MECHANICAL VENTILATION - INTRODUCTION - DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - TYPES VENTILATION: Ventilating (the V in HVAC) is the process of "changing" or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality. Ventilation is used to remove unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide , introduce outside air to keep circulation, and to prevent stagnation of the interior air. Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. Good ventilation is essential for the comfort and safety of building occupants, also a standard legal minimum requirement. We need to be aware of the different types of ventilation systems for proper functioning of a building. These may be uniform throughout the building or differ for different areas (zones) of the building for example the kitchen and toilets. Types of ventilation Mechanical or forced ventilation: Through an air handling unit, air conditioners ,coolers or direct injection to a space by a ceiling fan, exhaust fan can enhance the ventilation air flow rate. Natural ventilation : Occurs when the air in a space is changed with outdoor air without the use of mechanical systems, such as a fan. Most often natural ventilation is assured through windows , also through temperature and pressure differences between spaces CHOICES BETWEEN NATURAL OR MECHANICAL VENTILATION
The choice between natural or mechanical ventilation will depend on several factors: Volume of air required Quality of air required Consistency of control required Separation from external or local environment Cost of system The ventilation flow rates that can be achieved by natural ventilation are limited. For high flow rates mechanical ventilation is needed. Natural ventilation systems is economical( cheaper to install) and easy to operate than mechanical systems. Natural ventilation systems in their simplest form have no maintenance requirements as there are no mechanical parts or associated energy costs. Natural ventilation provides little or no opportunity to treat the incoming air supply. If the air has to be cooled, heated or filtered mechanical ventilation will be necessary.
Natural ventilation i.e. Open windows or vents are not a good choice for ventilating a basement (or below ground structure). Allowing outside air into cooler below ground space causes problems with humidity and condensation. Consistency and full control of ventilation is not possible with natural ventilation systems. If a building is located in a noisy town centre it may not be possible to provide adequate natural ventilation without excessive sound transmission. NATURAL VENTILATION DESCRIPTION Natural ventilation, unlike fan-forced ventilation, uses the natural forces of wind and buoyancy . Ventilation of a building with outside air without the use of a fan or other mechanical system. It can be achieved with openable windows or trickle vents when the spaces to ventilate are small . In warm or humid months, in many climates, maintaining thermal comfort solely via natural ventilation may not be possible so conventional air conditioning systems are used as backups Natural ventilation system can be considered as a circuit, with equal consideration given to supply and exhaust. Openings between rooms such as transom windows, louvers, grills, or open plans are techniques to complete the airflow circuit through a building. Code requirements regarding smoke and fire transfer present challenges to the designer of a natural ventilation system. DESIGN FACTORS : Suitability of natural ventilation Most suited to: Buildings with a narrow plan or atria with floor plate width of 15 m or less Sites with minimal external air and noise pollution Open plan layouts Natural ventilation Not suited to: Buildings with a deep floor plan Buildings that require precise temp. & humidity control Buildings with individual offices or small spaces Locations with poor air quality BASIC ADVANTAGES : The benefits of natural ventilation include: Improved Indoor air quality Energy savings Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Occupant control Increased worker productivity TYPES OF NATURAL VENTILATION Natural Ventilation is mainly of three types : 1. Single-sided ventilation and Cross ventilation 2. Stack ventilation
SINGLE SIDED VENTILATION CROSS VENTILATION WIND-WARD VENTILATION Single-sided ventilation: This relies on two properties of the wind pressure distribution over a single room facade firstly the spatial distribution of pressure . This will cause air to flow between two openings at different pressure, even if they are both at a positive pressure. Secondly, fluctuations in wind speed due to turbulence, will create a pumping action, where small inflows will be followed by outflows, via a single opening.
Cross-ventilation single space: This is the classic case where a single banked room has openings on the windward and leeward side. With deep open plan layouts, the main limitation will be providing sufficient fresh air via the windward openings, to meet the demands of the whole floor (or rather its occupants), without causing disturbance to the occupants sitting close to the window. Related to this, is the fact that the air quality will diminish as it picks up pollutants (or heat) as it crosses the floor. For this reason, it is unlikely that cross-ventilation of this type is applicable to floor plans greater than 5 times the floor-ceiling height.
