Abstract
An exhaust system that utilizes high volume, low speed (HVLS) fans for exhausting air from data storage facilities (e.g., data centers) is disclosed. The exhaust system includes modular exhaust devices that may be positioned on curb structures on a roof of the facility. The modular exhaust devices are positioned vertically above the HVLS fans with openings in the roof vertically between the fans and the devices. The modular exhaust devices include a v-shaped conduit to direct air to openings on either side of the v-shaped conduit. Butterfly dampers may be placed on the openings in the modular exhaust devices to inhibit rain from entering the facility when the fans are off or at low speeds that don't prevent rain from entering the facility.
