Eldridge Storm Guard Hood - Ventilation Fans
Rainwater and overspray have long been a safety concern for offshore equipment operation and personal safety for workers. We offer solutions to prevent entrainment of water through the machinery space ventilation fans on your offshore vessels!
Past technology meant using large mushroom hoods to keep water away from ventilation machinery spaces. These huge marine ventilation hoods took up precious space on mobile offshore drilling units (MODU), leaving much to be desired.
Instead, the Eldridge Storm Guard Hood offers solutions that outshine all other storm guards! The Eldridge Storm Guard Hood keeps out more water while utilizing less space!
How does this innovative technology work?
Our expert engineers designed the Storm Guard Hood by using our high-performance vertical storm louvers. Spaced tightly together for ultimate protection, these louvers keep out water and overspray while taking up significantly less space. Storm Guard Hoods from Eldridge are smaller and slightly taller than old mushroom hoods to maximize space and efficiency.
The Eldridge Storm Guard Hood is extra efficient and effective for your applications. In fact, it boasts 99.9% efficiency from 40 to 4,000 FPM through the free area. It’s also 99.7% effective at removing fog particles down to 20 microns in size.

MODU & Offshore Ventilation Systems
Designed for MODU and other offshore vessels, the Eldridge Storm Guard Hood is constructed of 0.125” extruded aluminum and treated with a one-hour clear anodized finish, so it’s able to stand up to harsh environments and salt corrosion from seawater. In addition, it’s all seal-welded so it’s watertight for your applications.
Our design team has created the most effective and durable ventilation hoods for offshore applications with the Storm Guard Hood. We’re positive you’ll be impressed with the results.
These integral components of your offshore ventilation systems can also be customized to fit your needs. For example, optional features include a vent cover which can either be manual or motor driven. We can also help with noise control on industrial ventilation systems by including acoustical lining in the hood.
Eldridge Storm Guard Hoods are used throughout industrial ventilation systems, from MODU applications to drilling motors such as the GE 752 High Torque Motor. They provide the protection you need for safe operations on offshore vessels and beyond.
