Sports & Recreation

Solar air systems are an excellent solution for sports halls and indoor swimming pools, where there are specific challenges related to heating, ventilation, and humidity control.

🔍 Problem

Huge air volumes in sports halls that are very difficult and expensive to heat with conventional systems

High humidity levels in indoor swimming pools, causing condensation and structural damage
Risk of mold growth and poor indoor air quality
High costs for maintaining optimal climate conditions in large facilities

✅ Solution

Solar air systems – an energy-efficient solution that uses free solar energy (through the available south-facing façade of buildings) for supplementary heating, continuous ventilation, and moisture removal.

⚙️ Applications in sports and recreational facilities

Sports halls (Heating):
Preheats fresh air. Since a temperature of around 15°C is sufficient for training sessions and competitions, the system easily provides comfortable conditions without the need for expensive full heating.

Sports halls (Ventilation/Cooling):
During the summer period, the system operates in ventilation and partial cooling mode – supplying fresh outdoor air while removing stale and overheated indoor air.

Indoor swimming pools:
Provides a continuous supply of dry, heated, and filtered air, which is essential for reducing relative humidity and protecting the building from condensation.

📊 Results

Significantly reduced heating costs
A permanent solution to condensation and mold problems
Possibility of 100% free operation without electricity (using a PV panel to power the fan)
Simple façade installation and very low maintenance costs
Long-term improvement of air hygiene and conditions for athletes and recreational users

Key Benefits

☀️ 100% Free Solar Energy 💨 Provides Warm and Dry Air 💧 Prevents Dampness and Mold Growth

How the system works

🌀 Cold air intake “Air from the room is drawn into the collector.” 🔆 Absorber “Solar energy is converted into heat and warms the air.” 💨 Warm air outlet “Filtered and heated air is returned back into the room.”

Aplication

🏀 Sports halls and fitness centers “Natural supplementary heating and a continuous supply of clean air for athletes.” 🏊 Indoor swimming pools “Efficient moisture removal and prevention of harmful condensation.”
🚿 Changing rooms and shower facilities “Fast drying of spaces and permanent elimination of mold and unpleasant odors.” 🏸 Sports equipment storage rooms “Safe storage of equipment by maintaining a dry microclimate.”
