Description: Thermosiphon
solar collectors provides mains pressure pre-heating via a high efficiency copper coil heat exchanger located within the
solar collector
tank.The way in which the Mains Pressure
solar collector heats
water is the same as the Non pressure
solar collector..Rather than using the
water in the
tank directly,as the Non pressure does,the type uses a 4560 copper coil
heat exchanger inside the
tank which provides more than 1.2m2 of heat transfer area.When
water flows though the coil it absorbs heat from the
water inside the
solar collector
tank.The
solar collector
tank is therefore a thermal store.One advantage of this system is that almost no
water is introduced into the
tank(apart from occasional topping up),so corrosion and
scale buildup are almost totally eliminated.Tanks are designed for low to medium pressure applications using a gravity feed
tank or pressure reduction
valve.Direct connection to mains pressure
water supply is not permitted.Please check your local building/plumbing regulations regarding the installation of
water tanks.
