Colt Labyrinth Gravity Ventilators - A Gravity Roof Ventilator or Wall Ventilator, for Sound Attenuated Natural Ventilation in Heavy Industries

The Labyrinth is the principal ventilator used by Colt to ventilate aluminium smelters.

Labyrinth is a compact, roof or wall mounted, gravity (or natural extract) ventilator designed especially for industries which produce large quantities of heat and noise such as steel works, rolling mills, foundries and power stations, where on the one hand a lot of heat has to be extracted, but on the other hand, the noise nuisance has to be restricted. It has aerodynamically designed louvres to provide continuous weatherproof ventilation. The unit can be used for air extract and air inflow and can be adapted to accept sound absorbers.

Gravity Ventilators - Labyrinth Roof or Wall Ventilator

Ventilator Body

The body of the ventilator contains a series of louvres which create a series of labyrinthine channels which prevent rain entry and reflect noise, whilst permitting weatherproof ventilation.

Further Options

  • Shutter section - to prevent unnecessary loss of heat and to regulate the air capacity. This is either pneumatically or electrically operated
  • Brush seals - fitted to shutter sections to increase airtightness when closed
  • Sound absorbing material - fitted to the louvres
  • Sound absorbers - fitted underneath the louvres.
