WHY TURBO VENTILATORS The Romlair Turbo Ventilator is an
extremely popular and universally adaptable exhauster. This popu-
larity is due to its clean, low silhouette rugged construction and
high capacity. operation the rotative movement imparted by the
In
wind velocity creates exhaust by mechanical action similar to a
backward curved blower wheel. This centrifugal action counter-
acts resistance and boosts the natural flow of air. Momentum,
created by the high peaks of wind velocity, assures a higher, more
consistent exhaust pattern than is possible with other gravity ven-
tilators. Turbo ventilators are efficient, impressive and psycho-
logically appealing due to their effortless spinning motion. ENGINEERING DATA

AIRWAVE PANEL FANS
APPLICATIONS —
Airwave Model APB Panel Fan is an
economical, quiet operating slow speed exhauster. It is
one of the most flexible of all propeller fans, designed
particularly for comfort cooling or general ventilation in
commercial or industrial applications. This fan may be
used for either exhaust or supply or as an air circulator
in certain applications. Usually installation is made in
wall openings or roof mounted penthouses. Also installed
in shortduct runs or gooseneck elbows when minimum
staticconditions are anticipated. Automatic shutters are
available as required. Specifications and dimensions shown
on Page 1 2.
