General
information about the size and position of the
building
 |
How big is the holiday cottage, cellar,
garage, annex or…? It is better to
overestimate the size of the system
rather than select a model which is a
little too small. |
|
|
|
|
|
Does the building have a side, or a roof
surface, which faces the sun
(south-facing in Denmark) but has a
limited amount of shade - or no shade at
all - from trees or neighboring
houses? Remember that the height of the
sun in the sky changes with the
seasons. In Denmark, the sun is at 12
degrees centigrade in January and casts very long
shadows. |
| |
|
|
|
SolarVenti can be directed at the sun
(south in Denmark) from just about any
roof surface – even if the surface
itself does not face the sun. See
installation examples. |

|
|
|
Can air circulate freely through the
rooms you want to dehumidify? The
principle is simple: Warm and dry air is
injected into the building through the
inlet duct at one end of the house.
There must be a corresponding exhaust
duct (ventilation hole) at the other end
of the room – or rooms – to be
dehumidified. |
| |
|
|
|
If the SolarVenti is used to dehumidify
several storys of a building, the
exhaust duct must be on the bottom floor
and the inlet duct on the top floor. In
the case of buildings with many storys,
or large houses, a booster fan (solar
powered) is often used to ensure that
air from the SolarVenti flows correctly
through the house.

Information about the regulator, on/off switch
and thermostat:
|
|
All systems are supplied with a on/off switch function so that air injection can be
switched off completely. |
| |
|
|
|
In the case of the SV7 and all larger
models, it is necessary to select either a
on/off switch function or an SV regulator
unit. If you select the regulator you can set
the speed of the fan as required. Low speeds
result in a very low noise level and the
temperature of the injected air will be higher. |
| |
|
|
|
The SV regulator unit also has a thermostat. The
room thermostat can, e.g., be set to switch off
the injection of warm air if the temperature in
the room in which the thermostat has been
installed exceeds 27 degrees centigrade. The SV regulator
unit can also be used to control an extra fan
which can, for example, be mounted on the north
side of the house. This will automatically blow
cool air into the house when the SV regulator
unit’s thermostat switches off the injection of
warm air from the solar air collector.
|
Mounting SolarVenti on a wall:
|
|
The SV3 has the capacity to blow air 2
meters. Therefore, in the case of the SV3, best
results will be achieved if the air injection
pipe is shorter than 2 m. In the case of the SV7
and the SV14, the air injection pipe should be
shorter than 3.5 meters and, in the case of the
SV30, the pipe should be shorter than 5 meters. |
| |
|
|
|
All models can be mounted horizontally
on the side of a building or stand up like a
door or a window. It does not matter whether the
air injection blower is at the top or the bottom. |
| |
|
|
|
The SolarVenti should face the sun
(south in Denmark) if at all possible – even if
it is mounted on a wall. If the wall on which
you wish to mount the solar panel does not
directly face the sun, you could consider
tilting the panel so that it faces the sun. |
| |
|
|
|
Consider the position of the SolarVenti
solar air collector carefully and mount it so
that it harmonizes with the appearance of the
existing doors and windows etc. |
