What are the different types of circulation systems for solar water heaters?
Of the two types of circulation systems for solar water heaters, direct systems—or active systems—are easier to understand. The system is essentially a closed loop that water flows through.
What are the different types of solar water heating systems?
Solar water heating systems include storage tanks and solar collectors. There are two types of solar water heating systems: active, which have circulating pumps and controls, and passive, which don't. There are two types of active solar water heating systems: Pumps circulate household water through the collectors and into the home.
How does a closed-loop solar system work?
Closed-loop, or indirect, systems use a non-freezing liquid to transfer heat from the sun to water in a storage tank. The sun's thermal energy heats the fluid in the solar collectors. Then, this fluid passes through a heat exchanger in the storage tank, transferring the heat to the water. The non-freezing fluid then cycles back to the collectors.
How do solar collectors work?
The sun's thermal energy heats the fluid in the solar collectors. Then, this fluid passes through a heat exchanger in the storage tank, transferring the heat to the water. The non-freezing fluid then cycles back to the collectors. These systems make sense in freezing climates.
What is a dual pump station?
The dual pump station (shown on left) contains both a flow and return connection, and are widely used on most solar thermal systems. A single line return connection pump station is also available. These pump stations are pre-installed and leak-tested prior to shipping, and are UL-listed for safety.
Are passive solar water heating systems a good choice?
They are popular in climates prone to freezing temperatures. Passive solar water heating systems are typically less expensive than active systems, but they're usually not as efficient.
