Solar Thermal
A Solar Thermal System can be connected to a heat exchanger at the bottom of the tank to heat the cool water, this is where it is most effective because of the greater temperature difference between the two fluids. Internal pipework ensures this heat is guided to the top of the tank where it can be used immediately. This means that domestic hot water can be drawn off within minutes of the solar system working, thereby shutting down the boiler much earlier than some conventional buffers.
The Solus ll is supplied in a range of sizes from 500ltrs to 2200ltrs and a range of different specifications to suit the specific application.
Boilers
The boiler(s) deliver heat to the center and top regions of the tank. More than one boiler can be employed, a typical installation might include a wood boiler stove and a gas boiler or a batch burning log boiler.
The water within the store is circulated around the heating system and boilers in a sealed system, therefore only sealed system boilers can be used. Newer high efficiency gas, oil, wood logs and pellet stoves fitted with boilers such as the Lenius are ideal.
