Ventilation of cellars and basement
Products that are in the cellar or basement, and the structural elements of the premises do not tolerate high humidity (Unless you purposefully do not plan to breed fungus and mold), So you need to adjust the humidity level inside the building.
You can do this in two ways:
- antiquated method: put in bags with salt cellar, sawdust, unslaked lime or coal, which will pull moisture.
- in a modern way: staging simple but effective ventilation system.
Come by the second!
We offer to organize a simple ventilation with two air ducts: supply and exhaust. The first thing that is important to do - to mark the room so that the two duct located at opposite ends of the room.
Trumpet supply duct to be opened at a height of 20 to 40 cm from floor level, and exhaust duct - at a height of 20 cm from the ceiling. To ensure good traction output pipe exhaust duct at least 1 meter above the roof ridge.
As for the inflow pipe, then inflate it is not so important, the main requirement - that the pipe was above the layer of snow in the winter.
What is the size you choose?
Here everything is simple:
- if the floor area greater than 10 sq - D = 150 mm;
- if the area is greater than 10 meters, - D = 200 mm.
How to deal with condensation?
Condensate collection pipes are installed under both the capacity of 5-10 liters, and the outside of the tube set cap - they're called "deflectors".
Do you want to enhance traction - set to chimney a turbine fan.
