Sissepuhkeõhk

Sissepuhkeõhk refers to the air that is supplied to a building's interior through a mechanical ventilation system. This air is typically drawn from outside, filtered, and then introduced into the living or working spaces to replace stale or contaminated indoor air. The primary purpose of supplying sissepuhkeõhk is to maintain acceptable indoor air quality by providing a fresh air supply, which is crucial for occupant health and comfort.

The temperature and humidity of the sissepuhkeõhk are often controlled by the ventilation system to ensure a pleasant indoor environment. In colder climates, this air is preheated before entering the building to prevent drafts and maintain comfortable temperatures. Similarly, in warmer or humid conditions, the air might be cooled or dehumidified. Filtration is a key component, as it removes particulate matter, allergens, and other pollutants from the incoming air, preventing them from entering the indoor environment.

Sissepuhkeõhk is an integral part of both supply and exhaust ventilation systems, as well as more advanced heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems. In HRV and ERV systems, the outgoing exhaust air is used to pre-condition the incoming sissepuhkeõhk, thereby saving energy. The quality and consistent supply of sissepuhkeõhk are essential for a healthy and productive indoor atmosphere, contributing to the overall performance of a building's environmental control.
