Hot In The Summer? – Time For Underfloor Cooling Technology
10th June 2016
Thermo-Floor & its Solar Thermal System
Solar water heating systems take advantage of the sun’s natural energy to warm domestic hot water. When solar energy is unavailable a conventional boiler or immersion heater is then used to raise the temperature of the water.
Working silently and not emitting any harmful pollutions, a solar thermal system will reduce your carbon footprint and increase your homes ‘green’ contribution to the environment. Each Solar Thermal System comprises of three component parts – the Solar Collector, Solar Circuit and the Hot Water Cylinder.
The Solar Collector draws energy from natural sunlight and transfers this energy to the fluid in the Solar Circuit pipes that flow through them. The circuit transfers the hot fluid to the Hot Water Cylinder through a heat exchange coil and the heat is transferred to the domestic hot water supply. Your boiler acts as a secondary source and tops up your cylinder as required. The panels used for Solar Thermal Systems are either evacuated tubes or flat plates.
