You must have seen the rotating round equipment on industrial roofs. They are called turbo ventilators or eco ventilators whose purpose is to help to vent the hot air from inside the premises into the atmosphere. Turbo ventilators are self-driven equipment installed on the roofs to extract inside air. They don’t require additional energy as they are operated by the atmospheric wind and in doing so, inside air is exhausted through it and the natural inward flow of fresh air is boosted.
Despite appearing a little complicated at the first glance, it is a piece of fairly simple equipment with minimum parts but provides a significant number of benefits. Let’s have a look at them.
As the name suggests, a turbo ventilator provides easy ventilation for all structures and help in moving damp, moist air outside the building which could otherwise cause damage to equipment used in the building. Accumulation of moisture and dampness can cause rusting in metal equipment and can provide a favourable environment for different kinds of bacteria and fungi.
Turbo ventilators allow the circulation of fresh air in the premises and prevent damages caused by mould, fungi and moisture.

Turbo ventilators on roofs consume lesser space compared to other methods of ventilation and they are much more effective. Comparatively, other ventilations like ridge vents require more space and are not as effective. Turbo ventilators are flexible and can be placed at almost any optimum place on the roof.
Turbo ventilators are completely self-driven and don’t require any energy source like electricity. They are operated by the wind and can keep running endlessly without supplying any energy. Even slight wind on the rooftops is enough to operate it. This way they result in huge cost savings.
The simple rounded design of turbo ventilators makes them modest equipment with the least amount of parts. Hence they don’t face failure much often and are only affected by large debris or huge storms. With minimal maintenance and oiling, they can keep going for years before you need to replace them.
Turbo ventilators are very helpful ventilation equipment. However, it is important to note that they can be affected by frequent storms which can damage them and make them prone to rusting. Sometimes, a little friction may also make them noisier which can be solved by regular oiling. Otherwise, they are very reliable equipment that can keep working without supervision. Turbo ventilator installation is however a little tricky and requires precision cutting on roofs and additional layers of sealant to prevent leakages. So it is a job best left to professionals.
