Everyone knows about the benefits of cabin filters. Their main task is to clean the air from dust, odors and, in some cases, from harmful bacteria. What if the basic filter of the car has expired, and it does not cope, but it’s a pity for a new one. Or you have a domestic car and, in principle, do not produce carbon elements of the air cleaning system for it. In this case, you need to work a little.
Therefore, we will tell you how to make a cabin filter with your own hands.
Paper option
To make it as easy as shelling pears. To do this, you need to buy a universal filter from a kitchen hood in a store and cut a piece out of it to the size of the old one. Then glue it into the frame from the previous one using a sealant or hot melt glue.
Of course, the paper filter of the cabin is far from the best and it only copes with dust, letting in extraneous odors into the cabin.

Domvent: question-answer
Ventilation valve "DOMVENT" in the online store ECOTECO
I use warm floors as heating. Is it possible to install your ventilation valves?
Alexei.
Unfortunately, we do not recommend installing Domvent ventilation valves not above the battery, because at temperatures below -50C, condensation may occur on the body, and a cold floor zone may form under the valve. Work on the design of a device for ventilation of apartments with warm floors is underway, but so far not on sale. In cottages where the first floor has underfloor heating, and on the second floor there are radiators, we install Domvent ventilation valves above the radiators of the second floor. And for the first, we can recommend you to put wall KIV or window Aereko.
Good day! When cold air from the street meets warm air in the room, condensation will fall out. Where will it drop? And won't a fur coat grow in the pipe of the supply valve, and then flow out onto the facade in the summer?
Boris.
As you have noticed, condensation falls out in the place where cold and humid warm air meet. In this device, this place is in the air above the battery, therefore, condensation does not form.
The second possible location: on the surface of the device. But condensation does not form there, because the unit is washed by a warm stream from the battery and is also insulated from the inside.
The third place for the formation of condensation: inside the tube - impossible, because You yourself noticed there is no second condition in it: warm, moist air.
Only cold dry air comes from the street. And since with properly functioning ventilation, air only goes inside, we have considered all the options with you.
In case of improper installation (for example, not over a battery), heating is turned off, etc. condensate may fall on the surface of the valve, which is eliminated by closing (or decreasing) the valve of the indoor unit.
Thanks for the question.
Do any of the window installers put your valves right away when replacing them?
Yes, they do. It is convenient, and there is a good additional income for window workers. Window companies installing our ventilation valves can be found on the Internet or advertised in the media.
And if my A4 sheet sticks to the ventilation grill even when the bathroom door is closed, do I need a valve on this door?
Adhesion of the sheet shows that there is traction in the ventilation duct, and the grilles in the doors are needed for sufficient air access from the apartment to the bathroom. If there is a sufficient total gap between the door and the box for air passage, then the valve can be omitted.
On your website it is written "Our masters, coming to the installation, first of all check the operation of the exhaust ducts and in case of poor performance, either immediately fix the problem, or, if it is not immediately possible, give recommendations on how to solve the problem." How to check the operation of the exhaust ducts yourself? How can you determine in advance whether a door valve will be needed, or if you can get by (and what will happen if you just do not close the door)?
Ventilation check:
Open the window and door in the bathroom, apply A4 sheet to the exhaust ventilation grill. If he "stuck", then everything is fine. If not, then:
We tear off a fine-mesh mesh from under the grate (which gets clogged in two weeks with dust and therefore does not let air through (and, in principle, is not needed), if there is a fan, then we buy a double grate (part of the grate, part of the space for the fan) so that the air passes through into the ventilation duct and with the fan off.
We call the management company (ZhEK, HOA, etc.), they must fix it for free.
Compared to an open door, the door valve is more comfortable (maintains silence); instead, you can put simple door grilles or a gap under the door of at least 1 cm.
If the door is not closed, then when you, for example, wash, all the moisture (all steam) will go into the apartment and increase the humidity in the entire apartment, which is not good for the home climate. Yes, and it will not be very comfortable for you to wash, and the children will sleep at this time.
