Venting Your Truck Improves Your Driver Focus and Reduces Noise Pollution

Posted by Admin
Venting your truck's windows reduces distracting wind noise and helps regulate interior cabin temperature. It also reduces glare from sun or rain, and aids in fogging.
Ventilation
Many food Truck Vent owners struggle with ventilation issues that can result in fumes, smoke, heat, and other safety concerns. The health of your employees and the long term success of your business depend on quality air in your work vehicle.
Ventilation systems originally included with some long life vehicles (LLV's) such as those used by the United States Postal Service draw in ambient air adjacent to the hot engine and transfer it to the confines of a passenger, or driver, compartment. This transfer results in preheated air and is inefficient because it requires the use of expensive air conditioning to cool the interior of the vehicle.
The present invention utilizes a rear vent currently existing on many LLV's to provide cooler air to the passenger compartment P by securing an adapter over the existing rear vent and using the adapter to feed a squirrel cage fan or other air pump. The cooler air is then ducted into the passenger compartment P via a duct that passes through an interior bulkhead. Adjustable louvers and grills allow gross and fine redirection of the outflowing air from the vent assembly.
Cooling
Venting your truck helps to keep cab air cool, reduces distracting noise from buffeting winds and improves driver visibility. It also keeps humidity down and aids in climate control. Vents in the ceiling also recirculate air reducing the need for the air conditioner to work as hard.
Having the right ventilation is also important when driving on the highway. Adding truck roof vents can help you maintain optimal airflow even when cruising at high speeds. They can suck out hot, smelly or humid air and then reheat, re-cool and push fresh air back into your cab.
Window shades are an easy, economical and effective way to vent your truck cab. They keep the wind and rain out while letting you crack your windows for extra cooling on those hot, smoggy days. They come in two mount styles: Outside Mount that installs on the door frame and In-Channel mount that attaches within the window channel for a smooth, seamless appearance.
Noise Reduction
Noise pollution in your truck can lead to a loss of driver focus and increase fatigue. Often, this noise is due to jarring impact sounds, like those from the wheels and tires of your truck. To reduce these sounds, consider replacing your tires with quieter ones.
