AIRCOL
Suitable for ventilation in small to medium-sized spaces such as:
Bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, pantries, laundry rooms, garages, workplaces, etc.
Specifically designed for use with pipes up to a maximum length of 1.5 meters, either directly or connected to an extractor.
AIRCOL 120 Toilet, WC, and Bathroom Fan
Four parameters must be considered when selecting a fan:
The required airflow for ventilation depends on the purpose of the space, the number of occupants, objects inside, and their activities. The table below shows the air change rates for different environments:
ENVIRONMENT | AIR CHANGE RATE |
Classrooms | 5-7 |
Libraries | 4-5 |
Home Kitchens | 15-25 |
Bathrooms | 5-7 |
Home Toilets | 4-5 |
Public Toilets | 8-15 |
Meeting Rooms | 6-8 |
Offices | 4-8 |
Changing Rooms | 6-8 |
The required airflow can also be determined based on the level of activity:
Required airflow is calculated as follows:
Q [m³/hour] = Air change rate (per hour) × Room volume (m³)
or
Q [m³/hour] = Number of people × Required airflow per person
After determining the required airflow, an appropriate duct design (considering noise and air velocity criteria) should be made, and pressure losses should be calculated. Based on the environment in which the fan will operate, the type of fan (axial, radial, roof, smoke extraction, etc.) should be selected, and the appropriate fan should be chosen based on the required airflow and static pressure.
In an office with five employees, a ceiling height of 2.6 meters, and a floor area of 50 m²:
Room volume:
2.6 × 50 = 130 m³
Using the air change rate for offices (4-8), assuming a rate of 5:
130 × 5 = 650 m³/h airflow needed
Considering normal activity level (non-smoking):
5 people × 29 m³ = 145 m³/h airflow needed for occupants
Total required airflow:
650 + 145 = 795 m³/h
The fan selection should be based on this airflow requirement.
After determining the airflow, the installation location should be decided—whether it will be mounted on the ceiling, wall, chimney, or ventilation duct.
Another consideration is the fan’s electrical power source:
