WINDCATCHER X-Air embodies more than thirty five years experience and the results of four years intensive research and development. Bristling with innovation and a number of patented technologies, WINDCATCHER X-Air has been designed, value-engineered and manufactured to meet the needs of the building services industry today, and far into the future.
Moulded in recyclable materials with excellent structural and UV stability, WINDCATCHER X-Air’s defining features include distinctive styling and patented LED architectural lighting. The patented ‘X factor’ corner design increases performance but also allows excess wind to bypass the system, reducing loading on the unit in high winds. And each patented corner fin accommodates a unique architectural lighting feature, which allows a range of optional colour preferences to be specified. This gives WINDCATCHER X-Air a unique presence on the roof of a building – day and night – and allows architects and design & build contractors to create distinctive building profiles that have the potential to become attractive features of the modern urban landscape.
Complementing its distinctive design are a number of innovative features that enable WINDCATCHER X-Air to deliver significantly improved performance and create a new standard in natural ventilation systems. These include: ACTIVLOUVRE® modulating aerofoil technology featuring specially designed louvre blades that combine to minimise resistance and maximise airflow; and an internal system that provides significantly smoother internal airflow.
Commenting on the new addition, Monodraught managing director Tony Cull says aerodynamic principles have been applied to every phase of WINDCATCHER X-Air’s development.
“Its design and performance has been wind-tunnel tested and thorough CFD analysis has also been carried out by the Universities of Nottingham and Reading.” He says, adding: “WINDCATCHER X-Air introduces a lower-cost, technologically advanced system to a natural ventilation portfolio that includes our current WINDCATCHER Classic system and the WINDCATCHER Heritage range.”
