Abstract (en)

A ventilation system (1) for road tunnels, which comprises at least one fan (90) and a power supply and actuation apparatus (10) which is connected to an electric power supply line (41) and supplies electric power to the fan (90), wherein the power supply and actuation apparatus (10) comprises an electronic control system configured to control the speed and the direction of rotation of the fan (90) and comprises an electrical conversion device (30) interposed between the power supply line (41) and the fan (90); andfurther comprising at least one temperature detection device; the power supply and actuation apparatus (10) comprises a motorized switching unit (20) which is configured to change, as a function of the temperature detected by the temperature detection device, the configuration of the power supply and actuation apparatus (10) from an ordinary configuration, in which the power supply and actuation apparatus (10) powers the fan (90) by means of the electrical conversion device (30), to an emergency configuration, in which the motorized switching unit (20) isolates the electrical conversion device (30), creating an electrical bypass so as to power the fan (90) directly from the electrical line (41), the electrical bypass being thermally isolated, and vice versa.
