Components of Solar Water Heater

Solar water heater converts sunlight energy into heat energy and heats water from low to high temperature to meet people's hot water use in life and production. Water heaters are divided into vacuum tube water heaters and flat plate water heaters according to their structural forms, with vacuum tube solar water heaters dominating, occupying 95% of the domestic market share.

Insulated Water Tank

A container for storing hot water. The hot water collected through the collector tube must be stored in an insulated tank to prevent heat loss. The capacity of a solar water heater is the capacity of water available in the water heater, excluding the capacity that cannot be used in the vacuum tube. For pressurized water heaters, the capacity refers to the capacity of the medium in which heat exchange can occur.

Solar water heater insulation tank consists of three parts: the inner liner, the insulation layer, and the tank shell. The tank liner is an important part of hot water storage, and the strength and corrosion resistance of the material used is crucial. There are stainless steel, enamel, and other materials on the market. Insulation layer insulation material is directly related to the good or bad insulation effect, especially important in the cold season. Better insulation is polyurethane overall foam process insulation. The shell is generally a color steel plate, aluminum galvanized plate or stainless steel plate. Insulation tank requires good insulation effect, corrosion resistance, and clean water quality.

Connecting pipes

The solar water heater is the first cold water in the heat storage tank, and then the heat is transported to the insulation tank through the collector. The thermal storage tank is connected to the indoor cold and hot water piping so that the whole system forms a closed loop. Well-designed and properly connected solar piping is essential for the solar system to work optimally. The solar piping must be insulated, and the cold areas in the north need to lay the heating tape on the outside of the piping to ensure that users can use solar hot water even in the cold winter.

Control Components

General domestic solar water heaters need to run automatically or semi-automatically. The control system is indispensable. The commonly used controller is automatically on the water. The water is fully cut off and displays the water temperature and water level, water heaters with electric auxiliary heating and leakage protection, anti-dry burning, and other functions. There are intelligent water heaters on the market controlled by cell phone SMS, with functions such as water temperature and water level inquiry, fault alarm, start on the water, shut off the water, start electric heating, etc., which are convenient for users.

Along with the development of the industry, the competition in the solar water heater industry is intensifying. And outstanding water heater manufacturers are paying more and more attention to industry market research, especially the in-depth study of the industry development environment and product consumers. Linuo Ritter Co., Ltd was established in 2010, focusing on the research, development, and manufacturing of solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, air source heat pumps, and other diversified new energy systems. We are an expert in solar thermal engineering and solar photovoltaic engineering.
