Installation of Exhaust Fans in Container Houses

Admin September 17, 2026

The installation of exhaust fans in container houses requires selecting the appropriate method based on the type of house. The installation steps for ordinary container houses and integrated ceiling houses differ, as detailed below:

Installation of Exhaust Fans in Ordinary Container Houses

  1. Fan Selection
    Choose the appropriate model based on the room size, typically recommending 1-5 fans per square meter. Key considerations include noise level (to avoid affecting living experience), air volume (to ensure ventilation efficiency), and durability (to adapt to potentially harsh environments in container houses, such as high temperatures and humidity).

  2. Determine Installation Location

  • Height: Preferably install at the highest point in the room to utilize the principle of hot air rising and improve exhaust efficiency.
  • Interference Avoidance: Avoid overlapping with lighting fixtures to prevent obstruction of nighttime lighting; also choose a location that is not easily bumped to ensure safety.
  • Obstacle Check: Before installation, use a flashlight to inspect the predetermined location to confirm there are no obstacles such as wires or pipes, to avoid damaging lines or structures during installation.
  1. Detailed Installation Steps
  • Bracket and Fan Opening Fixation: Select an appropriate installation bracket based on the fan opening size, securely install the bracket, and then fix the fan opening to ensure structural stability.
  • Fan Fixation: Gently insert the exhaust fan into the fan opening and tighten it with screws to prevent loosening during operation.
  • Wire Connection: Ensure a firm connection when connecting wires to avoid safety hazards caused by poor contact.
  • Power-On Test: After installation, power on to check if the exhaust fan operates normally and confirm there is no loosening or abnormal noise.

Installation of Exhaust Fans in Integrated Ceiling Houses

  1. Support Screw Installation
    Select two opposite sides based on the orientation of the ceiling joists, install support screws, and individually fix four screws to ensure the stability of the unit.

  2. Wire Connection

  • Sensor Head Wiring: The connector plug for the human body sensor head on the back of the panel needs to be connected to the internal plug of the unit. When wiring, connect the blue wire to the neutral wire and the brown wire to the live wire to avoid short circuits or equipment damage.
  • Ventilation Duct Fixation: Use straps to secure the ventilation opening to ensure a tight connection between the duct and the unit and prevent air leakage.
  1. Unit and Panel Installation
  • Unit Placement: Place the unit on the joist frame and connect the sensor connector between the panel and the unit.
  • Panel Fixation: After installing the panel, the product will display blue light when it senses a human body upon startup and green light when no one is present, with a delay time of 10 minutes.

Installation of Ventilation Fans in Integrated Ceilings

  1. Reserved Opening
    After installing the aluminum ceiling tiles, reserve a 30*30 cm opening to provide installation space for the ventilation fan housing.

  2. Housing Fixation
    Place the ventilation fan housing on top of the joists and secure it to the integrated ceiling joists with clips to ensure the housing is stable and does not wobble.

  3. Panel Installation
    Hold the clips on the back of the panel, align them with the housing slots, and press the panel against the four edges of the ceiling tiles to the same plane to complete the overall installation.
