Installation method and matters needing attention in sauna room
Sauna installation must pay attention to two aspects, on the one hand, sauna insulation, on the other hand, sauna ventilation.
Sauna room insulation
Disinfection pool should be equipped with sauna room walls, ceilings and doors, and should be properly insulated. When calculating the power demand of electric heater, the uninsulated details per square meter will increase by about 1.2 cubic meter.
Proper moisture-proof treatment should be carried out, and the policy is to prevent humid gas from entering the wall of another room. The moisture-proof device should be installed between the heating insulation layer and the slats.
The heat insulation and moisture-proof installation of swimming pool cleaning sauna room should be installed from outside to inside according to the following specifications.
1, wall insulation layer thickness should not be less than 50mm, ceiling thickness should not be less than100 mm.
2. The best material is a carton or aluminum foil as a vapor barrier, which is installed on the insulating aluminum foil.
3. Leave an air gap of at least 20 mm between the steam barrier and the external slats.
4. In order to make the batten back moist, a groove should be reserved between the batten and the ceiling. In order to achieve the effect of relaxing sauna, sauna room should mix hot air and cold air in an appropriate proportion. Another reason for the wind is to receive the air around the electric heater and transfer the heat to the far end of the room. The center of the air outlet is arranged in proportion to the center of the house.
The installation air inlet of sauna room should be directly set on the wall below the electric heater. During forced crosswind operation, the air inlet should be set 60cm above the electric heater or on the ceiling above the electric heater. After passing through these vents, the heavier cold air enters the sauna room and mixes with the lighter hot air sprayed by the electric heater, so that the bather can breathe a lot of strange air. It is suggested that the size of the air inlet is 5- 10cm, and the air outlet should be set in the diagonal center of the air inlet face to face.
It is advocated to set an exhaust port under the platform installed in the sauna room, not to mention that even if the exhaust port is far away. The exhaust port is arranged around the floor, or the exhaust pipe extends from the floor to the air outlet under the ceiling or door of the sauna room. In this environment, the chute should reach at least 5cm, and the forced air should be excluded from the washing room. The size of the exhaust port should be twice that of the air inlet.
Sauna room is made of high-temperature treated white pine, which is insulated with thermal insulation cotton. Details can be selected according to product specifications. Sauna rooms can also be managed in different specifications according to the number of people, and there are many specifications.
Saunas are divided into dry steaming and wet steaming. It is a kind of "passive exercise", mainly through the contact between steam and skin to expand pores and discharge toxins and pore secretions, thus promoting blood circulation and metabolism and achieving the purpose of fitness and beauty.
"Sauna" is Finnish, which means "a cabin without windows". I'm afraid this name has something to do with the origin of sauna. At first, there were no windows or even chimneys in the hut, and the smoke blackened the room. Therefore, the sauna at that time was called "smoke sauna". Later, some innovative people installed chimneys, and the sauna took on a new look. However, there are still "smoke saunas" in some places in Finland, but it takes a lot of money and time to enjoy them once, because it takes seven or eight hours to achieve real results.
In fact, the early sauna was not entirely a place for bathing, heating and entertainment, but also had other important functions, such as baking flax, bacon, barbecue and preparing malt for brewing. Sauna was even the place where Finnish women gave birth at that time, because people thought it was the cleanest place, and steam could alleviate the pain of childbirth.
Finns can't live without saunas from birth. Finland has a total population of 5 million, but there are no less than 6,543,800 sauna facilities all over the country, which means that there is one sauna room for every three people on average. It may be hard to imagine for people who have never been to Finland. You won't really understand the sentence "There is a sauna where people are very active" until you get to Finland.
After the appearance of classical sauna in ancient Rome, the neighboring Nordic people did not sweat all the year round because of the cold climate, so in order to try to sweat, they accepted a sweaty sauna, and on this basis, they constantly improved sauna equipment and bathing methods, especially with the development of science and technology, the Nordic people applied advanced technology to sauna equipment, thus making the sauna reach the modern level. Sauna can be divided into dry type and wet type from bathroom environment and sweating mode.
Sauna was first introduced to China from northern Europe. Dry sauna spread from Finland to China, so it is called Finnish bath, and wet sauna spread from Turkey to China, so it is also called Turkish bath. There is also a saying that Finnish saunas are rooted in China. This news was disclosed by China Daily in August 1996. According to this signed article, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period in China, Zhao ordered thousands of red-hot iron blocks to be put into the pool to generate a lot of steam, and then led his wives and concubines to play in the steam pool. The article also said that before Kublai Khan proclaimed himself emperor, he fainted on the battlefield because of overwork in a battle. His men burned a big stone red, then poured water on it and carried the steaming stone to Kublai Khan. It is said that this can promote blood circulation. Later, he had a deep sleep and got on the horse again the next day.
Bathing in Finland is the basic life content of Finns. Almost every family and unit in Finland has a bathroom. One of the best ways is to have family reunion on weekends, get together with friends at ordinary times and take a bath in Finland. It is advisable to control the temperature of steam bath at about 80℃, or after heating, you can alternate between hot and cold, and the fatigue of running around suddenly disappears, making you feel comfortable. In Finland, sauna is not a luxury, let alone a symbol of property or status. First of all, there are few family houses without saunas. No matter whether it is a single-family private house or a rented apartment, no one will live without sauna equipment. Even if you don't have your own private sauna, you must have a public sauna; Without a complete sauna facility, there must be a simple small sauna room.
There is a small hotel in the terminal building of Helsinki Airport in Finland, which is very popular with transit passengers. Many people just want to use the waiting time to enjoy the sauna. After the Finns took a bath in Finland, their relatives and friends immediately drank cold beer and ate grilled sausages, and talked about everything. On the way to travel, we can spend our leisure time in the exchange of ideas and enjoy the infinite fun of life.
The benefits of taking a sauna
Sauna bath is a special way of bathing, which has two functions of cleaning skin and treating diseases. Alternating hot and cold several times in a row can relieve pain and relax joints. For the skin, blood circulation is improved due to obvious vasodilation and sweating during steam bath. Sweat excretion is helpful to the elimination of waste in the body, so that various tissues in the skin can get more nutrition, and it has different degrees of therapeutic effects on ichthyosis, silver dandruff pain, skin itching and other skin diseases. Sauna can cause a series of systemic physiological changes. High temperature and high humidity make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise to a certain extent, while soaking in cold water will slow down the heart beat and lower blood pressure. Therefore, indoor temperature, humidity and bathing time, including the number of cold and hot exchanges, must be strictly controlled. When taking a shower for the first time, you can only stay in the high-temperature steam room for 5 minutes, and then gradually extend the stay time in the high-humidity steam room. Because the sauna has a certain impact on the human body, the following conditions are not suitable for sauna:
1, patients with previous hypertension and heart disease history. Because sauna makes blood pressure fluctuate in a wide range, it increases the heart load, which is easy to cause high blood pressure, heart attack, accidents and even life-threatening.
2. After a meal, especially within half an hour after a full meal. Taking a sauna immediately after a meal will dilate the blood vessels of the skin, and a large amount of blood will flow back to the skin, which will affect the blood supply of digestive organs, which will inevitably affect the digestion and absorption of food and be harmful to health.
3. When you are overworked or hungry. When people are tired and hungry, their muscle tension is poor, and their tolerance to cold and hot stimuli is reduced, which is easy to cause collapse.
4, menstrual women had better avoid sauna. Menstrual women's physical resistance is reduced. When taking a sauna, cold and heat alternate many times, which is easy to cause colds and bacterial infections and endanger women's health.