If there are grilles at the bottom of the closed door, air from the apartment will enter the bathroom below and humid steam will be discharged into the ventilation grill at the top, but will not go into the apartment.
In the kitchen and toilet, the situation is similar for all points.
Is your system suitable for a private house or cottage?
Nina Alexandrovna, Vsevolozhsk.
Dear Nina Alexandrovna!
For a country house, our system is ideal, because any house has exhaust ventilation, as well as stoves and fireplaces, which also work to remove stuffy air. For a comfortable stay, only 7-10 Domvent ventilation valves are needed per cottage (they are easily installed in one day). They do not make noise, which is especially important in suburban living, and will delight you with the cost in comparison with complex systems.
Can a ventilation system be installed without drilling a hole in the wall?
Maria, St. Petersburg.
Dear Maria!
The Home ventilation system, like any other natural ventilation system, works according to the following principle: it starts up fresh outside air and removes the polluted inside air into the ventilation mines. Therefore, an inflow of fresh air from outside is necessary, i.e. opening to the street is required.
But don't let that scare you, because today, this operation for drilling a hole by an experienced craftsman takes 5-10 minutes (the entire installation of the Domvent ventilation valve will take about an hour) and, practically, without dust, this is permitted by law and does not pose any threat to the supporting structures.
Explain how to calculate how many DOMVENT valves are needed for adequate ventilation in the room?
Alexey, St. Petersburg.
Dear Alexey!
The DOMVENT ventilation valve is placed under each window of the living quarters (first in the rooms, then, if necessary, in the kitchen). Under normal operating conditions, one valve is enough for 15-17 m2 of a room. But if you have a lot of people or not very good natural draft (for example, the last floor), then you need to install two ventilation valves. Only then take into account the size and power of the battery. For a one-room apartment, we recommend at least 2 houses (or two in a room, or one in a room and one in a kitchen). If you are in doubt, send a description of your apartment and we will help you.
Please tell me which tool is needed for self-installation of the DOMVENT valve, and how is the installation carried out?
Sergey, Moscow.
Dear Sergey!
The installation process is straightforward.You can install the DomVent valve using a household perforator (SDS-Plus). You can see the step-by-step installation process and our recommendations here. If you are going to start a business or launch a new service for the installation of DOMVENT ventilation valves, then you will need to buy a larger perforator (SDS-Max) and a pair of 40mm diameter drills. Details here and here.
Hello, are you wondering if it is possible to purchase a valve from you, and do the installation yourself? And how, in this case, is it delivered?
Alexey, Rostov-on-Don.
Dear Alexey! Yes you can! You send us an application by mail omvent.com or by phone, indicating your address, full name, and contact phone number and delivery method, we issue an invoice, you pay, we send. There are two delivery methods:
express delivery with the arrival of a courier to the address indicated by you (1-4 days);
Russian post (2-3 weeks)
A description of self-installation can be found on the website in the Information section "We put the DOMVENT with our own hands".
Tell me, can the installation of such a valve cause drafts?
Albina, St. Petersburg.
Dear Albina! No, he can not! The fact is that the air volume of 13m3 / hour leaving the DOMVENT ventilation valve, unlike open transoms, heats up all on the battery and rises warm up and in no way can create a draft.
Can I install your Home Ventilation if I live on the 1st floor and is it not dangerous? Will not all exhaust gases from cars go to my apartment?
Valentina Ivanovna, St. Petersburg.
Dear Valentina Ivanovna! Quite the opposite, replacing open windows with the "Home Ventilation" system will make your apartment impenetrable for thieves.
And the DOMVENT ventilation valve will hold back poplar fluff, insects, part of the dust and constantly airing your apartment, will not allow harmful substances from furniture, building materials to accumulate in it and, which is very important for the first floor, will not allow odors and harmful substances rising from the basement to accumulate!
