Product catalog summary
Overview: The Monodraught WINDCATCHER X-Air is an advanced natural ventilation system that builds on the success of previous WINDCATCHER models. It integrates solar-powered architectural lighting and advanced louvre technology for enhanced performance and weather protection.
Key Features:
  • Solar-Powered Lighting: Incorporates a 10W photovoltaic panel that charges an internal Lithium ION battery, providing automatic lighting in low light conditions.
  • ACTIVLOUVRE Technology: Features modulating aerofoil louvres for ventilation control and weather protection, with the ability to fully close to prevent snow ingress.
  • Aerodynamic Design: Utilizes computer-generated designs and CFD techniques to maximize ventilation efficiency.
  • External Air Catchment Fins: Enhances airflow by increasing pressure differentials across the system.
  • Composite Insulated Upstand: Allows for rapid installation and maintains an airtight seal, suitable for roofs with up to a 35° pitch.
Specifications:
  • Manufacturer: Monodraught Ltd, High Wycombe, Bucks.
  • Louvres: ACTIVLOUVRE system with mechanical flow control and weather protection.
  • Internal Airways: Equipped with turning vanes to reduce turbulence.
  • Volume Control Dampers: 24 Volt modulating dampers for precise air control.
  • CE Marking: Complies with EU Directives and Harmonized Standards.
Additional Information: The system is available in three colors and is made from fully recyclable materials. Detailed sizing calculations are provided for specific applications.

External Air Catchment Fins Patent No. 1012116.8 Swept Divider Patent No.1012115.0 The External Air Catchment Fins are located on each corner of the WINDCATCHER X-Air and comprises of a tear drop profile light tube and a pressure release fin. At low wind speeds, the fins are used to increase the area across the face of the system. This increases the positive and negative pressure on the windward and leeward faces respectively, and increases the total rate of air flow through the system. When wind speed is high the rubber fin flexes, helping to relieve excessive wind loading. Monodraught WINDCATCHER...
