Turbo Ventilators
Turbo Ventilators for Industrial Roof Ventilation
The Brilantor daylight system is designed to enhance natural daylighting inside large buildings by redistributing available light efficiently. By supporting daylight harvesting, Brilantors help reduce dependence on artificial industrial lighting while improving illumination quality in workspaces.
What Are Turbo Ventilators?
Turbo ventilators are wind-driven roof vents installed on industrial and commercial roofs to remove trapped heat, fumes, humidity, and stale air. Unlike powered exhaust fans, a turbine ventilator relies entirely on natural airflow, making it a reliable, maintenance-free solution for large buildings that require continuous roof ventilation systems.
How a Roof Air Ventilator Works
A roof air ventilator works using a rotating turbine head that spins even with minimal wind pressure. As the turbine ventilator rotates, it creates negative pressure inside the building, pulling out hot air and allowing fresh air to enter naturally. This passive air vent mechanism provides effective ventilation without relying on electricity, motors, or wiring.
Why Choose Lightball for Natural Lighting?
The Lightball system offers a simple yet effective way to introduce natural lighting into large buildings. Its diffused light output complements tubular skylights and solar tubes, making it an excellent choice where visual comfort and even illumination are priorities.
How Lightball Skylight Tubes Deliver Natural Daylight
The Lightball system uses advanced optics to transport sunlight efficiently through the roof and into your building.
Active Light Capture (The “Ball”)
The unique, impact-resistant spherical dome captures low-angle sunlight in the early morning and late afternoon far better than flat tubular skylight domes, ensuring longer hours of natural light.
Efficient Transfer (The Tube)
Sunlight is channeled through a rigid, super-reflective Solar tube. The mirror-like interior surface ensures that 99% of the captured light reaches the interior, even through long tube runs or bends.
Brilliant Diffusion (The Diffuser)
A stylish ceiling diffuser spreads the light evenly throughout the room, providing soft, glare-free illumination without the heat associated with traditional skylights.

Key Features & Benefits of Roof vents
Zero-Energy Ventilation: Turbo ventilators operate entirely on natural wind force, making them energy-free alternatives to powered exhaust fans.
Continuous Hot Air Extraction: Roof vents remove rising heat, humidity, smoke, and pollutants, improving indoor air quality for workers.
Enhances Productivity & Comfort: Improved airflow lowers internal temperature, especially in industrial sheds and warehouses
Durable & Weather-Resistant: Made using corrosion-resistant aluminum or stainless steel, turbine ventilators perform reliably across changing weather conditions.
Maintenance-Free Performance: No motors, no wiring, and no recurring operational costs—just consistent passive air flow.
Supports Sustainability: Part of eco-friendly roof ventilation systems that reduce the need for mechanical exhaust systems.
Ideal Applications for Turbine Ventilators
Warehouses & Storage Buildings
Turbo ventilators maintain air movement and reduce heat accumulation across wide-span roofs.
Manufacturing & Production Units
Roof air ventilators improve exhaust efficiency in areas with machinery heat, fumes, and industrial emissions.
Educational Institutions
Provide healthy Daylight Harvesting in classrooms and libraries to improve student focus and reduce eye strain.
Industrial Sheds
Passive air vents ensure better ventilation for tin sheds, steel structures, and high-ceiling buildings.
Commercial Buildings
Roof ventilation systems help maintain airflow in malls, workshops, supermarkets, and loading bays.
Turbo Ventilators vs Exhaust Fans
Energy Consumption
Turbo Ventilators use zero energy (wind-powered), whereas Exhaust Fans consume high electricity.
Maintenance
Turbo Ventilators require negligible maintenance, while Exhaust Fans need regular servicing.
Lifespan
Turbo Ventilators last 15–20 years, whereas Exhaust Fans have a shorter lifespan due to motor wear.
Operation
Turbo Ventilators provide 24/7 passive air venting, while Exhaust Fans depend on power availability.
Heat Exhaust Efficiency
Turbo Ventilators offer high efficiency for large roof spaces, whereas Exhaust Fans provide moderate efficiency.
Ideal For
Turbo Ventilators are ideal for industrial and warehousing spaces, while Exhaust Fans suit small indoor rooms.
Choosing the right ventilation system depends on space size, energy efficiency needs, and long-term maintenance considerations.
Key Design Considerations for Installation
Roof Slope & Orientation
Correct positioning ensures maximum wind capture for efficient turbine ventilator rotation.
Vent Spacing for Airflow
Multiple roof vents may be required depending on building size and heat load.
Material Selection
Aluminum or stainless steel options ensure long-term durability in industrial conditions.
Integration With Existing Roof Sheets
Turbo ventilators must be sealed properly to prevent leaks and ensure stability.
