Mechanical Ventilation N: Ventilation Systems General Notes

This document discusses ventilation systems and provides details about ductwork. There are three types of artificial ventilation systems: 1) a plenum system which forces air in but relies on natural exhaust, 2) an extract system which relies on natural intake but uses mechanical exhaust, and 3) a plenum and extract system which uses mechanical systems for both intake and exhaust. This design uses a plenum and extract system with centrifugal fans, ductwork made of galvanized iron or aluminum sheets, and requirements for fan rooms, hangers, dampers, and joints.

VENTILATION SYSTEMS

GENERAL NOTES

THERE ARE THREE WAYS OF ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS.


1). PLENUM SYSTEM: IN THIS METHOD, AIR IS FORCED TO COME IN THROUGH A MECHANICAL FAN BUT THE EXIT IS NATURAL.
ITS DONE IN PLACES WITH HUGE VOLUMES SUCH AS BASEMENT, FACTORIES ETC

DUCT WORK:
- DUCT WORK MUST BE PERMANANT,
RIGID, NON BUCKLING AND NON
RATTLING.

2). EXTRACT SYSTEM: IN THIS METHOD, AIR ENTERS NATURALY, BUT IT IS TAKEN OUT BY MECHANICAL MEANS, SUCH AS
EXHAUST FANS.
3). PLENUM AND EXTRACT SYSTEM: IN THIS METHOD, MECHANICAL SYSTEM IS USED FOR BOTH PLENUM AND EXTRACT.
THIS IS TYPICALLY USED IN PARKING LOTS
COMMERCIAL KITCHENS, PETROCHEMICAL LABORATORIES AND WAREHOUSES.
FOR SUCH CASES, FAN ROOMS ARE REQUIRED.

- JOINTS IN DUCT WORK ARE AIR


TIGHT.

THE SYSTEM USED FOR THIS DESIGN OF BASEMENT IS PLENUM AND EXTRACT SYSTEM.

- GALVANISED IRON OR ALUMINIUM


SHEETS ARE USUALLY USED IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF DUCTS.
