Sauna Heater Manual
10.8. Insulation
The door, ceiling and walls of sauna room must be insulated. For every square meter of wall panel
that is not insulated the size of cabin should decrease by 1.3 cubic meters in relation to the model
of heater. Refer to table 1.
It is recommended to use a vapour barrier between timber panel and heating insulation.
Moisture and thermal proofing should be installed from outside to inside, such as:
i. Recommend that the MIN thickness of the thermal insulation in the walls in 50mm and in the
ceiling.
ii. Aluminum foil laminate is affixed over the heating insulation as a moisture-proof.
iii. Leave at least 25mm air gap around the outside of the sauna cabin
iv. Leave a 25mm gap between wall panel and ceiling to prevent gathering vapor.
10.9. Air ventilation of sauna room
• Mix the cold air with hot air to relieve mugginess when bathing.
• Draw the fresh air around the heater to ventilate the sauna room.
• Move the warm air to the farthest part of sauna room using air vent at high level in the
opposing corner to the heater
•
The inlet vent may be installed on the wall below the heater. (fig 15a).when using mechanical
ventilation ,inlet vent is placed 50cm above the heater (fig 15b) or on the ceiling above the heater
(fig 15c).the heavy cold air that blown into sauna room is mixed with the light not air from the
heater ,bringing fresh air for bathers. The recommended inlet should have a diameter of 5—10cm.
The outlet vent should be placed diagonally opposite to the inlet. It is advised the outlet vent is
placed under the platform in sauna room as far as possible from the inlet vent. It can be installed
near the floor, or lead outside through a pipe from the floor going to a vent to the sauna ceiling,
or under the door (to the wash room). In this case, the sill slot must be at least 5cm and it is
recommended there is mechanical ventilation in washroom the size of the outlet should be twice
of the inlet.
