    This document provides an example of designing a ventilation system for the toilets in an auditorium. It calculates the required ventilation rates and duct sizes for separately ventilating the male and female toilets to prevent cross-contamination. For the male toilet, it determines the room volume is 36.45 cubic meters, requiring a ventilation rate of 291.6 cubic meters per hour. Based on this, it sizes the main duct as 150mm x 150mm. Flexible ducts of 125mm diameter are also specified to connect to the main ductwork. The same approach is applied to size the ventilation system for the female toilet.

    Toilet Ventilation Example


    Design a ventilation system for the toilets in an Auditoria as shown in the accompanying drawings.
    The Male Toilet and Female Toilet should each have separate extract ventilation systems to avoid cross-talk and spread of smoke
    within the ductwork system.
    The mechanical ventilation rate from Table 3.1 CIBSE Guide B2 (2001) is at least 3 air changes per hour.
    For the purposes of this exercise use a value of 8 AC/h.

    Page 2 of 3

    MALE TOILET
    4.5 x 3.0 x 2.7 m = 36.45 m3

    The volume of the Male Toilet is:


    The ventilation rate in m3/h is:
    Ventilation Rate (m3/h)

    Room volume (m3) x air change rate (ac/h)

    Ventilation Rate (m3/h )

    36.45 m3

    291.6 m3/h.

    The ventilation rate is

    Divide by 3600

    = 0.081 m3/s.

    A simple method of duct sizing would be:

    Duct area = volume flow rate / air velocity.

    An appropriate maximum air velocity for a toilet is 4 m/s.


    Therefore duct area

    8 AC/h

    0.081 / 4 =

    If a square duct is used then the duct size is:

    (See Ventilation - Ventilation Design section)

    0.02025 m2.
    ( 0.02025 )0.5

    0.142 m x 0.142 m

    The nearest standard size is 0.150 m x 0.150 m


    or, 150mm x 150mm.
    The drawing below shows the ductwork layout for the Toilets.

    The flexible ductwork may be sized using the same technique as above.
    Volume flow rate through each flexible
    =
    0.081 m3/s / 2
    =

    0.041 m3/s.

    A simple method of duct sizing would be: Duct area = volume flow rate / air velocity.
    An appropriate air velocity for a flexible in this situation is 4 m/s
    Therefore duct area
    Cross sectional area

    =
    =

    0.041 / 4 =
    . d2 / 4

    0.01025 m2.
    d
    =
    ( 4 . CSA / )0.5

    Therefore flexible diameter

    ( 4 x 0.01025 / )0.5

    0.114 m

    114 mm diameter.

    The nearest standard size of PVC flexible is 125mm.


    The flexible size should be smaller than the duct to which it is attached to enable a boot or branch to be spot welded into position,
    as shown below.

    The Female Toilet may be sized using the same method but since the physical dimensions are so close to the Male Toilet then the
    same duct sizes can be used, this also standardizes the complete ventilation system so that the two fans are also identical.
    Fans
    To choose suitable fans for this example the duct pressure drop and fittings pressure drop would be calculated.
    If the total pressure drop is assumed to be 200 Pa and the flow rate is 0.081 m3/s (81 litres/s) then a suitable catalogue can be used
    to pick the fan.
    See http://www.flaktwoods.com. Go to Other Fans section.
    A tube fan or boxed fan can be used for this project.
