THE BASIC PRINCIPLE |
||
Natural Circulation | ||
 |
The Thermosyphon Principle: Hot water is lighter than cold water and flows upwards, while cold water flows down. This "sun generator" circulates water all day long and stops when the sun go down. |

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW! |
||
|---|---|---|
Flat Panel versus Heatpipe | ||
 |
Flat Panel systems are very robust and almost maintenance free because there are no moving parts, no
electronics, no pumps... Heat Pipe systems are sophisticated "high-tech" systems which reaches higher maximum temperatures... |

|
 |
Flat panel systems are usually operating in the thermosyphon principle. For that it is important that the hot water storage tank is always located above... For Heat Pipe systems a forced circulation by a PLC controlled circulation pump is always required... |
For a more detailed in-depth technical system description
please download our PDF document: Technical DetailsPressurised versus Non-pressurised |
|
 |
In a pressurized system the hot water storage tank is directly connected to the cold water supply. For that reason the cold and hot water pressure is always the same... In a non-pressure system, the pressure at the hot water outlet depends on gravity, this means the height between the hot water tank and the hot water outlet... |

Thailand maps of solar insolation |
| Thailand has one of the highest solar energy potential in the world. The range of radiation in Thailand is about 5.0 - 6.5 kWh/m² per day. |

MONTHLY SAVING |
 |
8.8 MWh annual energy production |
| If you used all the energy produced as hot water, the saving in electricity costs would be about 24,000.- THB per year. Reduction in greenhouse gas per year: 5.3 Tonnes of CO2. |
