TC1000
The TC1000 was designed specifically to exhaust the heat from sunrooms and solariums. Although it has done other jobs over the years, sunrooms are the heart of its applications. The TC1000 was preceded by the TC200 back in the mid 1980's. Over the years, thousands of these fans have been installed in sunrooms and solariums across the country and around the world. There are TC1000's in solariums in Hong Kong and Mexico and Russia and Switzerland and all over the U.S.A.
The TC1000, the only American made ventilation system designed for sunspaces, is designed for clean, simple, standardized installation. It is engineered to slip into all of the major sunspace manufacturers glazing systems. The remarkably versatile TC1000 will also fit in flat roof, solid roof and sidewall applications.
When the TC1000 is turned on, the lifting motor pushes the unique, internal, insulated damper up out of the way, and two super quiet fans begin positively venting the space. The fan features a motorized and insulated closure system which pulls down tightly over the fan openings when it is turned off, preventing cold air, rain, snow and insects from entering. A positive seal of 1/2 inch of foam covers the fan openings, blocking drafts and preventing heat loss. The positive, powered ventilation moves up to 800 cubic feet of air per minute. The internal thermostat, factory set to approximately 90ºF, allows for automatic, high/low speed control. When the temperature in the room rises to this point, the fans will automatically shift speed from low to high.
No other fan system gives you as tight a seal, as much insulation and as much control as the TC1000!
Comfort is our concern. All to often people see a glorious sunroom in a home and garden magazine and just want it without thinking about how difficult it is to keep these spaces comfortable. They forget that these rooms were initially designed as "Florida Rooms" or "Hot Houses" where overheating during the day and freezing during the night was the accepted norm. Systems have come a very long way in the past 25 years. Glass and glazing systems have become much more sophisticated since the single-glazed, lapped glass rooms of the first half of last century. But a room that is primarily made of glass is still going to have much greater temperature swings than a similar room made with insulated walls and ceiling. Sunrooms are designed to get hot from the sun, accepting the sun's energy and converting it to heat. In winter, in a northern climate, this solar gain makes the room more comfortable. But that same room can become intolerable in the summer. Good design can minimize the negative solar impact.
