Abstract

The invention relates to a ventilation system which generally consists of a sheet with pressed ventilation openings, a ridgepiece, a condensation water protector, an assembly framework, a metal support for the structure, a wind protector and a protector against external radiation, which enables the roof space or attic area to be cooled naturally, thereby reducing the temperature inside the structure, dwelling or building and, advantageously, providing protection against rain, wind and radiation, such that any hot air that enters is constantly released.

Description

Ridge with ventilation system for roofs in general and attic

Field of the invention:

The present invention is related to uf> ventilation system that is placed in the part of the roof ridge, which allows the circulation of! air that passes dwarf the bed and cef ceiling βf (this can be understood as inter-roof, or attic), achieving as a result the cooling of said area, and consequently of the entire roofed structure. This invention has application at the residential, commercial * and industrial level, and can be used in virtually any type of roof structure.

For the purposes of the present invention, when reference is made to the word interweave, it should be understood as the space located between the roof ridge and the ceiling. In addition, within the definition of interlining, is the attic, which corresponds to the same space, with the difference that this can be a usable or habitable space. Finally, when the present invention refers to ridge, it should be understood as the object that is intended to be protected by means of the invention, or part thereof.

Background of the Invention:

Conventionally, the ceiling and ceiling have been constructed in such a way that they leave the intermediate area completely closed, as the previous one because I have thought that the only function of the roof is protection against the inclement weather, without taking er »Consideration of details such as the heating and cooling of the roof when planning a home.

The natural tendency is that during the summer a mass of air is formed hot in the ceiling or attic, so that this will attract more heat into the structure in general On the other hand, there are currently some insulation materials and aluminum radiation protectors that prevent the entry of heat to the structures during the day , with the drawback that they do not allow it to come out (including moisture) for a period of 24 hours; This is how hot air cannot escape from the ceiling or attic, causing among other things the use of artificial cooling methods, tafes such as air conditioners in order to achieve a more pleasant temperature, with the disadvantage that there is an increase in energy consumption Finally, it is shown that around the world 150,000 people die annually due to overheating of their homes or any other building, since they do not have artificial cooling systems, such as Air Conditioners, or simply these have failed. (The Nation 12-12-2003 Heat kills 150,000 people in the world per year).

Another common problem has been that the conventional roof does not let heat or moisture out during the day, which translates into fungus and mold problems, which are very dangerous for the health of human beings.

The question would then be: How does the ceiling cool the interior of your home or building? External radiation absorbs heat from the roof and attic thereby cooling the roof, and this in turn the home or building; a type of pool with a temperature that can be up to -10 ° C less than the outside temperature is formed with the walls of the mezzanine,

External radiation is the largest cooling factor in the world, from which you can take advantage in the hottest areas, especially in the summer season, which would result in great energy savings by not having to use both the systems of conventional cooling,

On a cloudless night when watching the roof, if you notice water or ice this means that the roof is at a lower temperature than the external temperature and is cooling your home or building.

With the application of the present invention, great benefits can be obtained, by taking advantage of the aforementioned external factors, and a! at the same time use these to solve the problems already exposed, which constitutes part of the novel element of the present invention patent.

Benefits of the invention:

In addition to those already mentioned, one of the great benefits of the present invention is the fact of being friendly to the environment, the health of human beings would not be in danger and comfort would improve considerably since using the present invention together with the traditional roof system, the Interior would not be heated, but the hot air that enters would escape from the ventilation ridge constantly. In addition, the use and maintenance of air conditioning systems would decrease markedly, so less energy would be spent and (maintenance costs would be reduced considerably.

Among other advantages, it is also that the ridge with ventilation system, allows the humidity and hot air to leave the house or building for 24 hours, causing a dry and pleasant climate inside (to housing or building.

Furthermore the ridge with fan system "never cool the plenum at a temperature that is less than Ie external temperature _^ This is because e _l system is equipped d & ial form that protects the roof against the external radiation, Ia which is not necessary in hot areas. Brief description of the figures:

Figure 1-8 shows the ridge with ventilation system, Figure 2 indicates the ridge with ventilation system seen from the side where the windshields and ventilation holes can be observed, in Figure 3 the ridge which includes the water protectors is observed, Figure 4 shows the moisture protector, Figure 5 shows the assembly reinforcement, Figure 6 indicates the radiation shield, Figure 7 indicates the structure support and the figure 8 indicates βϊ wind shield.

Background and description of the invention:

The present invention has been designed for roofs cϊβϊ roof type or the like, (a figure number 1 represents the model of invention where figures 50 and 70 show the structure of the invention, figure 30 Ia ridge, figure 40 the protector of humidity that works between the ridge and the assembly reinforcement, Figure 50 functions as a structure where the different parts of the invention will be collected, (to figure 60 it works as an external radiation protector, the one that prevents the cooling of the house or building to a lower than the external temperature, Figure 70 shows the support of the structure that elevates it, allowing Figure 50 to rise above the roof, Figure 20 shows (a ridge with ventilation system where Figure 22 is located shows the ventilation holes and where they will be installed according to figure 80 of the wind protectors, the sheet has been designed so that the ventilation holes remain under the invented structure, and protected from rain and wind. In figure 80 the wind protectors are placed one over and the other forming a maze that dampens the impact of the wind and at the same time allowing the hot air inside the house or building to be emitted, and constantly come out, figure 90 shows the roof .

All of the above allows, in a suitable way, the entry and exit of the air through the ridge or ventilation system, which will be composed of parts already indicated, and that will allow the natural cooling of the area located in the roof or attic, achieving in this way, a decrease in the temperature within the structure, housing or building, with the advantage that it will be protected from rain and wind, as well as from radiation, and will also allow the free movement of wind, allowing the hot air that enters, goes out constantly.
