ATTIC AIR INTAKE AND DISCHARGE
Your wholehouse ventilator will be discharging a large volume of air into the attic every minute. It is obvious that provisions must be made to
allow this air to escape to the outside. The sketches below illustrate several different types of exhaust vents that are in common usage. Of
these types, the under-eave and gable methods are the most prevalent. Under-eave exhaust is probably the most satisfactory from the stand-
point of simplicity and economical installation.
Each size fan requires a given amount of minimum outlet in order to insure quiet operation and unrestricted air movement. The table
below shows the minimum area to be provided for each fan, and the increased size that is required if the outlet is restricted with louvres,
screening, etc.
Sufficient outlet air is most important. Unless enough is provided, the fan will be overloaded, and the motor will run hot, causing the ther-
mal protector to turn it off. When it cools, it will start again. Such intermittent operation is usually an indication of too little outlet air or too little
input air through the house.
