Windcatcher Natural Ventilation Systems
Monodraught Windcatcher systems encapsulate any prevailing wind and carry
that wind force down into the room below to provide a constant supply of
fresh air for natural ventilation. The system is divided internally into
four quadrants so that the leeward side of the system acts as a passive stack
for removing stale air from the building. Volume control dampers within the
system are programmed to control the correct rate of ventilation, according
to the building requirements. No matter which way the wind blows, one face
of the Windcatcher system that will always act as air intake. The Monodraught
Windcatcher systems eliminate the need for air conditioning during summer
months and provides all the benefits of free night cooling without compromising
the security of the building, since the dampers open fully at midnight to
allow the cool night air to purge the building of stale air and they
automatically close again at am.
SunCatcher Systems
The Monodraught SunCatcher system provides controlled natural ventilation
by utilising the Monodraught Windcatcher method and this is combined with
he Monodraught SunPipe natural daylight system. As with the Windcatcher
arrangement, the prevailing wind pressure carries a
continuous fresh air supply, through weather protected louvres, down into
the room below, slightly pressurising the internal space. Warm stale air
is expelled from the room by the principle of differential temperatures and
natural buoyancy of air movement on the opposite side or leeward side of
the system. The heart of this SunCatcher system is the mirror-finish
aluminium SunPipe tube which reflects and intensifies natural daylight down
into the room below producing the equivalence of up to 1200 Watts of natural
light.
SunPipe Systems
Monodraught SunPipes consist of silverised, mirror-finish aluminium tubes
tha tcarry sunlight down into the room below. There is virtually no limit
to the length of SunPipe or the number of bends that can be used and the
SunPipe system terminates in the patented Monodraught SunPipe Diamond dome,
which seals the pipe against the ingress of rain, dust or insects. A special
ceiling diffuser seals the bottom entry of the SunPipe at ceiling level creating
a long column of still air, which acts as an excellent insulator against
heat transfer. Accordingly, there is virtually no heat loss in winter months
nor solar gain during summer months. Monodraught manufacture a range of 10
different sizes from 230mm to 1500mm diameter and Monodraught’s Design
Team provides a full design service. A full installation service is also
provided across the UK.

Vertical Balanced Flues
The Monodraught Vertical Balanced Flue chimney systems offers a major step
forward to Architects and Designers in not only eliminating the appearance
of ugly flues and cowls above the roof line but also in providing the air
for combustion and ventilation to the boiler room to comply with BS6644.
This eliminates the need for separate high and low level louvres.
Designed on the same principle as a balanced-flue boiler, the Monodraught
system uses the boiler house as a balancing chamber. Up to eight boilers
can be used on one Monodraught system and the boiler room can be sited within
the roof space or internal part of the building without the need to provide
ducting or grills to the outside walls.
Special Shapes and Finishes
There is virtually no limit to the style and design of all the Monodraught
system range to complement any building design. The most popular shapes are
square, round, and rectangular, but oval or hexagonal shapes can be produced.
The standard material for Windcatchers is glass fibre but SunPipes are
manufactured in polycarbonate with vandal proof ABS flashings.
News
Monodraught are launching a wide range of solar driven products for 2006.
The Sola-wind is a combined system of a 1.5m dia 400W wind turbine integrated
with two 150W monocrystalline photovoltaic panels. The PowerTrack™ control
system has also been designed by Monodraught to overcome the problems associated
with low power conversion from photovoltaic panels.
