Exhaust System
Natural air supply with mechanical air
exhaust
popular form of ventilation in residential and offices.
The mechanical air exhaust system creates an
under pressure in the building, the system is less
dependent on the weather. The under pressure
creates a pressure difference over the ventilation
openings encourage the air to suck in.
High wind pressure or temperature difference can
result in draught problems.
To prevent draught the air supply openings have to
be placed as high as possible and the air inlet grid
must have a possibility to be regulated.
Ventilation capacity (air out) controlled by an
exhaust ventilator.
In residential buildings suction takes place from at
least the kitchen, the bathroom and the toilet. (need
for suction ducts)
In non-residential buildings suction mostly takes
place from the corridor.
For locations where the sound load is high
sometimes baffle filters are used.
Exhaust System
Exhaust Fresh-up
Raising exhaust air decreases room pressure to prevent the
leaking of odors or floating bacteria into other rooms
A supply system slightly pressurizes the house by drawing outdoor air into the
house. This pressurization pushes indoor air out through small openings in the
building, which helps to prevent outside moisture and pollutants from getting in
through these passages. Positive indoor pressure also protects against back
drafting.
Supply rich mode: Raising the air supply maintains proper room
pressure to prevent back-flow to toilet or kitchen odours or moisture inflow.
FRESH-UP operation: Both the excessive supply mode and the excessive
exhaust mode are selectable. This function allows for a more comfortable
air environment whether the occupied space is required to be pressurized
or de-pressurized.
Improved comfort.
Improved health.
Improved resale

A typical fan
The centrifugal
type generally
supplies more
cfm per
horsepower at
static pressures
over 4.0-4.5
inches of water
and is often
used where low
noise level is
desired
The vane-axial type has a propeller and vanes, and is best for static pressures under 4.0-4.5 inches of water
