SmartPool SunHeater for Above Ground Pools

The SmartPool SunHeater solar heating system for above ground pools is designed to raise the temperature of your pool water by up to 10 degrees F or more. It utilizes your existing pool pump to circulate water through the solar collectors, heat it by the sun, and return it to the pool through the existing fitting.

Pressurized Solar Water Heater with Vacuum Glass Tubes and Heat Pipes

It is a great system which adopted high technology of 24 Vacuum glass tubes with heat pipes (No water in tubes) The size of the pressurized tank is 50 gallons Its fit for the use of dishwasher, washing machines, bath or showers for (1-8 people) in a household It combines the high efficiency absorptiveness with a fashionable design. Features: Two layers of evacuated glass tubes and one absorber fin to ensure high absorption and conductivity. Heat conducted by the medium inside heat pipe transfers the heat faster and more efficiently. Reliable high pressurized water inner tank of 1.5 mm thickness and 55 mm of insulation to lockup the temperature. Freeze proof. Since there is no water in the vacuum tubes it will not freeze - ever. A couple of hours of daylight are enough to have a permanent hot water supply even on rainy and cloudy days. Since the glass vacuum tubes absorb infra-red and ultraviolet rays. Since the vacuum tubes have a circular shape always the sun is striking their rays perpendicular to the tubes If a tube breaks there is no water leak If a tube breaks it can be easily replaced without the system having to be shut down. No lime or water scale. Turn on the tap, there is immediately hot water and the water is so clean because it uses the water directly from the tap, not from the tank When you take a shower you feel the pressure of the water, like feeling a relaxing and powerful massage. Thermal tank keeps the water hot up to 3 days if there is rain or cloudy days. Electric backup heater of 1500W. A useful if weather condition does not improve. Digital Solar Water Temperature controller to keep your water hot at your temperature desired. Free maintenance. DIY Installation easy to follow step by step. Can be installed on Ground, Flat or Pitched Roof 15~ 20 years life span. Manufactured under ISO-9001 International standards and CE Certified.

Solar Water Heating: A Comprehensive Guide to Solar Water and Space Heating Systems (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)

Heating water with the sun is almost as old as humankind itself, and it is done all over the world. Yet there are strangely few resources on the topic in North America.

Solar Water Heating fills this gap. It reviews the history of solar water and space heating systems from prehistory to the present, then presents the basics of solar water heating, including an introduction to modern solar energy systems, energy conservation and energy economics. Drawing on the author’s experience as an installer of these systems, the book goes on to cover:

Types of solar collectors, solar water and space heating systems and solar pool heating systems, including their advantages and disadvantages System components, their installation, operation, and maintenance System sizing and siting Choosing the appropriate system.

Since people often get turned off by the up-front cost, the book focuses especially on the financial aspects of solar water or space heating systems, clearly showing that such systems can save significant costs in the long run. Well-illustrated, the book is designed for a wide readership from the curious to the student or professional.

Bob Ramlow is the solar thermal consultant for the Wisconsin Focus on Energy Program. The owner of a renewable energy company, he has over 30 years experience with solar energy systems and is a founder and director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA). Benjamin Nusz currently works as a solar water heating consultant and site assessor in Wisconsin.

Gulf Stream Solar Kits for a Medium Family (3 to 4 people) - Medium Family - Zone 2 Solar Kit

The Solar Collector The solar collector is made up of several vacuum insulated glass tubes that absorb the sun's rays. It contains a double tube design with intricate layers of borosilicate glass, aluminum, solar filament, and copper pipes. The unit works in such a way that the glass allows light in, connecting with the solar filament yet, the insulation prevents the heat/energy (just recently captured) from being released. Specifically, it absorbs at a rate of 93% but it has a heat loss of less than 6%. The glass tubes are sealed creating a smooth, nearly seamless casing. Borosilicate glass was selected not only due to its strength but also the ability to withstand warping (in either high or low temperatures). The solar collector frame is made of sturdy anodized aluminum and specifically designed to match and hold the 15, 20 or 30 tube collector units. The adjustable frame can be mounted anywhere from a 23 degree angle to a 46 degree angle. Depending on your solar zone and which way the back of your home is situated, the angle of your solar collector may be an important factor in obtaining the optimal amount of light. Back-Up Heater by Gulf Stream A back-up heater makes sure you have hot water instantly. This 9kw back-up heater has the most accurate wattage to match the needs of a medium family. What is most unique about this particular back-up unit is that it is flow sensitive. In other words, if hot water from the solar collectors isn't available (i.e. a dreary day), the back-up will heat only what you use not the entire tank. This flow sensing back-up heater is the latest development in solar technology, but most importantly one that saves you more money. Control Panel If the circulating pump is the heart of the system then, the control panel is the brain . It regulates the temperature sensors and activates thecirculating pump to go on. This small electrical unit can be mounted on the wall and used to control the system as the homeowner dictates.
