Ventilation air volume is determined for each premise separately considering concentration of harmful substances. Alternatively, ventilation air volume cal culated be set according to the research results. If the nature and concentration of harmful substances is not possible to determine, air exchanged is calculated as following:
L = V prem * Ach [m3/h],
where V prem. – premise volume [m3];
Ach – minimum air exchange per hour, refer air exchange table.
How to determine a premise volume?
Use a simple formula:
length x width x height = volume of the premises in cubic meters
A x B x H = V [m3]
Example: a premise with 7 m length, 4 m width and 2.8 m height. To determine the air volume required for ventilation of this premises, calculate the room volume 7x4x2.8=78.4 m3. After that determine the required efficiency of the fan using the following tables of reco mm ended ventilation rate.
Calculation of air exchange according to number of inhabitants:
L=L1*NL [m3/hour]
where L1 – rated value for air volume per one person, m3/h*person;
NL – number of inhabitants in the premises
20-25 m3/h per one person at low physical activity
45 m3/h per one person at light physical activity
60 m3/h per one person at heavy physical activity
Calculation of air exchange with vapor emission:
L= D / ((dv-dn) * ρ) [m3/hour]
where D – moisture, g/hour;
dv – moisture content in the exhaust air, gram of water/kg of air;
dn – moisture content in the intake air, gram of water/kg of air;
ρ – air density, kg/m3 (at 20 °С = 1.205 kg/m3);
Calculation of air exchange to remove excessive heat:
L= Q / (ρ * Cp*(tv-tn)) [m3/hour]
Q – heat emission in the premises, kW;
tv – exhaust air temperature, °C;
tn – intake air temperature, °C;
ρ – air density [kg/m3] at 20°С = 1.205 kg/m3;
Cp – heat capacity of air [kJ/(kg.K)] at 20 °С; Cp=1.005 kJ/(kg.K)

Calculation of air exchange depending on maximum permissible concentration of aggressive substances in the air:
L= GCO2 / UPDK-UP [m3/hour]
GCO2 – CO2 release amount [l/hour],
UPDK – CO2 maximum permissible concentration, l/m3,
Up – gas content in the intake air, l/hour.
| CO2 permissible concentration norms, l/m3 | ||
