In case of a sauna room with mechanical ventilation, there should be:
1. Supply air pipe in the middle of the heater or higher (≥400 mm).
2. Exhaust air pipe in the opposite side of the heater (≤600 mm from the floor).
3. Drying pipe opening in the opposite wall of the heater under the ceiling.
In case of a gravity based ventilation sauna room, there should be:
1. Supply air pipe in the middle of the heater or higher (≥400 mm).
2. Exhaust air pipe in the opposite wall at least 200 mm higher than the supply air
pipe (≤600 mm from the floor).
3. Drying pipe opening in the opposite wall of the heater under the ceiling.
The supply air pipe should be fitted with an adjustable valve.
If the exhaust air pipe is located in the washroom, there should be a gap of at least
100mm under the door of the sauna room.
Use the drying pipe opening as a final ventilation after a sauna session or in between
water ladling sessions if there have been a lot of people in the room at once and there
is excessive humidity or lack of air. Keep the drying pipe opening closed while having
sauna.
