Description
Mechanical Roof Ventilation – Wind Roof Ventilation
Wind roof Ventilation, rotary roof Ventilation or mechanical roof Ventilation as the name suggests, is a Ventilation that works by wind to provide effective ventilation.
These types of Ventilation are round metal valves that have fins in them that a little wind can be enough for ventilation. The faster the wind, the faster the turbine spins and expels heat, smoke, moisture, etc.
Warm air inside the house or shed tends to rise. When the turbines spin, they move the warm air out through the vents, thereby reducing the temperature in the house or shed and allowing fresh air in through the doors and windows. Be provided.
Size, number and installation all depend on various factors including wind speed, temperature difference, environmental conditions and building size. These types of valves have been widely used in residential, industrial and warehouse buildings for years.

Advantages of Shahrokhi mechanical roof ventilation
When it comes to mechanical roof vents, there are many advantages:
1- Easier and cheaper installation
This type of valve is significantly easier to install, and there are no electrical components involved as they are powered directly by the wind.
2- Very effective
In low wind conditions, they do an admirable job of moving warm air out of the property. However, when the wind is blowing, these vents become a powerful vacuum of hot air, pulling it through the vent as effectively as any electric alternative.
3- Suitable for different dimensions of the roof
There is no minimum or maximum size a roof must be for them to be effective. They work great on smaller ceilings and larger ceilings can be handled simply by adding them.
Disadvantages of mechanical roof ventilation
The coin has two sides and these types of Ventilators are not excluded from this group and besides the mentioned advantages, they also have disadvantages:
1- They are effective only if there is wind
In high winds, this product is the most effective roof hatch available. Unfortunately, wind power is not very reliable, and if you live in an area that doesn’t get a lot of wind, this type of vent may not be for you.
2- It needs periodic maintenance
Mechanical roof vents require maintenance over time, and like any appliance with moving parts, they wear out with use. The more the turbine is used, the faster the wear happens, meaning the more work the turbine has to do, the shorter its life.
If the product is not taken care of properly it will start to make noise after a while and since the turbine is powered by wind, you cannot turn off the air valve to stop the noise; But with periodic maintenance, you can keep the valve healthy for a long time.
