A negative air pressure monitoring system is a crucial addition within a permanently installed ventilation system and indispensable especially in interaction with a fireplace or tiled stove.
A fireplace generates negative pressure during operation, as it needs air for combustion. In a well-sealed room, this can lead to an unwanted and potentially dangerous negative pressure. This is where the negative air pressure monitoring system comes into play. This device constantly monitors the pressure in the room and ensures that it stays within safe limits.
When the fireplace is turned on and creates negative pressure, the negative air pressure monitoring system detects it. It activates the ventilation system to supply additional fresh air and compensate for the negative pressure. This ensures that there is enough air for combustion in the fireplace without creating a dangerous negative pressure in the room with an excessive amount of carbon monoxide.
Installing a negative air pressure monitoring system not only ensures the safety of people in the room, but also contributes to energy efficiency, as the ventilation system only works when it is really needed. The exact specifications and requirements may vary depending on the application, so it is advisable to consult ventilation professionals to ensure that the negative air pressure monitoring system is installed and configured correctly.
The negative air pressure monitoring system and the ventilation system can be purchased and installed together as a set, ensuring smooth coordination and communication between the two devices.
