The SolarVenti system
is a
patented and unique Danish
manufactured solar powered
ventilation system utilising solar
energy to produce fresh warm air
through a solar powered integrated
fan unit. The fan draws in fresh
air and circulates it around the
panel, thus heating the air and
then blowing it into the area to be
ventilated. This procedure occurs
constantly whilst the panel is
exposed to direct sunlight and
therefore the ventilation effect
over time is very significant. As
the system is totally solar
powered, it requires no connection
to any services and therefore is
completely free of running service
or costs.
There are five panel sizes
currently available in the range
dependant an the area to be
ventilated with significant air
flow capacity of 20 - 150 cu.meters
per hour.
Installation of the SolarVenti
Panel is extremely simple. Normally
the panels are mounted on an
external wall with a South - South
East or South - South West
orientation and all that is
required is the creation of a 100 -
120 mm hole through which the air
from the panel to the internal
space passes. No further
connections are required (e.g.
water, electricity etc.). It must
be remembered to position the panel
where it gets maximum sunlight.
Where is Solar venti most useful?
Where fresh air is most needed. In all sorts of rooms buildings
and houses that stand unoccupied for long periods. Garages, cellars,
attics etc may also benefit from solar powered dehumidification and heating.
Prevents stored materials from going mouldy or rusty.
This system runs for many years without maintenance or further costs.
The SolarVenti Hybrid
is new to the market and is the Hybrid
version of the SolarVenti which is
a dual purpose system and again
requires no pump or electrical
connection.
The air based part of
the system operates as the normal
SolarVenti, ventilating the area by
means of blowing warm air into the
area, whilst the fluid based part
of the system will heat domestic
water by circulating liquid in the
panel through a heat exchanger
which is placed on the water supply
to the cylinder without ease of a
pump.
The Hybrid SolarVenti system
therefore may be fully utilised
throughout the year offering
ventilation system in the winter
and a water heating system in
summer.
Cost and availability
There are five panels in the range and are costed at
approx €450 - €1400.00 per panel.
The units are availible in Ireland through Imegen Ltd.
