What is a Solar Water Heater ? • Solar Water Heater is a device that helps in heating water by using the energy coming from the SUN. • Solar energy is totally free. Solar energy (sun rays) is used for heating water at zero operating cost. • In general solar water heaterconsists of a solar collector that is fixed on the roof of a building and connected to a insulated water-storage tank
Components Of Solar Water Heaters The solar water heaters are manufactured in different designs. All the designs have some common components as: • Supporting Stand • Solar Collectors (Absorbs solar energy coming from the sun) • Insulated Storage Tank (to effectively store hot water) • Connecting Pipes and Instrumentation, etc.
Working Principle Of Solar Water Heater Is Very Simple • Device Has Insulated Collectors Which Absorb The Radiations Of Sun And Converts It Into Heat Energy. • This Collected Energy Is Passed To A Water Tank With The Help Of Circulating Pumps. • Thermal regulators handle this exchange very well.
As the collector is hotter than the water inside the tank exchange process begins. • In this process, the hot water goes upwards because of its low density and due to gravity, the cold water with upper density moves down from the water tank. • Solar collectors are arranged in a series-parallel arrangement. • This combination helps to produce a huge quantity of hot water. It’s efficiency is maximum during the summer season.
Solar water heating system works great in other seasons as well. • When there is insufficient sunlight, the water in the storage tanks is pre-heated and then a backup system takes the water to the desired temperature. • This working principle helps the solar water heater to work continuously and generates hot water throughout the year.
Types of Solar Water Heaters • Flat Plate Collector • Evacuated Tube Collector
Flat Plate Collector • They are consist of a rectangular box that is insulated. • This insulated box is covered by a glass. • Just under the glass, there are a series of interconnected copper pipes from where hot water flows through.
Evacuated Tube Collector • Evacuated tube collectors consists of glass tubes • These insulated glass tubes absorbs the solar radiations. • The idea behind this type of solar hot water system is that vacuum is a good insulator.
Conclusion • Variety Of Configurations Is Available As Per Requirement • Provide Solutions In Different Climates • The Amount Of Heat Delivered By A Solar Water Heating System Is Completely Free • Device Is Eco Friendly In Nature • Requires Low Maintenance • It Is Environment Friendly In Nature
