Sunwell - unique technology takes the natural light into the darkened room

This unique technology is embedded in the roof or in the facade of the building system of one or more hermetically sealed hollow tubular fibers with internal reflection coefficient of more than 99, 5%. High efficiency allows installation practically without losses and in all kinds of weather to deliver natural light into the darkened room, including rooms without windows. A natural light, as is known, no adverse effects on human vision as opposed to artificial lighting.




The modern history of the development of lighting systems with hollow shaft assembly takes its countdown from the beginning of the 90s. last century. They were first used in Australia, and then in the United States and Canada. The most widespread, this technology has received in recent years in connection with the organization of serial production in Europe. One of the most well-known European brands Sunwell - Solarpot - made in Italy

. The main components of the system: a transparent dome, built in the dome system svetoperehvata reflective optical device that changes the direction of the luminous flux, roofing adapter ensures tightness of the roof, the light guide and the diffuser (diffuser) - the final link in the system

. The combination of the dome, the device that changes the direction of light, and a reflective inner surface of the fiber creates a kind of "optical funnel". Light passing through the transparent dome is reflected from the fiber walls, passes through the tubular light guide until it reaches the diffuser, the number of reflections is reduced by the most favorable angle generated reflective device.



The light enters the light from all directions and is captured even with the lowest angle of the horizon. By passing the fiber light losses are very small - less than 7.8%. It is important to note that the light is transmitted in all weather conditions, from dawn to dusk. The only limitation of its use -. The dark

But even with this apparent limitation of the use of solar wells can reduce the energy consumption of buildings in the coverage to 40%.

Installation is simple system, but it must be carried out by specialists. The dome is mounted on the roof using roofing adapter - a special device in the form of a cup, integrating it into the components of the roof and prevents moisture from entering the premises. The length of the tubular fiber may vary from one to several meters, which allows the system to set not only in areas directly under the roof and the lower floors of the building. The diameter of the fibers very varied: from 250 mm - for premises up to 900 mm - for offices and warehouses

. It is also important to note the simplicity of operation of the system: it has simply nothing to break, and it does not require any energy.
