Ventilation is an aspect that every homeowner must pay attention to and in case of an error; the consequences are dire and quite costly. Getting the right ventilation for your home can be such a daunting task especially when you are getting opinions from different people. When you have the basic vent plan, get the details on the volume of fresh air, the duct type, and the diameter.
With such details, you can go ahead and select the ventilation fans that suit you and which ensure optimal performance while taking care of the environment.
Following are some of the considerations in choosing ventilation fans
Performance
Before you think of any other things, your choice of the ventilation fans must meet the performance parameter. This is a combination of volume and pressure. Again, you need to confirm the efficiency of the fan, which is through the operating duty point. When the duty point approaches the stall point of the fan, any change to the system can lead to the collapse of the fan. When buying the fan, you need to compare as many models as possible and get one that is most efficient. It may be more costly than the rest but it would serve you perfectly.
Noise sensitivity
Sound exposure limits are ever increasing and noise has become a major consideration for when doing modern ventilation. This is more critical when working in an urban environment. You need to be concerned with your workforce and neighbors as well. To minimize noise, there are a couple of measures you need to take. Install one or two inline silencers to the system. It is one of the effective methods of minimizing the noise in the ventilation fans.
However, to achieve today’s strict requirements, adding silencers is not enough and thus many manufacturers offer fans with integrated silencers. Thus, there is no noise migrating through the fan’s casing. Having the silencers inbuilt, it is easier to handle the fan compared to the one with one or several silencers.
The choice of motor
Another very crucial aspect when purchasing ventilation fans is choosing one with an appropriate electric motor. If the application calls for explosion proof (XP) equipment, then the Commercial fans must meet the flammable dust regulations. There is a huge difference when it comes to ventilating underground excavations compared to an ordinary building. Thus, you must ensure that the vent system grows as the area to ventilate grows.
To achieve perfect ventilation in the target area, you need a reputable company that has been doing the job for years and with experience in the installation of fans in all areas, underground and in ordinary buildings. Most importantly, do not mind spending some extra amount to get the best quality and workmanship.
