Summary

In order to respond the suggestions made in the previous works, such as 1) improving the design of the rooftop ventilator commonly used in Taiwan; 2) making the "push-pull" airflow model in the ventilation duct effective for the bathroom ventilation; and 3) combining the energy demands of the ventilator with renewable energy to reduce energy consumption, this study develops a prototype of the rooftop turbine ventilator powered by hybrid wind and photovoltaic energy. A low-speed wind tunnel experiment is performed to investigate the prototype's ventilation performance. The experimental results indicate installing an inner fan at low outdoor wind speed (0-5 m/s) increases the ventilation rate. The ventilation rate was not improved by installing an inner fan at a high outdoor wind speed. A rated rotation speed close to 1500 rpm is highly recommended when installing the inner fan.
