Using the principles of aerodynamic engineering to properly ventilate your home

Another example of the Bernoulli Principle.

RIDGE VENTS

Show our product vs the competitons

As the speed of an airplane increases, air flows faster over

the curved top of the wing than underneath. The upward

pressure exerted by the air under the wing is thus greater

than the pressure exerted downward above the wing,

resulting in a net upward force, or lift.

Peak Performance.

The Bernoulli Principle

Race cars use the principle to keep their wheels pressed to the ground as they accelerate. A race car’s spoiler—shaped like an upside-down wing, with the curved surface at the bottom—produces a net downward force.

Scan the QR code with your smart phone or device to see the effect of airflow over several different ridge vent systems.

Bernoulli’s principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid’s potential energy.

The problem:Improperly designed ridge vent systems with flaps deflecting airflow... reducing the potential effectiveness for ventilation

The solution:Specially designed channels that direct the air into the ridge vent.

Series 4.4 with all weather filter, provides a more complete barrier to ensure better protection from wind-driven rain, snow, dust and insect infiltration.

Though virtually undetectable from the street, Series 5 allows just as much airflow as

external products.

Most cap shingles do not fit standard ridge vents resulting in obstruction of the baffle, sacrificing NFA. Series 6 has a revolutionary one sided design and

fits any shingle cap 9” or larger, perfectly.

Installed on the roof deck above the insulation line TruAir’s Eave Intake Vent is designed to add

intake to homes without soffit.

The freedom and usability of a rolled vent now with comparable airflow to stick vents.
