WHAT
IS SOLAR THERMAL?
Solar Thermal
is a clean and highly efficient means of using renewable energy from the
sun to provide the hot water used in the home. The basic principle is
easy to understand. If you unroll a garden hose on the ground and leave
it exposed to the radiant heat of the sun, in a short time the water in
the hose will become warm. Solar thermal collectors work in very much
the same way, only more efficiently.
Usually, but not exclusively, roof mounted solar collectors will be connected to one of the coils of a twin-coil cylinder using a sealed circuit containing a special glycol/water solution. This fluid not only withstands the high temperatures in excess of 200ºC on a summer day but also will not freeze in temperatures down to –25ºC.
The pump in the system circulates the heated fluid from the panel to the cylinder where the heat is transferred to the stored water through the lower coil.
