Roof Exhaust Fan Working Principle

Cold air is drawn in from outside through the soffit vents or roof.

Roof exhaust fan working principle.

As the air leaves it creates negative pressure behind it sucking in cool air from below into the soffits and creating a self repeating ventilation process. As hot air rises to the top fans push the hot air out and cool down the home by drawing in the fresh air. Attic fans are installed at the roof level of your home to regulate the heat level. All whole house fans should be installed with rubber or felt gaskets to dampen noise.

3 phase motors field convert from 230v to 460v. You can set a multi speed fan to a lower speed when noise is a problem. Theory behind attic fans is they work on the principle of drawing hot air out of the attic and pushing it outside through the gable or roof levels. These roof ventilation fans are weatherproof to ensure long life for outdoor safekeeping.

In general a large capacity fan running at low speed makes less noise than a small fan operating at high speed. Rolled venturi surrounds fan within the 18 gauge galvanized steel wind band. Rugged steel base with welded mounting plates allows easy installation. Once inside the air heats up and rises higher ultimately exiting through venting at the roof s gables through ridge vents cut into the roof s apex or other vent holes in the roof.

In simple terms it replaces the hot air in the attic with fresh air from outside. They can help you save a lot of money on your energy bills as you may not have to use air conditioning if the weather isn t too hot. Using your duct system as a whole house fan.
