A 45 year engineer clears up electric sauna ventilation

Because, he's FORTY FIVE! He's FRAIL with one foot LITERALLY in the GRAVE!! j/k. Someone mentioned that he has 45 years of experience. That makes him closer to 65. If he's still doing cool shit, thats pretty cool.

I wish they'd explain the problem in a short sentence before diving right in. Maybe this blog is for people who already know what the issues with an electric sauna are... bad ventilation, I assume.

That's how you know it's written by a career engineer.

I enjoy reading articles (even if this one felt like it had been translated slightly clumsily) where scientific rigor has been applied to something mundane.

I've gained an understanding, at least.

Why is the age of any relevance here?

If you read the article, the problem is explained quite well:

> In my simple mind, the Finnish Sauna is just a type of Heat Treat Furnace or Oven that you load humans into and try to provide them with three characteristics. (1) not oversaturate their lungs with their own Carbon Dioxide waste products from being enclosed in a sauna with poor ventilation and limited fresh air volume changes (called Air Mixing in the study), (2) create an enjoyable Temperature distribution within the sauna environment (called Temperatures in the study) and lastly (3) provide a well distributed Ladled Steam Humidity cloud throughout the Sauna (called Air Condition in the study). Basically, everything you would expect for a good Finnish Sauna experience.

The rest of the article explains the ventilation needed for this.
