How a solar heating system works
Solar heating systems usually consist of a solar collector on the roof, a control unit with a pump, and a well insulated hot water tank in the heating room or basement.
How a solar heating system works
The solar system brings the sun into your hot water and your room heating.
Collector.In the solar collector, coated copper plates collect the energy radiated by the sun. Under the plates, copper pipes are fastened through which a heat transfer liquid flows.
Controller. If the liquid in the solar collector is hotter than in the domestic water tank, then the controller switches on the circulating pump. Through the heat exchanger, the heat is transferred from the heat transfer liquid to the domestic water in the storage tank. As a result, the heat transfer liquid cools down and is once again fed through the collector to collect heat. And so, the cycle continues to run without interruption.
Storage tank.The solar system heats the storage tank through a built-in heat exchanger. If the solar radiation is insufficient to completely heat up the storage tank, then the solar system still helps for preheating. Through this solar preheating, the connected boiler requires considerably less energy to get the storage tank up to the desired temperature. The results are considerable fuel savings and a reduced load on the environment.
