In fall quarter of 2006, an air exchanger was designed for residential
garages. Due to short of proper ventilation, residential garages harbor many
hazards to the public's health and safety. The air exchanger that we designed
reduces the hazards, which include hazardously high temperatures within the
garage, enclosed space of harmful toxins, and lack of security to unnecessary
guests, such as animals or burglars.
In the introductory design report dated December 12, 2006, the objectives of
this project are to solve the problem of poor ventilation in many residential
garages. The goals were:1) Increase air exchange between the interior of the garage and its outer surroundings.
2) Create a product that is easy to install and maintain for consumers.
3) Create a product that is safe for consumers and their households.
Using these objectives, the final design was
establish. The air exchanger consists of two fans driven by one motor. One fan
is in the inlet duct. This allows a fresh stream of air to enter the garage
continuously. Increasing the air exchange rate, the second fan will be in the
outlet duct. This will allow the air within the garage to drive out to the
outer environment. The complete design will be incased and will have special
features such as ac compatibility, adjustable mounting brackets, and a safety
sensor.
