Ventilators

Building Construction & Materials

Intro

● Ventilators play a vital role in today’s world, helping to provide ventilation to

various structures.
● Being one of the most important factors that help maintain good quality of
indoor air, ventilators help to control indoor temperature, replenish oxygen,
remove odor, excessive moistures, keep the air circulating within a building
and prevent stagnation of the interior air.
Types

Ventilators are classified into mainly two types:

1. Framed
2. Mechanical

Framed ventilators are fixed window shaped

device which enhance the existing natural
ventilation.

Mechanical ventilators are those which

generally have moveable parts to push the air to
generate a certain flow.
 Types of framed ventilators
based of material:
Framed ventilators ● PVC
● Wood
● Stainless steel
Framed ventilators are generally
window shaped devices which have
small openings to regulate the amount
of flow of air between the spaces.

They can be made of different

materials and used for different
purposes based of on the size and
location of the opening.
Framed ventilators
Types based on their size of
openings:
● Adjustable louvred
ventilators
● Fixed louvred
ventilators
● Awning window
ventilators
● Attenuated ventilators
Attenuated ventilators are specially used for space which require less light and
sound from the outer space while having sufficient ventilation inside.
Mechanical Types of mechanical ventilators:
ventilators ● Jet fan
● Roof mounted fan
● Axial fan
Mechanical ventilators are generally ● Inline centrifugal fan
used in large spaces where large ● Wall mounted propeller fan
amounts of ventilation is required to
be done continuously.

These ventilators have moving moving

parts which control the rate of air flow
throughout the system.
