ventilators are designed to clear smoke and gas, volatile or otherwise, by their blowing (or
positive power) action, in all types of premises where an exit has been prepared. They are
designed to be used between 6 to 20 feet away from the opening concerned.

should be the same size as the entry opening: the ideal would be double the size.
