Chimney Ventilation and Inlet Ventilation

Natural Chimney and Inlet Ventilation
At the heart of every efficient ventilation system is a well designed chimney or inlet. AP chimneys and inlets are engineered for energy savings, low maintenance, and lasting durability.

Actuated and Non-Actuated Inlets
AP offers several actuated and non-actuated inlets in both ceiling and wall mounted styles to fit your
particular air flow requirements.

Baffle Systems
AP’s counterweighted baffle and Adjust-A-Baffle™  system are designed with unique advantages for successfully directing airflow and   ideal for use in pre-heated hallways and other custom applications.

* Based on a six site evaluation in Iowa, from October 2010 thru April 2011, an average 21.76% propane savings were realized with the use of AP’s actuated inlets versus counterweighted. (ACI-4000P2 vs. I-2000)

Our natural chimney vent features durable UV resistant laminated panels and chimney cap. These units are quick and easy to install with a damper hardware kit included with each chimney.

Actuated ceiling inlets are available in a 2500 to 4000 CFM bi-directional or 2500 CFM uni-directional model. These inlets are available in both stainless steel or plastic housings.

Actuated PVC Wall Inlets
• Adapt to many installation configurations
• Pressure washer friendly

• Low maintenance with high dependability

• Easy installation

• Inlet is an extruded PVC panel made for strength and durability

• Delivers precise air speeds to enhance room air quality without chilling the pigs

• When connected to the Expert control system, ventilation rates adjust to the ventilation stage and temperature requirements of the room or barn

Non-Actuated Ceiling and Wall Inlets
• Opens automatically based off negative static pressure supplied by the exhaust fans
• Available in bi-fold or four sided models for ceiling inlets
• Available in top hinged counter balanced model for wall inlets
• Plastic and aluminum housing and doors for corrosion resistant life span
• Hardware package & insulation stop with every inlet
• Pressure washer friendly

PVC wall inlets are field cut to length on site allowing your system to be customized for a perfect fit every time. Panel dimensions are 1.5” thick x 30” tall x 24’ long.

The counterweighted baffle system allows the 12” baffle to become
automatic without the use of mechanical static pressure control.

Bi-flow ceiling inlets come in two sizes; 1000 CFM and 2700 CFM.
