Air Quality During The SHTF ...

@SKrueger

heres an example of what NOT changing your air filter can do. literally just took this picture less than 1 min ago for this thread

heres an example of what not keeping up on routine maintenance can lead to...

pre detonation.

Well I guess I am going to blow my air filter out more often!

u wouldnt believe the negligence i see. if people were this negligent with guns we would all be dead

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

another idea would be (depending on the airfilter) is to run an airfilter sock on it till this ash goes away.

when in doubt, wrap it up

Same mantality that sheeple have for our government. It's no big deal I know a good mechanic can save me

My old daily driver school bus even had a air restriction gage showing when the air cleaner needed servicing. But then it also had a fuel pressure gage, a boost gage and a pyrometer. But ... we took proper maintenance seriously back then.

Great pictures and thank you. Makes one wonder what happens to our air induction and related pieces when out and about during heavy smoke or ash conditions. Do our physical human body pieces self heal? Hopefully they do ... completely?

take a look at your cars cabin air filter (if it has one) thats what we're breathing.

just had one today the quick service guys changed soaked in rat piss and sh!t

How do you know if your cabin has a air filter?

what kind of car is it?

 

[11Charlie]

what kind of car is it?

2007 Dodge Ram diesel

 

[11Charlie]

From my web search they don't have a in cab filter.

2007 Dodge Ram diesel

according to alldata u dont have one.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

biggest thing on a diesel is running clean fuel, fuel filters and changing oil.
2007 might have been the 1st year of DPF on their diesel IIRC. if thats the case make sure you give'r a good hard drive every so often and not to idle it for hours at a time that way the DPF can regenerate and doesnt plug.

no DPF on my rig that is why I will never sell it. Well I would if someone offered me $100k

My Suzuki has both. Each gets changed out together.

Forum acting strange. CME coming in?

What sort of fan and how do you intend to power it when it gets so bad you need to hole up and breath HEPA filtered air? Then there is the whole balance between exhaust and osa to keep the space positive.

I intend to have a solar setup - with batteries of course to minimize grid power use.

I intend to consult with experts on how to setup the air/heating/cooling system.

Not that you asked...

300-400cfm per ton of cooling
2-3 Air Changes Per Hour for residential minimum

Calculate the cubic feet of the space x the desired ACH and divide that by 60 for CFM

Calculate the pressure drop through the inlet louver/damper, ductwork, filters, coils, grilles/diffusers, etc.

Fans are selected based upon CFM and total static pressure.

Then there is the exhaust equation where the OSA has to be adjusted to ensure the space stays positive to atmosphere.

And that is just the evap side. There is still the whole condenser side of the equation.

It takes a lot of volts/amps to move that air, so you will need a decent sized solar grid.

Add in the number of normal or additional people makes things more interesting. Nominal vs critical. Each person puts out a lot of heat, sweat and breath vapor. Do not forget that heavy duty ball bearing exhaust motor in the heavily ventilated toilet room.