CROSS - VENTILATION Cross-ventilation with double (or more) banked rooms: This can be achieved by openings in the corridor partition, but is generally unsatisfactory since the ventilation of the leeward room, relies on the occupant of the windward room, and, according to the use type of the building, may also have acoustic and hygiene problems.
STACK VENTILATION Stack ventilation, can operate when no wind pressure is available. It can also operate in deep plan buildings where the distance from openings in the perimeter, and the presence of partitions, make wind-driven cross ventilation impractical. The stack normally provides extraction of the warm air. Equal consideration must be given to the provision of openings and flow routes for the supply of fresh air. The effectiveness of the stack effect, i.e. the volume of air that it drives, is dependent upon the height of the stack, the difference between the average temperature of the stack and the outside, and the effective area of the openings. PASSIVE STACK VENTILATION MECHANICAL VENTILATION Mechanical ventilation is usually accepted as being the use of ducted air distributed to and from centrally located fans with the addition of air filtration, heating, cooling, humidification or heat recovery. Such systems are usually only installed in commercial buildings but are sometimes essential for the operation of the building. Hospitals, for example, require areas to be sterile and this usually implies that there are no windows in these areas. The only recourse to achieve a suitable indoor air quality is for some form of mechanical ventilation system.
Windows in large offices located in the centres of cities cannot be opened for reasons of security, noise or the ingress of dust and dirt. In such cases mechanical ventilation will be necessary. In summer these buildings may be subject to overheating, especially if a large area of the faade is glazed. To maintain suitable indoor air temperatures the warm, stale air is extracted and replaced by external air that is cooled before being ducted to the offices. It is likely that this type of system will also include filters to extract incoming air pollutants. In this way not only is ventilation provided but the air is conditioned either by filtering unwanted pollutants or by cooling or in some cases by heating. These systems are known generically as Air Conditioning systems because they modify the incoming air supply.
DESIGN FACTORS
Design principles: 1. Exhaust close to pollutant generation 2. Effective local extracts 3. Supply to the breathing zone 4. Supply air to clean areas 5. More extract from dirty areas 6. Transfer air from clean to dirty areas AIR CONDITIONERS: An air conditioner is a major or home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to change the air temperature and humidity within an area. The cooling is typically done using a simple refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation is used, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings CEILING FANS : A ceiling fan is a mechanical fan, usually electrically powered, suspended from the ceiling of a room, that uses hub-mounted rotating paddles to circulate air. A ceiling fan rotates much more slowly than an electric desk fan; it cools people effectively by introducing slow movement into the otherwise still, hot air of a room, inducing evaporative cooling. Fans never actually cool air, unlike air- conditioning equipment, but use significantly less power (cooling air is thermodynamically expensive) VENTILATOR FAN f you have a hot room in an otherwise comfortable house, you can pump existing cool air into that hot room using a special fan installed in the wall or floor No extra cooling costs. The level-to-level ventilator fan (shown) moves existing cool air from one level (from the basement or a mini-split system, for example) to another level of the house through an adjustable sleeve installed through the floor/ceiling.P A ventilator fan can blow conditioned air up or down, depending on the position of the blower unit. There are also room-to-room ventilator fans to move the conditioned air WHOLE HOUSE FAN A powerful fan draws cooler early morning and evening air through open doors and windows and forces it up through the attic and out the roof vents. This sends hot air up and out, cooling your house and your attic. These fans are commonly mounted in an upstairs stairwell or hallway ceiling where there's at least 3 ft. of clearance above the fan. EXHAUST/ VENTILATION FANS : Kitchens and bathrooms typically have mechanical exhaust to control odors and sometimes humidity. Kitchens have additional problems to deal with such as smoke and grease (see kitchen ventilation). Factors in the design of such systems include the flow rate (which is a function of the fan speed and exhaust vent size) and noise level. If ducting for the fans traverse unheated space (e.g., an attic), the ducting should be insulated as well to prevent condensation on the ducting. Direct drive fans are available for many applications, and can reduce maintenance needs Local exhaust fans are often used in rooms with high moisture to provide source control when neededmost commonly kitchens and bathrooms, but laundries, utility rooms and lavatories may also have local exhaust fans. Local exhausts fans are not intended to dilute contaminants, but rather to remove them while they are still concentrated. As such, they are source control measure rather than ventilation in the normal sense THANK YOU
