How does a solar heater? Solar
The operation of the solar heater is simple and effective . It consists of two main parts:
-collector - Element responsible for capturing the sun's energy and transform it into heat. Using a metal structure gives collectors a suitable angle to ensure that optimal uptake throughout the year.
The collector in turn consists of the following parts:
-Box: A metallic element that contains other elements.
-Absorber: Element responsible for transforming solar radiation into heat. This is a black surface with different characteristics depending on the type of collector
-Cover: transparent element responsible for causing the greenhouse effect inside the box to increase the temperature and the use of heat by absorbing
-accumulator or tank, tank where hot water is stored for consumption. To prevent water lose their heat during the night the heat storage tank is sealed with appropriate insulation materials.
The tank and collector are connected by pipes.
The water heating process begins when the sun's rays strike the collector surface and raise the temperature of the water flowing through the pipes you have in your interior.
loses water when heated and tends to rise density passing through the pipeline to the storage tank is located above. The space that frees up water that has risen is replaced by water that has not been heated from the accumulator. This water is heated in turn by the same procedure and again repeating the process up while the sun's rays impinge on the collector.
This establishes a natural cycle in which all the solar energy captured in the collector enters the tank.
At the end of the day we have hot water, between 45 and 75 degrees Celsius heat stored in the tank sealed. It is estimated that the average loss during the night temperature inside the tank is between 3 and 7 degrees Celsius, so you can enjoy hot water stored during the night or morning before to come out of the sun.
