The issue of effective and rational use of electrical and other energy has been interested in humanity for far from the first year. Accordingly, domestic and foreign scientists are constantly looking for all new methods to heat up premises of any scale and purpose. To date, you can increasingly hear about the use of special equipment that allows you to convert solar energy. One of these inventions is a solar collector with at least three advantages:
1) energy dependence (these devices are installed in those places where there is no connection with the centralized heat supply system or the owner of the farm, private house, enterprise wishes to not depend on anyone);
2) environmental friendliness (operated equipment does not emit substances that are harmful to humans and the environment that is dangerous to the environment, while the energy source has such an important quality as renewability);
3) efficiency (collectors are developed in this way in order to serve the maximum possible period, regardless of operating conditions, including climatic).
In the past few years, you can buy a sunny manifold without any difficulties. Private and legal entities are represented by various equipment models, but all of them can be combined in the following 3 groups:
1. Vacuum collectors (vacuum tubular, including equipped with a heat tube)
The main element of this technological device is special vacuum tubes made of glass. Systems of this type require the most careful installation. If the air temperature in the region exceeds minus 5 degrees on the Celsius scale, then the installation of additional equipment is often required. High -quality vacuum collectors are quite expensive.
2. Flat (with copper or aluminum heat exchanger).
Copper tubes are not exposed to corrosion processes, heat heat perfectly, while working poorly in conditions of cold climate, and are also very short -lived in conditions, for example, a sea climate, where air is a rather aggressive medium. Used in various enterprises and in private houses.
3. Year -round autonomous heating systems.
Special systems when collectors are mounted on the roof of the building, and a special accumulating tank – indoors or dug into the ground. All elements, including a stainless steel heat exchanger, are interconnected by means of pipes and steadfastly tolerate all influences from the outside. The system can be used as the main source of energy, and as an additional source. Integration problems with already functioning heating equipment, as a rule, do not arise.
The choice of a solar collector and additional equipment must be performed deliberately, and it is best to use the advice of qualified specialists.
