Automation of ventilation systems is used to optimise the operation of such equipment in a home or industrial premises, to provide smoke protection and prevent fires. To advance your goals, you need to choose the right installation.

If automation of ventilation systems is planned in the room, then when choosing an installation, you need to focus on achieving values suitable for this type of room. Regulations provide for periodic checks of ventilation quality. If it is found that the values of the indicators are lower than they should be in theory, the installation needs to be improved (for example, automated) or repaired.

Conventionally, the parameters characterising the quality of ventilation include

• the amount of inflow or outflow of air mass per hour;
• the ratio of the area of the sash through which ventilation is carried out and the floor of the room;
• air exchange rate per hour.

These criteria are used in hospitals and other medical facilities, laboratories, catering establishments and other places where it is important to pay special attention to sanitation.

In industrial buildings, the measurement of the carbon dioxide content in the air and the study of its composition through gas and aerosol analysis are more often used.

The smart ventilation system (SVS) is self-sufficient, intelligent and efficient in the way it consumes energy. It reduces your utility bills, keeps the airflow and climate fresh and eliminates the need for manual control. It can instantly reprogramme your HVAC after taking real-time occupancy, air quality and outside temperature readings from its many sensors. Thinking about getting one for your building? Here are some reasons why this is a sound investment.

Technical Tools

The devices to which the ventilation automation of general exchange and other types, as well as air conditioning, is applied are very diverse. The scheme may include devices that control different types of sensors (temperature of incoming and outgoing flows, pressure, humidity, humidity, carbon dioxide content), control units, actuators, electric drives. The performance indicators of these devices, which are important to monitor for the effective operation of the installation, are displayed on the control panels and control panels.

It is possible to check the data automatically when moving away from the specified frames or manage it in sub-menus. Signals from the sensors are sent to the control cabinet, where they are subjected to analytical processing with the selection of a suitable algorithm for the air conditioning system.

Automation of supply and exhaust ventilation allows you to optimise the operation of the installation, monitor compliance with target indicators. At the same time, the involvement of a person in process control is minimised, which allows production workers or their institution to devote more time to other tasks. At the same time, when planning the connection of ventilation automation, it is important to correctly calculate, estimate and select devices compatible with each other, which will ensure the proper level of air supply with minimal wasteful costs. The disadvantages include the possibility of breakage of complex electronics.

The main sections of the automation of ventilation systems

The correct selection of installation components is of great importance in the operation and automation of ventilation systems. It is determined according to the purpose of the design configuration.

Automation system for modular ventilation systems

Modular Ventilation Systems

Modular units are assembled from separate components: noise silencers, air ducts, air heaters, etc. They are simple and reliable. The ventilation control unit must maintain a predetermined indoor temperature, protect the air heater from freezing, control the fan torsion speed. It consists of the following components:

Sensors measuring various indicators: temperature, humidity, etc. They are selected depending on the conditions of use of the installation and how accurate the measurements should be.

• Arrangement of devices that control actuators based on sensor data.
• Control instruments.
• Equipment for data input.
• Execution mechanisms.

The electronic control unit and part of the executive components are usually combined inside the automation panel.

Automatic operation of the ventilation system allows you to save resources due to various factors. This includes precise adjustment of technology modes, subordination of the work schedule. Also in winter, in parallel with minimising heat consumption, the operation of the heat exchanger (which prevents it from freezing) is maintained. This allows you to optimise operation in the cold season.
