 Widely recognised as the most efficient industrial ventilator available in the world today. Hurricane was the first industrial ventilator to incorporate vertical vane design which tests at University of Technology Sydney have shown to be superior in air handling capacity to the traditional spherical vane design ventilators.
Hurricane is designed and manufactured in Australia for harsh operating conditions. It is suitable for industrial, commercial and community buildings, including schools. Throat sizes available include 100mm, 150mm, 300mm, 400mm, 450mm, 500mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, and 900mm.
The wind driven Hurricane ventilator exhausts hot, stale air from buildings and allows it to be replaced at low level with fresh air at ambient temperature. The result is a much more pleasant and healthier working environment.
The installation of Hurricane™ Turbine Roof Ventilators will provide an efficient and cost effective system of natural ventilation.
Designed and manufactured in Australia for a harsh environment, the Hurricane™ is suited for Industrial, Commercial and community buildings, including schools, where its low starting torque provides ventilation for hot classrooms on virtually still days.

Meets The Highest Of Standards :
|
Manufactured from 5005 grade aluminium, the Hurricane has been tested by Construction Research Laboratories Inc, Miami, Florida and withstood a continuous gusting wind of 240km/hr without damage. It has also passed the requirements of the Low Speed Dynamic Rain Penetration Test (3L/m at 57.4km/hr).

Turbo Wind Ventilation ia all about having a well designed ventilation system for a building which in turn contributes to the improved productivity and a safer work environment. Adequate ventilation means stale, polluted or uncomfortably hot air is exchanged with fresh, external air, improving the quality and comfort of the internal environment for building occupants. It can also help reduce energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
|
With more than 70 years experience in ventilation systems,Turbo ventilators, Edmonds is the market leader in natural, wind driven vent technology. Hurricane™ ventilation systems have been installed in almost every building environment, from the extreme heat of the Middle East, the gales of southern USA, to the cold of Canada and the rain of New Zealand.

Using Turbo ventilators why Ventilate commercial and Industrial buildings?
|
1] Turbo ventilators help to reduce internal temperatures in summer
|
A well ventilated building can reduce the build up of trapped heat, making for more effi cient temperature control and a more comfortable workplace. Hot air built up during the day is removed and replaced with the cooler evening air which, in turn, is stored in high thermal structures like concrete slabs. Th e next morning, warm air entering a building is cooled by impact with the cold structures.
|
2] Turbo ventilators help to reduce humidity and potential corrosion
|
Reducing moisture levels inside a building not only improves the environment for the occupants, but also reduces the potential for corrosion of building structures.
|
3] Turbo ventilators help to reduce energy consumption
|
A ventilated building can have temperatures up to 4 degrees lower than a non-ventilated building at midday. You won’t need to rely so much on air conditioners, which means lower ongoing energy bills.
|
4] Turbo ventilators help to remove pollutants
|
Some workplaces can produce atmospheric pollutants which cause distress at critical levels. Natural ventilation continuously removes pollutants, replacing them with clean, fresh air.
|
5] Turbo ventilators help to release smoke
|
Any buildings today are required to install smoke release vents which are often pneumatically controlled hatches with fusible links, which spring open in the event of high temperatures or smoke build up. They are costly, but rarely used. Specifically designed natural wind ventilators can replace smoke release vents and perform both the function of smoke release and constant ventilation – a dual purpose, with assured return on investment.
|
The above mentioned points are the key benefits of ventilating a building using turbo wind ventilators.
|
Choosing the right HURRICANE™ ventilation system or turbo ventilator.
|
When choosing a turbo or turbine ventilation system the Edmonds AS4740 design program takes many factors into consideration and calculates the optimal ventilation scheme for a building to achieve desired air exchange rates. Following a site visit, or on receipt of your building plans, Edmonds can help architects, engineers or building owners to make the right selection,in line with AS4740.

Test Of Two Wind-Driven Roof Ventilators to AS:4740
|
INSEARCH Limited tested Hurricane™ against the old design onion vent shape under conditions of the new Australian ventilation standard, AS4740:2000, Hurricane 400 achieved a 206% superior exhaust performance. This reflects the benefits of the new high torque vertical vane design. A copy of this test carried out by University of technology is available on request.
