  • Fan assembly for exhausting matter from storage containers
    Patent number: 10433490

The fan assembly includes an exhaust fan, a mounting assembly for operatively mounting the exhaust fan to the existing fan of the storage container, and a sealing member operatively positioned between the exhaust fan and the existing fan to provide a seal to direct movement of air streams created, in part, by the exhaust fan. During operation of the exhaust fan, the exhaust fan pulls contaminated air and airborne matter from within the storage container through the existing fan and an existing duct in order to exhaust the contaminated air and airborne matter from the storage container.
