Ventilation in the garage with his hands - instructions on how to make

Ventilation in the garage with his hands

garage - a great way to protect your car from bad weather and thieves.But the constant presence in the garage often becomes fatal to the "iron horse", and is harmful to health breathe gasoline vapors.Dirty musty air, higher humidity levels - all these "charms" of the closed premises will soon lead to corrosion if the garage is not equipped with a ventilation system.For this reason, many car owners are interested in whether to make their own hands can be ventilated?In this article we will try to open this question.

Started

Please note that the garage can be with a cellar or without .ensure ventilation technology in all cases are similar, but differences do exist.For garage and cellar can be three versions of the ventilation system.

1. Natural ventilation provides fresh air due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside.

Mechanical ventilation is a system of expensive equipment, which provides the inflow / exhaust air.

Combined ventilation system - is essentially the same as natural, that's just the exhaust air in this case is removed from the garage with special equipment.

Note!We consider only the combined natural ventilation, and for one simple reason: the installation of a mechanical system can afford not every car owner, because it will cost about $ 4000 (and this is only the minimum cost of the equipment).

SNiP

Requirements SNIP, desktop book any self-respecting architect or builder, indicated that fresh air into the garage should enter the amount of 180 l / h.It is understood that air will constantly circulate.These are the realities in Russia, in Western countries, regulations are more demanding - at least 360 l / h.

Materials,

tools to work, we may need the following:

• punch;
• sealant;
• Bulgarian;
• pipes, metal or plastic, Ø 10-20 cm;
• metal grille;
• fans.

Ventilation in the garage with a basement

Let's start with the cheaper option - natural ventilation.It is easy enough to be equipped, in addition, it is ideal for the garage, which has a cellar.

technology organization

natural ventilation Tier 1. To begin manufacture of ventilation calculation, based on the floor space of the garage.According to the requirements, 10 m² requires 15 cm diameter duct.Here is a small example.For example, the dimensions of our garage - 6 by 4 meters.It turns out that its area - 24 square meters.Then act according to the formula:

2,4 x 15 = 36 cm

result - the diameter of the ventilation channels must be 36 cm, but only if the garage is only one extractor and one supply channel.If two hoods, the resulting figure is to be divided in two.

Step 2 .We do the holes in the walls, which will later be inserted into the pipe for air supply.They need to be on a height of 10-15 cm from the floor.If the garage is brick or concrete, then use the punch.

4. The insert holes for air intake pipe

Step 3 .When the intake holes are complete, we do the hood.It will be located on the opposite wall from the ceiling.Tools use the same.The tube is inserted in this hole, it will be displayed above the roof.The more the length, the more intense will be the exchange of air in the room.In general, the pipe must extend at least 50 cm above the roof.

installed pipe

Step 4. sealant Fill the gaps between the wall and the pipe.Particular attention is paid to the choice of sealant - it should provide quality bond "mismatched" materials.

also need to be concerned about the air duct equipment protective grilles.This will protect your room from the garage entry of insects and rodents.In addition, over the exhaust pipe you can build a small dome that it did not fall precipitation.

Protective dome for pipe

This work is finished.As promised, the installation of natural ventilation - a procedure, the costs of which amount to about $ 50.

Note!This ventilation is effective only when the outside temperature is below 12 ° C.In the summer, it can lower than this level, which is why air exchange if they will occur, it is extremely sluggish.

combined ventilation Mount Technology Combined type of ventilation, as already mentioned, it resembles in many ways the natural.Its design includes a similar exhaust and intake ducts, the same pipes and holes (this is only the latter can be placed anywhere, not necessarily on the opposite wall).The air is removed by fans installed in the exhaust vents.With regards to the influx, he, as before, will happen naturally.

Fans bleed

Note!By installing combined ventilation, you make the right choice, because it will work effectively not only in winter but in summer.Fans at the same time will consume a small amount of energy, so pay extra for electricity is not necessary.

Buy only those fans that emit minimal noise during operation.

If you choose which of the two ventilation systems installed in the garage, it is best, of course, stay at the combined system.The costs of their creation are almost equal, the only difference is the cost of the fans.

Ventilation viewing hole

Inspection pit - a reliable companion for every car owner.It must be all the essentials - keys, tools, storage tanks, oil and fuel, lighting and ventilation.All this is necessary for convenient and efficient repairs.

Inspection pit

enough natural ventilation to a viewing hole.If it will work independently from the main system, the big pipe we do not need - enough for a 10 cm diameter.One of them set up in the bottom corner of the pit at a height of 10 cm from the floor, the second - in the opposite corner, but at 10 cm from the ceiling (it will extractor and a second end of the tube should output the air outside).Protect the appliance from falling debris, as described in the previous chapter.

last tip in conclusion: in the winter time viewing hole and best cellar close to the room did not get the moisture and third-party items.
