INTRO
Optimal airflow: In a leaky building there is no need for an exhaust/pressure valve.
However, a valve for air outlet should be installed in a very tight building.
possible inject the air into the driest room and extract from the most humid room to
eliminate the risk of leading the moisture through the rest of the building.
Self‐Cleaning principle: Self‐cleaning of the felt is started by turning off the system
in bright sunlight at least once a year. The temperature in the solar air collector will
now rise to a point where organic dust particles stuck in felt dry out. After a few
hours the felt will be clean and the solar air collector can be used again.
TOOLS
The hole: Drilling through a wall can be challenging and the tools needed to make
the hole will depend on the material of the wall. Contact your local SolarVenti
installer for further advice regarding the drilling and the installation.
Take care not to drill into cables, power sockets, etc. The optimal diameter of the
hole is Ø133 mm on the inside and Ø140 mm on the outside. However, it is possible
to use a diameter of Ø135 mm both inside and outside.

Cable: The cable of the Solar Air Collector may either go through the hole of the air
inlet – as shown above – or a separate 6‐8 mm hole may be drilled in the position
desired.

Stands: Drill two holes in each rack and mount them to the wall with suitable
screws.

The plastic strips (Jv) are to be tightened around the flexible hose (Iv) approximately
in the middle of the armaflex fitting (Dv).

"COOLING" is used to blow external non‐preheated air into the building and
"EXTRACTION" helps the airflow of the SV‐system.
