MANUFACTURERS ROOF VENTILATORS
"EFFICO'* WIND-DRIVEN ROOF VENTILATORS:
The Effico Ventilator consists of a wind-driven head to which suction blades are permanently connected (on the underside) making an efficient exhaust fan. Rotation of the head creates an exhaust suction in the throat of the ventilator. There are no moving parts.
Bearings.--Effico Bearings are full hall bearings, are solidly enclosed and oil-flooded (also dust and scid proof). They are as sturdy as the best automobile bearings, and will run in a dry state for
years, but we oil-flood them as an extra precaution.

All EfEcoe will draw considerable air ata 1-mile breeze (an apparent

50 per cent larger than its stack area; this is ample, as no wind enters ventilator to gain the so-called siphonage effect. Suction fan is same size as rotating cowl. Thus each Effico is equipped with fan over
SO per cent greater in diameter than its stack area. Fan pulls air up
stack at even the slowest turning movement and wind blowing acroes

Effico Wind Electric Ventilator, Automatic
Patented May 20, 1922; March 20,
1928; August 21, 1928.
The Effico Wind Electric Ventilator, Full Automatic
Recommended for those in stallations which require a definite minimum exhaust at all times or which may require an unusually heavy exhaust at intermittent periods. This is the regular Effico equipped with an auxiliary electrically operaated fan placed in the ventilator throat just below the regular fan. The throat is slightly en larged to allow for the motor.

Venlilators
Principle of Operation of Wind Electric Ventilator--When the wind is blowing sufficiently to remove the desired amount of air from the build ing being ventilated, the electric motor is still. Instantly, when the wind turbine moves below a previously determined number of revolutions, the electric motor starts automatically and carries the load. The entire apparatus is noiseless, the motor is of fully enclosed type, will run for six months with out oiling, will not heat under constant running.
Special Advantages--Besides the regular.auto matic operation, the motor may also be so connected as to give a maximum exhaust capacity (running full speed) by manual control, thus allowing a great volume of air to be exhausted at will.
Effico Internal Louver Unit Ventilators
The Effico internal louver unit comprises the Effico rotary ball bearing ventilator head con structed with a specially short base, or neck. In this base is built a circular multiple blade louver damper. The damper is carefully balanced and heavily constructed. The blades lap and are fitted in a circular frame. It is adaptable for manual control, but is intended for a thermostatic control system. The roof base is very low, is part of this unit and is supplied with either the square or round base.
The roof base and the ventilator head are con nected by means of angle iron companion rings, which give solidity and facilitate the taking down of the ventilator when required. Each ventilator neck has also a tight fitting door to give free access to the louvers and to the operating motor. 'The operating motor is suspended underneath the damper to a cross brace. The object of the specially low base and the low roof base is to make the entire unit as low to the roof as possible.
Heads only. Effico Heads without dampers are also supplied.
Suggested Specificatons
The roof ventilators shall be of the sizes as shown in plans, [square base] [round base] style to be made of [galvanized steel] [Cop-r-loy] [copper]. [The pneumatic damper motor to be supplied with these units]. [Shall be supplied by the heating and ventilating Contractor]. They shall be the Effico Internal Louver Unit ventilators as manufactured by the W. F. Hirschman Co., Inc.. Buffalo, N.Y.

Effico Louver Dampers
Made of stretcher leveled sheet steel. The pneumatic damper motor is supplied and installed with these units unless not desired. (Note speci fications below).
Effico Louver Unit
Low height. The Effico louver unit sets very low (note dimensions at right).
Height above Coping
Louver Unit "C" dimension should be above coping.
Effico Rotary Ball Bearing Ventilator Head
The Effico rotary ball bearing ventilator head is already lower in height by 50 per cent than other rotary types of ventilator. By using the con struction as., outlined above, the entire unit is brought as low to the roof as is permissible to still allow the air free exhausting, and to maintain the outlets above the snowline. By adopting the. circular multiple louvers, of which we are the in ventors, we can standardize on sizes and build the round louver for considerably less than the square or rectangular styles, many $>f which we have built in the past years.
By installing same in the neck of the ventilator at our shop, we not only give a perfect fit, but also eliminate all indefiniteness as to the correct location and size of the damper and cut the installing cost to one-quarter. It is also easier to install the operating motor and makes it more accessible. The size of the damper is the full size of the stack, and yet is about 40 per cent smaller in area than those here tofore used in the square or rectangular louver, again reducing the cost considerably. By supplying the contractor with the complete unit the builder is assured of a well designed, uniform and complete apparatus.
Heretofore, the contractor purchased the venti lator from one manufacturer, probably built the roof base himself, and purchased the dampers elsewhere, or even the dampers were supplied and installed by another contractor. This added materially to the cost.
