Three simple steps:

1. Choose the spot:

There are no particular design requirements for positioning the Heat‑Harvester™ but clearly, the highest positions of the underside of roof should be chosen for maximum effect. Spacing should be 8m – 10m depending on bay size. Monodraught Engineers will identify the difference in temperature between floor level and the underside of roof level. This difference in temperature in most buildings is likely to be between 4°C – 5°C but this will depend on the building itself. Older buildings, by their construction, may have a higher degree of building leakage and so, will actually lose that heat to atmosphere, so the difference in temperature between floor and ceiling may not be so obvious.

2. Hang it up

No special fi xings are required for the Heat‑Harvester™ nor indeed is any special engineering required. The Heat‑Harvester™ is suitable for both new and refurbished Projects, since no builders work is involved. The adjustable suspension arm can be used, so that the Heat‑Harvester™ can be aimed to push hot air from the highest spot in the building down to perhaps entrance door level, so as to create a‘warm air curtain’. If the suspended ceiling Model is selected, as shown overleaf, just a 600mm x 600mm ceiling tile is removed.

3. Plug it in

That’s all there is to it! The electrical connections are simple and it would be normal to run an electrical conduit to the connection point of the Heat‑Harvester™. A normal fused spur should be provided at low level but the power consumed is so small, no particular electrical precautions are required. Once in operation, the Heat‑Harvester™ can run 24/7.
