Powered Temp-Vent Series 5 (Two
Piece Construction)
Description: Powered Temp-Vent systems are designed for
foundations that require a higher rate of airflow and for areas
that are difficult to vent. Depending on the model they can move
large amounts of air per hour. Designed to run continuously on a
low speed, they draw minimal electricity. However, Temp-Vent
recommends power vents be fitted with a thermostat and a
humidistat to control the operation of the vent.
To determine the correct number of Power
Temp-Vents, use the following formula:
-
Multiply the square feet
of the crawl space by the height in feet. This gives the
number of cubic feet in the crawl space.
-
Multiply the cubic feet
in the crawl space by the number of air changes per hour
desired (4-6 is the recommendation). This gives the total
number of cubic feet of air that has to be moved per hour to
produce the desired number of air changes.
-
Divide this number by
either 7,200 or 11,160 — depending on which model is being
used — to obtain the number of power vents needed.
-
Install Automatic vents
to provide air intake on one side of the foundation with the
power vents on the other side to create a system of intake and
exhaust.
Calculating how many foundation vents are needed.
Example: 1500 square foot crawl space x 3 feet high =
4500
4500 cubic feet x 6 = 27,000 / 7,200 = 3.74
Install 4 power vents with intake vents on the opposite side
Power vents should be placed on one side of the house with
non-powered vents that act as intake vents, on the side.
A Thermostat should be used to turn the fan off in
freezing weather to protect pipes under the home and save
energy.

A Humidistat should also be connected to the fan to
control the operation of the vent. A damp weather shut-off
humidistat will turn the unit off when it's raining outside.

A Duct System is available that attaches to a
powered foundation vent to provide targeted ventilation in hard
to reach areas.
