Abstract
A ventilation system utilizing fans to bring air into a building and/or exhaust air out of the building powered at least in part by solar panels that can be quickly and easily mounted on the building, such as on roof vents, windows, and the like adjacent to the fans. A sensor may be operatively connected to a controller or logic circuit to measure environmental factors to determine whether to activate the fans. The ventilation system is configured to be a modular device with versatile fasteners for easy installment in windows, attics, or roof tops.
Claims20
A ventilation system for attaching to a vent of a building, comprising:
- a. a portable and attachably detachable fan attachable to an interior of a building in close proximity to the vent;
- b. a compact power source comprising a solar panel, wherein the solar panel is sized and operable to sufficiently supply power to the fan, wherein the solar panel is exteriorly attached to the building in proximity to the vent and positioned proximate to the fan and operatively connected to the fan by an electrical line through the vent;
- c. a controller operatively and electrically connected between the solar panel and the fan to control activation and deactivation of the fan depending open a temperature determination;
- and
- d. a first temperature sensor operatively and electronically associated with the controller to sense the temperature and activate or deactivate the fan in association with predetermined temperature parameters in the controller.
A retrofitable ventilation kit for an existing roof vent of a building, comprising:
- a. a fan;
- and
- b. a power source operatively connected to the fan, the power source comprising a solar panel operatively connected to a controller to control activation and deactivation of the fan, wherein the solar panel comprises a fastener to fasten the solar panel to the exterior of the building in proximity to the fan to be powered, and wherein the fan and the power source are electrically connected by a cord that runs through the existing roof vent.
A ventilation system for ventilating air through an existing vent within a building, comprising:
- a. a fan;
- b. a solar panel operatively connected and sized to provide sufficient power to the fan via an electrical line through the existing vent, the solar panel attachable to the building with a quick application fastener;
- and
- c. a temperature-sensitive controller unit operatively connected to the fan to control activation and deactivation of the fan depending on the temperature sensed.
