DESIGN

Scientific engineering principles has

lead to our 5 Series providing optimal
performance in all weather conditions
and minimises the risk of back
drafting and the entry of moisture.
The spherical design of the 5 Series builds on this by
promoting the effect of wind as it wraps around the
spherical shaped head and draws from the leeward side.
With a free open area 25% larger than a typical straight
vane ventilator, we have maximised this wind effect
ensuring high air flow performance rates. The unique
blade design and large free open area maximises the
efficiency of air moving through the ventilator and out
of the building without compromising its weathertight
capabilities. The 5 Series is CSIRO tested to AS2428 &
AS1668 and has proven design advantages over other
‘rotary roof vent’ designs in the market.

Performance
To provide our customers with the best experience, we are working on upgrading our website to include a
new calculator that will allow you to have all relevant information in a few clicks. In the meantime, please
contact our sales team for assistance with any airflow calculations.

Inlet/Makeup Air Due to the need for makeup air, adequate inlets are essential for any
ventilation system to operate effectively. While it is recommended an inlet
ratio of 1.5 : 1 (inlet : discharge) exist, Airocle can assist in designing or
developing a ventilation system to suit custom circumstances.

Night Purge
Night flushing works by opening up the Natural Ventilation system throughout the night, to cool down the
thermal mass in a building by convection. Early in the morning before temperatures rise too far, the building
is closed and kept sealed throughout the day to prevent hot air from outside entering. During the day, the cool
mass absorbs heat from occupants and other internal loads.

 Airocle Catalogue > 5 Series 14

Booster fans with manual or automatic timing controls can play a fundamental role in getting the most out of
your night purge system. By overcoming the often still air during night time periods, booster fans have
successfully allowed classrooms, laboratories, halls and offices to achieve comfortable environments
throughout the day while keeping windows and doors closed, and the noise outside.

Booster Fan
Incorporating a booster fan into your 5 Series gives building designers the combination of reliable natural and
mechanical ventilation. Switch between the economy and sustainability of natural airflow and the reliability of
mechanical extraction, and embrace the cost and environmental benefits of using a truly hybrid system.
Airocle 5 Series give you the sustainability and energy efficiency of natural ventilation during normal operation
with the security and reliability and flexibility of increased airflow performance in night purge situations with the
activation of booster fans.

Higher Performance
We have focused on providing designers a high performance natural ventilation product with the ability to
reliably boost this natural force with established fan principles when required - achieving much higher air flow
rates than comparative hybrid designs.

No Reduction In Throat Area

Our booster fan arrangement ensures that the throat area of each ventilator is not restricted.
By mounting each booster fan in the larger volumetric area of the underneath transition base, it allows air to
move freely through to the ventilator during natural mode and deliver uninterrupted airflow.
Note: All installation must be in accordance with Airocle’s fixing and connection details.

A Fire Rated Smoke Hazard Management Solution

The Fire Rated (FR) smoke spill fan option along with our fire rated (FR) 5 Series product range ensures
that your smoke hazard management system has the capability to be incorporated into high sensitivity and
demanding environments.
Rated for 200°C for 120 minutes; 300°C for 30 minutes, Airocle 5 Series meet all relevant fire brigade
requirements, standards and building codes, while improving sustainability and project budgets.

Incorpoating a smoke spill fan into your fire rated 5 Series gives building designers the option of reliable smoke
hazard management and natural ventilation. Switch between the economy and sustainability of natural airflow
for ventilation and the reliability of mechanical smoke extraction in the event of fire situations. The smoke spill
fans allow for increased airflow performance for smoke management during a fire with the fans triggered from
the FIP.

Note: Smoke spill fans are not to be used for general ventilation purposes. They must only used for smoke
clearance.

Dampers

Description
Using European designed electric actuators; the ability to open, close or restrict airflow through the ventilator
makes it perfect for summer/winter operations or link to a range of control sensors. With the ability to be
power or spring return open/close or even modulating, it provides an excellent way of controlling airflow while
remaining weathertight.

Pneumatically Operable Dampers

Pneumatic operable dampers provide the ability to control ventilation airflow and operate under power failure
situations through our compressor and receiver tank design – making them an excellent weathertight way to
reliably perform smoke hazard management and operate during emergencies.

Manually Operable Dampers

Manually operated dampers make ventilation control easy. Supplied with cord, guides and a return spring
shut damper blade, this option allows smaller buildings an economical and simple way of keeping building
occupants in comfort.

Mesh
Bird Guards, Insect Mesh, Bushfire Mesh
Keeping birds, insects, debris and fire embers from entering the ventilator is important for sensitive internal
environments and in bushfire prone zones. Our ability to incorporate a range of mesh materials and apertures
within the 5 Series ensures your building is secure.

Cyclone Rated

The 5 Series (transition base only) can be rated for up to Category D cyclone regions under AS1170 ensuring the
structural integrity and performance across all parts of Australia. This has seen the 5 Series become common
feature on buildings throughout tropical regions including mining operations and cyclone shelters.
Fire Rated

The fire rated (FR) 5 Series option gives designers the ability to use natural ventilation in
fire and smoke environments, meeting all relevant fire brigade requirements, standards
and building codes, while improving sustainablity and budget outcomes.

The fire rated (FR) 5 Series, and optional dampers and smoke spill fans are all rated for:
a) 200°C for 120 minutes FIRE TESTED
b) 300°C for 30 minutes AS/NZS1668.2 &
AS/NZS2428.4

Tested to AS1668.1-1998 part 4.8.1, the 5 Series delivers reliable smoke exhaust, greater safety for occupants,
and increases the ability for emergency services to safely access the building and fire.

Acoustic Dampening

Our unique Phonic acoustic dampening system can be fully integrated into the 5 Series. An efficient method
of noise attenuation, the use of ignition retardant and hydrolysis resistant insulation allows vents to reduce
noise transmission both out of and into the building, and retain their high discharge coefficient heat and smoke

Typical Installation An even distribution across the roof area is

appropriate for flat or very shallow roofs, but
venting in steep roofs would be more effective if
located near the apex.

Slope Mounted Ridge Mounted

Installing on Roofs

Installation is simple and quick due to each base being custom made to suit the pitch and profile
of your roof. Vents are assembled fully assembled as head and base components.

The building contractor must ensure that the vent is fitted appropriately to the roof structure and that any
internal structural supports do not impede the flow path through the vent under normal operating conditions.

Vents will be provided with a full installation manual to ensure ease of installation.