Hello, please tell me, will it turn out that, along with the air, midges and insects will get into my apartment?
Alena, St. Petersburg.
Dear Alena! A mosquito net is built into the construction of the noise absorber, which will protect you from insects and poplar fluff. By removing the cover once a year (for example, when washing windows) with one finger (even with wet hands), you can easily remove the muffler and shake it out or even wash it. It will take 1 minute of your time.
How long will it take to install one such window valve and how many window and door valves will need to be installed for a 3-room apartment (we have 4 windows and 4 doors, one for each room)?
Mikhail, Kolpino.
Dear Michael!
Installation of one valve takes about an hour, the old foundation takes a little longer. For a standard three-room apartment, it is necessary to install three DOMVENT valves in the living rooms (you can also put them in the kitchen as an additional one). DOORVENT door valves must be installed in plumbing doors (toilet, bathroom) so that moisture and odors are immediately discharged into the ventilation mine, and not into the apartment. And in all living rooms.
But if there are gaps under your doors (at least 1 cm), then the installation of the DVERVENT ventilation valves is not necessary. If the living conditions in your apartment differ from the standard ones (many people live, the kitchen is a place for gatherings and is tightly closed by a door, etc.), then it is better to consult with professionals or call us by phone.
Why drill a hole in the wall when you can just buy a window with a valve?
Vasily, St. Petersburg.
Dear Vasily!
We do not like to scold competitors, because they also do a wonderful job - they save people from problems with stuffiness. Therefore, we will talk about the merits of DOMVENT.
Firstly, the air entering through the DOMVENT valve immediately heats up and enters the room warm (and there are no drafts, even in severe frosts!).
Secondly, the DOMVENT damper does not reduce the window light opening, does not violate the window warranty, and protects against noise much better (you will be very quiet!).
Thirdly, with comparable technical characteristics, DOMVENT will be half the price.
Fourthly, DOMVENT can be delivered at any time (before renovation, after renovation, during or after window installation).
Fifth, any person and even a three-year-old child can handle the maintenance and cleaning of the DOMVENT ventilation valve!
Can your ventilation regulate the room temperature and keep it cooler when I need it?
Alexander, Shlisselburg.
Dear Alexander!
During the heating season, the HOME VENTILATION system will supply cold air to the heating radiator and you can regulate the room temperature by reducing the air flow with the damper. And if your battery has a heat regulator, then you can achieve the ideal climate in each room individually. In summer, you need an air conditioner to cool the fresh air. And the combination of Home Ventilation and Air Conditioning is ideal as they complement each other. DOMVENT delivers fresh, oxygenated air, and the air conditioner cools it, and does not drive cold CO2 around the room, as in the absence of ventilation.
Can you buy a valve in gold color or somehow hide this box? The curtains do not hide it - we have Roman blinds. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Olesya, St. Petersburg.
Dear Olesya!
Ventilation valve DOMVENT is made of window ABS plastic, which can be easily painted even from a simple spray can. You can do this yourself or we will help you if you choose the tone of paint you need. The DOORVENT door valve has 4 grille colors (gold, bronze, silver and white) and is matched to the color of the door handles. In the case of non-standard colors, We can choose the color you need or also paint.
Please answer the question, our neighbors were doing repairs at our house and blocked all the ventilation outlets for us, will your device help in this situation? There is simply nothing to breathe in the apartment! Thank you.
Ivan Nikolaevich, St. Petersburg.
Dear Ivan Nikolaevich!
In such a situation, you need to contact the management company (or housing cooperative) serving your house with a request to eliminate the poor work (or non-work) of the ventilation shafts. And housing cooperatives must find out the problem and fix it (not you and your neighbor, but they themselves). Otherwise, file a lawsuit against the housing cooperative. Without normally working exhaust ducts, the work of Home ventilation will be ineffective.
Our foremen, coming to the installation, first of all check the operation of the exhaust ducts and in case of poor performance, either immediately fix the problem, or, if it is not immediately possible, give recommendations on how to solve the problem.
