The installation of Hurricane Turbine Roof Ventilators will provide an efficient and cost effective systems of natural ventilation. Designed in Australia for a harsh environment, the Hurricane is suited for industrial, commercial and community buildings. It has also passed the requirements of the low speed Dynamic Rain Penetration Test (3 l/m at 57.4 km/hr)
HURRICANE TURBINE VENTILATORS IMPROVE THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The wind - driven Hurricane ventilator exhausts hot, stale air from buildings and allows it to be replaced at low level with fresh air at ambient temperature. The result, naturally, is a much more pleasant working environment. The hurricane has other benefits too. It prevents condensation by exhausting moist air. And, in cases of fire, it plays a safety role by exhausting smoke and fumes from the building.
THE HURRICANE TURBINE VENTILATOR OFFERS
THE UNIQUE TANDACO BEARING SYSTEM
The Hurricane incorporates the Tandaco double row heavy duty ball bearing system manufactured to perform for a lifetime It is secured into a reinforced bearing holder with variable length buttresses designed to stabilise the turbine at all wind speeds. The bearing is completely isolated from corrosive environmental conditions by its location between the dome and top diaphragm. The Tandaco bearings is a precision ground spindle bearing with a double row ball bearing cage.
THE UNIQUE TANDACO BEARING SYSTEM
As well as exhausting warm and stale air, ventilators must be weather proof which imposes influences on design that can be detrimental to their performance . Vertical Vane design has distinct benefits over spherical turbines.

Testing of Hurricane Ventilators Vs. Spherical Vane Ventilators |
Designed to withstand heat, dust, high wind loads, harsh and extreme environmental conditions, the Hurricane vertical vane ventilator is ideal for industrial, commercial and community buildings. The Hurricane provides efficient and cost-effective systems of natural ventilation.
The Hurricane scores over the spherical vane design ventilator in the following aspects:
The most popular existing applications:
Certified
Stable in 200 KpH wind test
Leak proof in 2.5 ltr/sec rain test
Atleast 40% higher discharge than spherical vane ventilators
