Sunny side up for water heating system
February 1st 2008 Hoval's SolKit is a solar system for
heating domestic hot water (DHW),
comprising solar collectors with
necessary bracketry and flashing
kits for on pitched roof, in-pitched
roof, on flat roof or on the wall, a
fully stainless steel calorifier, a
sophisticated plug and play digital
control system, pre-mixed heat
transfer fluid and all connections. It
is suitable for both light
commercial and residential
properties and can be installed in
one day using a flexible umbilical
(15, 20 or 25m) carrying flow and
return pipes and a sensor cable.
Designed in conjunction with
the University of Rapperswil, the
SolKit uses Hoval's LowFlow
technology to achieve high solar
fluid temperatures, with minimal
energy consumption for pumping.
When weather conditions are not
favourable the SolKit has a coil
linked to the boiler at the top of the
tank to facilitate auxiliary heating.
SolKits are available with either a
250 litre storage calorifier with two
flat plate solar collectors, or a 470
litre calorifier with two or three
collectors.The solar collectors are
coated with a selective material to
enhance absorption and feature
two-layer thermal insulation and an
anti-reflective front glass panel to
minimise energy losses.