Often there is a situation when the residents of the house installed a ventilation grill with a mosquito net (they are sold in a set), which in 2 months becomes densely clogged with dust and stops letting in air. Cleaning or removing this mesh usually solves this problem.
Is it necessary to install the valve just above the battery? I have 7 cm places there. Will it fit?
Sasha, St. Petersburg.
Dear Sasha!
Yes! Installation of the DOMVENT vent valve is required above the battery. In some cases, it is possible to install a supply pipe above the pipes (as in your case) with air supply to the battery. The second option is to slightly lower the battery. There are several more options for solving this moment. You need to watch the master on the spot.
How much does installation work cost?
Installation Ventilation valve "DOMVENT" - 1000 * rubles. for 1 valve (* with a wall thickness of more than 60 cm and a complex installation - 1300 rubles for 1 valve)
Installation in the door "DOORVENT" - 500 rubles. for 1 door
High-quality painting in any color according to the RAL catalog - 1500 rubles.
Departure of craftsmen within St. Petersburg - 500 rubles.
Departure of masters in the Leningrad region - 500 rubles. + 20 rubles / km. (behind the ring road)

There is a lot of information on the Internet about how to make it yourself, as well as how to extend the life of an existing one. What enterprising car owners do not do: they pull on women's non-capron stockings, stuff napkins and foam rubber into it, vacuum clean, etc.
None of the above can be done categorically, since the filter elements operate in a hot and humid environment, and also absorb fats. Therefore, it is not known how nylon or foam rubber will behave in this situation.
Carbon filter for the cabin of your car
In order to make a cabin filter with your own hands, you will need:
- Frame from the old.
- Metal mesh.
- A versatile carbon material.
- Sealant or hot glue, knife or other cutting agent.
- First you need to cut out the filter element from the old, then install a metal mesh in its place. She will then be a support for new material.
Homemade filter stage 1
You can buy such a mesh in the mainstream market or at a car dealer. It is most often used to decorate the air intake grille.
Any other material can be used instead of mesh, but it is very important that the final structure is rigid and durable.
- Then, from the universal material purchased in advance (by the way, it can be purchased in M.Video at a fairly low price, about 300 rubles), we cut out a piece identical to the old one.
Homemade filter stage 2 - We paste it in place of the previous one.
- The end result is this:
Homemade filter stage 3
The whole procedure will take no more than an hour.And in the future you will only have to replace the canvas, since you have already put the frame in the frame. You can reuse your remaining piece of charcoal to replace the material in the frame.
This example describes the case of replacing a filter cloth in a plastic frame, in some modern cars the frame is made of pressed cardboard or, in general, it is not there, in this case you will have to additionally add rigidity to the structure.
How to make ventilation with your own hands: ideas for implementing a system in houses and apartments (80 photo ideas)
Before making ventilation in an apartment with your own hands, you need to study a number of points related to the installation of ventilation systems. This will make life in the home more comfortable.
Varieties of ventilation systems
The classification of ventilation systems is based on various criteria:
- purpose;
- functions;
- way of moving air.
Ventilation systems are classified according to their purpose:
- method of air movement;
- type of air movement stimulator.
The types of ventilation systems are supply and exhaust. Depending on their functions, recirculating air is also distinguished, providing a flow of clean air and mixing a huge amount of exhaust air with it.
According to the method of air movement, systems are divided into:
In the first case, the air flow moves through a network of ventilation ducts with air ducts, and in the second it penetrates through doors and windows. Another difference in ventilation systems is the motive force acting on the air, therefore they are mechanical and natural.
Air movement occurs only after the fan is connected, which is typical for systems with mechanical air circulation. A photo of good ventilation in the house will allow you to choose the type of the most suitable system.
It is enough to stop your attention on the following options:
- natural ventilation;
- supply and exhaust or forced;
- mixed natural, providing forced draft.
