摘要
A ridge vent with powered forced air ventilation includes a ridge vent that is configured to be installed along the ridge of a roof covering an elongated ridge slot on either side of a ridge beam of the roof. Hot air from the attic below escapes by convection through the ridge slot and is expelled to ambient atmosphere through the ridge vent. A blower is mounted in a blower opening formed at a predetermined location along the ridge vent on one side of the ridge beam. The blower includes a blower housing forming an inlet within the attic and an outlet oriented to force air upwardly through the vent slot to be expelled through the ridge vent. A pair of baffles are hingedly secured to the housing adjacent its outlet and can be hinged up for dropping the blower through the blower opening during installation, and then hinged down and attached to a roof deck covering the blower opening and a portion of the ridge slot on the other side of the ridge beam. The baffles secure the blower and help to isolate its outlet from the attic space below. An impeller is disposed in the housing and is driven by an electric motor, which may be driven by electricity from a solar panel, electricity from a household electrical service, or both depending upon availability of sunlight and other conditions.
