SPECIAL VARIATIONS
FR900 Fire-Rated option meets the fire resistant test to AS 1668.1-1998. The use of ventilation and air conditioning in buildings, Part 1: Fire and smoke control in multi-compartment buildings Section 4.8. Smoke-Spill fan.
BFR Bush Fire Rated option for buildings in Bushfire Prone Vegetation Category 1 areas. It is designed to comply with the Deemed to Satisfy provisions of AS3959.
S2 Corrosion Resistant option for water reservoirs or environments that are oxidative or slightly acidic (non-caustic).
HI Heavy Industrial option with polyolefin coating for highly corrosive environments.
CONDENSATION CONTROL
Condensation inside buildings from poor ventilation can result in mold and bacteria growth, equipment damage, plus additional repair and maintenance costs from water damaged walls and ceilings, spoiled goods or disruption to production processes. The most effective way to minimize condensation is to ventilate the building with fresh air. The Hurricane ventilator can provide high ventilation rates to reduce moisture build-up inside. Applications include refrigerated warehouses, dry goods storage, meat and dairy processing plants and livestock sheds.
In the event of a fire, the Hurricane Fire Rated FR special variation is engineered to provide both continuous ventilation and smoke release capability to Section 4.8.1 of AS1668.1-1998: The use of ventilation and air conditioning in buildings, Part 1: Fire and smoke control in multi-compartment buildings. Compared to traditional pneumatically released ventilators, the Hurricane FR includes both constant ventilation and responsive smoke release capacity which is boosted by the buoyancy effect of rising hot air. It has been demonstrated that the Hurricane FR does not interfere with Early Suppression Fast Response sprinkler systems, making it an ideal choice for ventilation and smoke control in all types of facilities.
The Hurricane S2 is ideal for water reservoirs and other highly oxidative, slightly acidic (non caustic),and moisture rich environments. By improving air movement in the space and reducing condensation risk, the Hurricane S2 ventilator can minimize corrosion and extend asset life of metal roof and wall surfaces, as well as other equipment and componentry.
The ventilator turbine is coated both inside and outside with a polyolefin coating providing superior corrosion resistance. The Hurricane S2 is engineered with a deflector flange located beneath the bearing. The bearing is then located above the top plate of the vent to reduce exposure to harsh vapors. This ensures a longer service life compared to normal ventilators, even in harsh environments. Applications include swimming pool complexes, water storage/tanks, caustic soda and sulfuric acid handling plants.
The Hurricane Heavy Industrial HI special variation is built to perform in highly corrosive environments, particularly where acidic or caustic fumes are required to be exhausted.
By improving air movement in the space and reducing condensation risk, the Hurricane HI ventilator can minimize chemical attack from corrosive fumes and extend the asset life of
metal roof and wall surfaces, as well as other equipment and componentry. The Hurricane HI has superior corrosion resistance. The ventilator turbine is available in aluminium finish, poylyolefin white, or a range of powder coat colors upon request. Applications include ceramic plants, power coating facilities and gritty environments.

Hurricane was the first industrial ventilator to incorporate vertical vane design which tests at University of Technology Sydney have shown to be have an improved co-efficient of discharge (Cd) compared to similar sized traditional spherical vents.
Hurricane range of Special Variation ventilators such as Heavy Industrial (HI) ventilator that are designed for large spaces, such as factories, where the environment is considered potentially harmful to even coated steel. A protective polyolefin coating can be applied to HI when the environment are considered potentially harmful to aluminium. It is suitable for corrosive environments with fumes pH 4-7 inclusive. Application examples for HI ventilators are ceramic plants, power coating facilities and gritty environments.

CSR Edmonds manufacturer of the Hurricane industrial ventilator, have developed a patented hybrid vent design that uses electronic commutating motor technology located in the top of the Hurricane Ventilator.
The design allows the vent to spin freely under wind load and provide the same exhaust rate as the traditional Hurricane vent. The free area of the throat is NOT impeded, unlike current vent / fan combinations. When required the vent can be powered which provides a huge boost to the flow rate, at an extraordinarily high efficiency; 110 m3/hr/watt of energy - far more energy efficient than any conventional powered fan.
The guaranteed exhaust rate regardless of wind speed or 'stack effect' can be controlled by digital measurement of a range of physical properties or chemical entities including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, etc.
Wind turbine ventilators can perform this function well, however for reliability they depend on favourable wind conditions, which are not always present when temperatures are extreme. They are, in effect, 'slaves to the vagaries of wind'. CSR Edmonds has developed and secured intellectual properly rights for the wald's first true hybrid ventilator. The ecopower is both a wind driven and mototised ventilator with the capacity to operate by wind alone or by both wind and electrical power simultaneously.
ecopower utilizes an electronic commutating (EC) motor installed in the head of the ventilator to enable motorised boost during periods of low wind speed or special ventilation needs. The motor can be activated by any digital measure, such as temperature, humidity gas concentration level et::. The standard product is controlled manually by a switch (not included).
Unlike previous attempts to produce Ct hybrid mechanical/wind vent, ecopower has no motor and fan blade in the throat of the vent. This is extremely important. Research using AS4740:2000 (Performance of Natural Ventilators) has shown clearly that any obstruction in the throat of a wind ventilator will greatly decrease vent performance under wind load. The level of flow reduction can be 40% or greater. Also, axial fans located in the throat of wind vents can produce significant noise levels. ecopower is ale large direct drive centrifugal fan. The bearing system of the motor becomes the bearing system of the ventilator. This means that the vent can be free spinning under wind load or power activated as conditions require. The use of an EC motor ensures that the best energy efficiency features available are factored into the product design.
1. Applications that require faster removal of heat / humidity / fumes / any particular gas if its concentration increases beyond a certain level require the ecopower to run on power mode where as under normal conditions, it is required to run without power.
The last century has seen tremendous progress in technological development that is underpinning the progress of the modern day human civilization. Unfortunately, however, such progress is giving rise to unwanted problems of grave consequences that have the potential to destroy the very environment which sustains life. There is now a real eagerness and greater awareness in the general public to look for alternative natural energy systems and products to help alter the present energy use patterns that have lead to this dilemma.
In the past, the building codes and policies of most of the developed nations were implemented to ensure the safety and adequate sanitary conditions for occupants and protect the public from hazards such as fire, electrical problems, sewage disposal, etc. It is more recently that emphasis has been placed on energy efficiency and sustainable buildings. Issues have varied over time, but recently the catalyst for such policy changes has come about as a result of rising greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption, as well as land use practices such as deforestation. Thus governments around the world are grappling with ideas regarding building policies and the potential benefits to not only the people that use them but the environment in which the buildings exist.
