Roof Exhaust Fan Guidelines and Operating Instructions
Exhaust fans should be evenly spaced with a maximum of 50' [15 M] centerlines between exhaust fans. Roof
exhaust fans should be located as close to the top of sloped roofs as practical and evenly spaced on flat
roofs.
Exhaust fans should always operate when the main fans are operated.
Remember hot air continues to rise after the main fans are turned off so the roof exhaust fans should be run
for a minimum of 30-60 minutes (use a timer) after the main fans are turned off to remove all potential
condensation from under the bin / silo roof.
Potential condensation under the bin or silo roof is always possible whenever there is a 15° F [9° C]
differential between dead air temperature under the bin or silo roof and ambient air temperature. When
sized correctly at 125% to 165% of the main fan full bin or silo CFM potential - operating a roof exhaust fan
with makeup roof vent system will change the under roof temperature to the outside temperature and
reduce the possibility of under roof condensation. The SafeTrack temperature detection system with the
relay control module option will detect potential condensation situations and then automatically control the
roof exhaust fans. (Visit www.safegrain.com for more information on SafeTrack relay control modules).
For bins and silos without the SafeTrack exhaust fan control system - we recommend manual operation of
just the roof exhaust fans whenever there is a 15° F [9° C] differential between dead air temperature under
the bin or silo roof and ambient air temperature.
Use make up roof vents sized at 1,000 to 1,500 CFM / FPM per square foot of venting (1,250 CFM / FPM
velocity is a good target) to supply the 25% to 100% excess exhaust capacity required.
For example:
o Total exhaust air of 51,000 CFM less total main air of 34,000 CFM = 17,000 CFM make up air
o 17,000 CFM make up air / 1,250 FPM
o = Minimum 13.6 Sq. Ft. [1.263 M2]+/- recommended make up vents
Make up roof vents should be located as physically distant as practical from roof exhaust fans to allow the
make-up air to travel the greatest distance possible to prevent under roof condensation.
