidity, harmful insects and microorganisms. In the absence of flammability, special measures are not needed when installing power lines.

In order not to use such heavy operations, the necessary passes are made during the masonry process. For the exact performance of work, marks are made in the design documentation. At the stage of project preparation, the parameters and installation lines of electrical networks are determined.

The use of bastu for a bath: scheme, operation

This technology has been used in Sweden for hundreds of years. It provides efficient ventilation of rooms without electric drives. An added advantage is economical consumption of thermal energy.

The figure shows a system for two rooms. In the steam room, air is supplied to the space under the furnace. With the help of a special casing, the basic principle of the technology is implemented: “inverted glass”. The heated air stream under pressure enters the rooms. Output paths - as in the standard version, through the box, with a fence from the lower parts of the rooms. The use of bastu ventilation in a Russian bath will allow you to quickly dry the floors. Pay attention to the separate inflow installed in the rest room. With the help of a metered supply of cold / warm air, you can maintain comfortable temperature conditions at any time of the year.

Ventilation device in the bath: selection and proper use of the main components of the structure

Before proceeding to study individual elements, it should be noted the principles of operation of ventilation of different types:

When choosing forced ventilation, it is necessary to correctly use the appropriate electrically driven technology.

Window in the bath: where to place, what requirements apply to materials

When choosing suitable products take into account climatic conditions in the region. For northern regions install triple-glazed windows with good insulating characteristics. If purchased plastic frames, you need to check the number of cameras.

To avoid fogging, you can use the data from the following table. The values ​​in it correspond to the outdoor temperature at which inside drops of moisture condense on the glass:

Room temperature, °C	Humidity, %
	20	30	40	60	80	100
0	-20	-15	-12	-6,9	-3,1	0
5	-15,8	-11	-7,5	-2,2	1,8	4,8
10	-11,8	-6,8	-2,8	2,7	6,8	10,1
15	-7,6	-2,5	-1,4	7,4	11,7	15,8
20	-3,7	1,8	5,9	11,8	16,3	20,1
25	-0,4	6,1	10,4	16,6	21,2	24,8

When choosing an installation location, enter the dimensions of the block in the opening with the following gaps:

• bottom: 40 to 60 mm;
• top: 15 to 25 mm;
• on the sides: from 15 to 25 mm.

It is necessary to take into account a significant change in the size of the opening in wooden building. To prevent damage to the frame, special damping elements are installed. AT brick buildings no such precautions are needed. The doors must be free to open. If necessary, other curtains are installed from the inside.

Note! In order to avoid damage by high temperature and to prevent deterioration of the composition of the atmosphere, windows are not installed in the steam room.

Suitable fan parameters

The forced system is installed with a large area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe premises. It will be needed in a building made of brick, or other materials that do not allow air to pass through.

When choosing a fan for a bath, check the following parameters:

• To calculate the performance, multiply by 5. The margin (20-40%) is added taking into account the characteristics of a particular room.
• Cases and impellers of high-quality specialized equipment are made of polymers ( composite materials) resistant to high temperatures and ultraviolet.
• Rubber seals reduce noise and Negative influence vibrations on structural integrity.
• The shaft is fixed on durable ball bearings, which perform their functions fully without lubrication and other routine procedures.
• All electrical components are reliably protected from moisture.
• When equipped, it prevents the air from moving in the opposite direction when the appliance is turned off.

The video below explains the DIY fan installation process. This instruction can be used for the installation of equipment in the bath, bathroom, toilet.

Varieties of valves for ventilation ducts

Back ventilation valve for a bath does not pass cold air outside. Similar phenomena can occur, for example, when strong wind. The figure shows that the damper is moved by a counterweight. There are no electric drives and other complex components, which explains the relatively low cost.
