| Solving Damp in Narrowboats or Boats with solar dehumidifiers |
 |
|
 Narrowboats, barges and yachts all suffer from dampness, especially when over-wintering, and the unhealthy but natural results of having a damp atmosphere such as decay, mildew, rust, fungal spores, coldness and unpleasant smells.
The smaller SolarVenti dehumidifier units (SV2 and SV3) are particularly suitable for narrowboats and cruisers whether or not you live on board. They provide an ideal carbon neutral answer to damp mould and condensation problems by displacing the damp air with air warmed by the sun and powerfully drying the living quarters every time the sun shines. Accordingly, the atmosphere and quality of life on board your narrowboat is greatly improved. This also extends the life of any yacht, boat or narrowboat as a result of regularly refreshing the air whenever the sun is shining and displacing remaining traces of the atmospheric damp that encourages the decay processes. With narrowboats costing up to £60,000 and more, a relatively small investment in a SolarVenti dehumidifier that significantly prevents overwintering decay and extends the life of your narrowboat will be repaid many times over. Just having a narrowboat that is always pleasant to return to makes the SolarVenti dehumidifier well worth it's cost. How many times do you want to thoroughly clean the boat and throw away stale bedding, curtains and smelly cushions?
Remember, a SolarVenti dehumidifier has ZERO running costs and because it needs no power supply connection it cannot have the power supply tripped or the bucket fill up or the heat exchanger burn out.
The picture above shows an SV2 SolarVenti dehumidifier panel mounted on narrowboat 'Pukeko' at it's winter mooring. The mounting is designed to permit a SolarVenti dehumidifier to be simply fitted onto a standard 100mm narrowboat mushroom vent. They can be folded flat onto the roof of your narrowboat when cruising. Specially engineered 'mushroom-vent' mountings are now available directly from SolarVenti - they are provided with all fittings (except bolts for the actual mushroom vent, as these vary in size) and a cover for when folded flat and not in use.
The smallest SolarVenti dehumidifier will push a minimum of 20M³ per hour of dry, warmed air into your narrowboat each time the sun shines on it. You need never come back to a damp smelly boat ever again.
How effectively does a SolarVenti dehumidifier work on a narrowboat? Well, see just what one of the first UK users with a narrowboat had to say here on their letter of thanks.

There are six products in the SolarVenti range. Under ideal sunny conditions the smallest unit, the SV2 has a minimum airflow of 20m³/Hour whilst the largest, the SV30 unit has a minimum airflow of 120m³/Hour.
The most recent product is the SV30AWX, a hybrid version of the SV30 which additionally provides Solar Water Heating.
Coming in early 2013 will be the SV20: a product designed to fill in the gap between the SV14 and SV30 models. |
