You all must have seen round rotating structures installed on the roofs of various industries and factories. They are turbo ventilators or eco ventilators that vent inside hot air out of the premises and keep the inside temperature cool and managed. Looking very typical from the outside, these have a simple operating system. However, in addition to their benefits, they have some disadvantages.
Let’s explore some of the key advantages and disadvantages of having turbo ventilators for your next project.
Pros:
Efficient air circulation:
As the name suggests, turbo ventilators help in removing hot air. As air circulates, the pressure of the wind makes it rotate, which in turn removes moist warm air and replaces it with cool, drier air.
Self-driven Equipment:
Turbo Ventilators are self-driven types of equipment that don’t require electricity or any other operating cost. They are operated by wind and turn on rotating without a supply of energy, resulting in huge cost savings.
Less Space:
Turbo Ventilators are installed on the roof, requiring very little space. Unlike other ventilation products, requiring ridge vents is not so effective. Turbo ventilators can be installed in optimum space.
No Risk of Damage:
The simple, rounded design of turbo ventilators makes them easy to operate and effective. There are very few components used in it and it can only be affected by air particles and debris, which can be removed manually. Turbo Ventilators have very little maintenance. They can remain installed for many years without any replacement.
Durable:
Turbo Ventilators are made using hard galvanized steel or aluminum. This durability makes them withstand heavy rain and other weather conditions. They are less prone to continuous sun exposure than other vents.
CONS:
Although turbo ventilators have numerous benefits, they come with a variety of disadvantages that should be kept in mind before choosing them for your next project.
Wind dependency:
Turbo ventilators operate on wind speed. If there are some weather conditions, then their efficiency is reduced. During minimal wind, their turbine will not spin, reducing air circulation.
High installation cost:
Turbo ventilators may have very high installation costs as compared to normal exhaust fans. It also includes the cost of roof modifications and maintaining space for airflow.
Limited regulation:
As they work on the basis of natural airflow, there is a little control over ventilation. You may not be able to regulate the air circulation and ventilation depending on the air pressure inside.
Not aesthetic
These ventilators are protruding from the roof, which doesn’t look good for people having design concerns. One more disadvantage of these ventilators is that they can’t be customized according to building design and layout. they have a uniform design.
Can be affected by extreme weather conditions:
If not installed properly, there is a high risk of water infiltration through them. Normally they don’t create any noise, but during high wind speeds they can create noise, which can be uncomfortable.
