Solar Ventilation

Introduction to the Project System Application Operation Economics Balance-of-System Equipment How The Systems Were Sized What Else Has Been Considered?
Introduction to the Project This particular application is designed to remove hot air from the top of the main lounge in a new building in Portugal. This is a two storey room with balconey. The entire south facing wall is glazed with a triple glazing system - the outside layer is self cleaning glass, the middle layer is heat refective glass and the third layer is tinted glass. The ventilation system is designed to create a flow of air in the room when the sun is shining.  Top
PV System Application Photovoltaic Solar Module    Monocristaline Power - 40 W Nominal Tension - 12 V  Maximum Tension Open Circuit Nominal Shackle short circuit Dimensions PE (kg) - 2,5 kg  Regulator 5A   Fan Manufacturer - Redline.  Type - Universal Pull Type Size - 200mm Voltage: 12DC  Fuse: 10A      Battery  None Top
Operation All electricity generated is used to run the fan. Operation is fully automatic. When the PV panel generates sufficient power the fan operates Top
Economics Payback for each system is estimated is not calculated.
Balance-of-System Equipment Not connected to the electrical distribution system Top
How the Systems Were Sized The system was sized based on the power consumption of the 200mm fan.  Top
What Else Has Been Considered? No PV system is maintenance-free. Scheduled inspections of the systems will be made to ensure that the wiring and contacts are free from corrosion, the modules are clear of debris, and the mounting equipment has tight fasteners. Monitoring of the power output of the PV module will be carried out to track the system’s performance to help deter-mine whether the system is operating.
