storage tank is made from Stainless steel 316 sheet
(marine grade steel)/copper sheet to the tank corrosion and for long
lasting services.
2
Weather tight Construction of corrosion resistant
aluminum extruded sections of 16 swg thickness duly anodized
3
Single pane 4.0 mm thick low iron toughened glass
rupture resistance and having over 85% transmittance and low reflectance
to eliminate glare.
4
Made of grooved copper sheet and copper tube
structure soldered to each other providing maximum contact area for
excellent heat transfer between nickel chrome coating to produce a
superior selective surface having absorptivity 96% and very low emission
of 20%
5
Attached to the insulation to reflect the emitted
heat radiation to the absorber plate thus minimizing heat loss at the
back
6
High density rock wool slabs are used a bottom and
sides of the absorber plate to minimize heat loss.
7
Made of Aluminum sheet 20 swg thick duly anodized.
8
12 mm copper water ways silver-brazed to 25mm copper
manifolds an optimal ratio between diameters.
9
Can be made at four locations with the help of bolts
and nuts with rubber seals between the joints.
SYSTEM WORKING
The collectors are placed at certain angle towards
south facing to get whole day and year round performance. Cold water is
filled in copper tubes and heated with the principal that black body
absorbs more the absorber surface is coated black. Due to solar
radiation falling on the absorber surface and converted into heat energy
and transfer to water flowing through the tubes. At this stage cold
water losses its density and becomes lighter. Due to this difference of
hot and cold water,
The hot water is lifted automatically to the
insulated hot water storage tank. Initially the hot water
storage tank is filled with cold water supplied from cold water storage
tank which is above hot water tank. The bottom of the cold water tank is
minimum one feet above the top of the water tank to avail the pressure
head of cold water which forces the heated water to rise up the cold
water to take place of raised water. This process is called THEROMOSYPHON PROCESS. It is continuous automatic process
and can hearts the water upto 60degreeC according to the design of
system output.