All of these options have their own advantages and disadvantages. Natural ventilation is most suitable for small buildings. They are usually located in areas where the surrounding atmosphere is fairly clean. In this case, forced ventilation is not installed.
The minimum set of conditions that make it possible to determine the optimal type of system and make ventilation in the basement of a private house are the cleanliness of the air and the building material that was used for the construction.
In cottages, a supply and exhaust ventilation system is usually equipped, since they are located in an area with a polluted atmosphere. It must provide the room with an air flow in the required amount, as well as filter it.
To make ventilation in a private house, the following action plan must be followed:
- calculate the volume of the air exchange parameter by calculating the air volume corresponding to the standards;
- determine the cross-section of the duct;
- choose the type of ventilation system;
- draw up a plan-diagram of ventilation ducts;
- choose a place to install the equipment;
- determine the places where air intake and outlet will take place;
- arrange the system itself.
How to calculate the ventilation system?
The calculation methods may differ slightly from one another, therefore, in order to make ventilation in the garage or basement, you should choose the most suitable of them. It is necessary to calculate the parameters of the ventilation system based on indicators such as the area of the house and the volume of air in the room.
It will be necessary to take into account the presence of household appliances in the room, which can reduce the volume of clean air. All necessary calculations are made taking into account the needs of the premises where ventilation is required.
Calculations should be carried out using tables with diagrams, taking into account the current standards (SNiPs, SANPins, DBNs, GOSTs). The easiest calculation method is based on area-based air exchange. In accordance with the accepted standards, the air supply at 3 m3 / h should be carried out in full per 1 m2
The calculation of the indicator is carried out taking into account the number of residents. For example, if there are three of them, then with a total area of the house equal to 120 m2, air exchange per hour is defined as the product of 120 * 3 = 360 cubic meters / hour.
It is more difficult to calculate the air exchange rate by frequency. All calculations are made on the basis of several indicators, so the exact result can be determined by a specialist.
Calculations based on the ratio of the air exchange rate determine the number of times per hour that the air is completely replaced by a new flow.
The standards for rooms with different purposes may be different, therefore, a special instruction is used: how to make ventilation correctly, the result of the calculations of which is the sum of the previously obtained indicators. This allows you to get the total amount of air exchange.

Making a hole in the wall without special tools
Before the actual process of making a hole, a marking is carried out, designed to indicate its exact boundaries and allowing you to imagine how the ventilation valve in the wall will look.
It is carried out with a pencil or chalk. A round pattern is applied to the plane, completely coinciding in shape with the air duct, but 0.5-1.0 cm wider than it. This gap is necessary in order for the branch pipe to fit optimally into the resulting hole, without snagging or breaking during the laying process.
Hole punching can be done with any tool at hand, depending on the surface material. The easiest way to create it is to use a special wide diamond drill, which will quickly and easily make a hole of the required diameter in a concrete or brick wall.
In the absence of such special equipment, it can be done using an ordinary percussion drill. In this case, the procedure for doing it consists of the following stages:
- A drill is taken with a narrow drill, which is screwed into the concrete surface according to the markings. It is necessary to drill holes as deep as possible, and the distance between them should be 1-2 cm. In this case, it is better to take a drill with a small tip, designed just for working with bricks and concrete.
- Holes are drilled along the entire diameter of the marking. In this case, the longer the drill, the more it will go into the wall and make the channel deeper. The maximum drill diameter is considered to be 6-8 mm.
- A chisel is inserted between the holes, which is driven as deep as possible into the wall. Thus, all the holes are connected until a piece of concrete wall falls out.
- In the event that the hole did not work through, you must repeat the previous steps. The walls of the finished hole are once again passed with a chisel in order to further trim it and eliminate all irregularities.
This procedure is followed only when working with a drill. The presence of a hammer drill and a long drill makes it possible to significantly simplify the procedure for making a hole.
However, even without having special equipment, you can make it, although you will have to spend much more time on this.
