Windvent VL » How It Works »

The natural ventilation section of the Windvent VL terminal operates on well-established aerodynamic principals: air flowing around the terminal generates positive and negative pressure areas. On the positive side, air entering the louvres is directed downwards into the room below. On the negative side, air is induced to leave and stale air (with high CO² content) from the room below rises and is expelled. This process is aided by the stack effect: cool air entering the windward side of the unit descends into the room below and warm, stale air rises into the ducts facing the leeward side where it is expelled.

The integral Litepipe system captures and then amplifies natural light via its proven silverised aluminium core ducts and transmits this light into the space below via a special internal ceiling diffuser, similar in appearance to a standard, dome-shaped electrical light fitting.

However, what really makes the Windvent VL special is the cutting-edge design technology employed. The blades of our ventilation unit are angled at an optimum degree, significantly increasing air-flow into and out of the system and hence maximising efficiency while the integral Litepipe has been certified as a leader in its class.
