Abstract

An air ventilating system for use to ventilate and dehydrate and dehumidify the insulation immediately under the roof structure. The system includes an air intake member, to draw in relatively dry air, generally located above the roof surface, and a central distribution member, in the form of a plenum, disposed above or below the roof structure, and a plurality of radiating pipes that lead from the distribution plenum member, and which are located above, below or at the same level as the insulation layer under the roof structure, with such distribution pipes having a plurality of small openings therein to disperse air to the surrounding insulation layers for purposes of aerating same to remove moisture from the insulation. The system includes a humidity and temperature sensing device to detect the relative moisture content and temperature levels of the air both within and external to the roof infrastructure, with automatic sensing means to turn on or off the dehumidifying system at intervals dependent on predetermined temperature levels and humidity levels both within and outside the building.
