Stainless Steel Solar Water Heater

Stainless steel solar water heater: Effective and Eco-Friendly

The stainless steel solar water heater converts solar radiation into a renewable energy source and uses it to heat water. Compared to water heaters powered by fuel, these have very less operating costs and also do not emit harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. Being self sustaining, these are fit for use in almost everywhere, be it urban and industrialized, rural, places bereft of essential supplies and many more. The main components of stainless steel solar water heaters generally are collectors, pipes and an insulated tank.

Being completely made from stainless steel, these have resistance to corrosion, abrasion and scratches. Also, these have a long service life and require negligible maintenance. The stainless steel solar water heaters are available in different specifications at market leading rates.

Working Principle :

These have a water heater collector that is constructed from an evacuated vacuum tube system or flat panel collector system. When sunlight falls on the heater, the resulting solar radiation heats up the water present owing to the enhanced transmittance of the covering glass medium

The heated water then rises in the various tubes eventually reaching the tank

The colder and denser water present in the insulated tank descends into the tubes getting heated next. This same process is repeated again and again.

Segmentation of Stainless Steel Solar Power Heater :

Close Coupled – The distinguishing feature of this design is that the water storage tank is horizontally mounted above the solar collectors on the roof. Benefit of this type of heater; no pumping is required.

Pump Circulated – The fundamental feature of this design is that the storage tank is ground or floor mounted below the collectors. A circulating pump is needed to move water continuously between the tank and water collectors.
