Air Ventilator: A Necessity in Living Spaces

Air ventilators are mechanical equipments that are used to circulate fresh air in a space to replace stale air, thus helping to bring down the level of humidity and foul smell. Widely used in various places such as homes, offices, clubs, hotels, auditoriums and many more, air ventilators are a basic necessity nowadays in every place where some sort of congregation of people takes place. Furthermore, by reducing heat levels, these also lessen the requirement of air conditioners, as a result bringing down the power bills considerably.

Air ventilators generally use fans to circulate air into a building. This may be achieved by either pressurization or depressuration mechanism. Some air ventilation systems use a combination of both to achieve their objective. Air ventilators are easy to install, durable and require minimal maintenance. Client's can choose from a wide assortment of ventilators in diverse specifications to suit their requirements.

Types of Air Ventilation Systems

Exhaust ventilation systems – These perform their work by depressurizing the building, i.e- by reducing the air pressure inside than outside the building

Supply ventilation systems – Contrary to exhaust ventilation systems, these work by pressurizing the building. These usually work best in hot or mixed climates

Balanced ventilation systems –  These neither pressurize nor depressurize the buildings, instead these induct and exhaust almost equal quantities of outside fresh air and polluted inside air respectively

Energy recovery systems – These are the best type of air ventilation systems; their only downside is that these are expensive to install and difficult to maintain with thorough regular cleaning required.

Features of Air Ventilators

These help prolong the functional life of insulation, roofing materials and rafters

The ventilators lessen winter moisture damage to buildings

If selected correctly, air ventilators can withstand extremely adverse weather conditions

Nowadays air ventilators are low on noise and offer uninterrupted performance

Need for Air Ventilators

Optimal ventilation is required in almost all buildings today because of the buildings susceptibility to condensation and heat transfer. Air ventilators suffices this need, these create a positive draft removing hot gases, odor and harmful fumes.
