Solar heating system offers big savings
July 1st 2008 Stokvis Energy Systems will be
exhibiting at the Energy Event
2008, 10-11 September, Motorcycle
Museum, Birmingham. One of the
major neew product on display will
be its solar heating offering. An
evacuated tube solar collector
linked to boilers and plate heat
exchangers saves money by
maximising the energy efficiency of
heating systems while also
minimising heat loss through
radiation.
The ultra high efficiency
Ecotube, developed and patented
by Riomay and now available from
Stokvis Energy Systems, radically
reduces the amount of 'parasitic'
energy (energy used up by the
system itself when converting solar
energy to heat) lost by most
evacuated tube solar heating
systems.
As a result, the system requires
smaller pumps to circulate the fluid
in the evacuated tube collector.
This means that there are fewer
drops in pressure through the
system, giving a more sustained
level of heat than most other
systems.
Independent laboratory tests
prove that the Ecotube produces
more than 750kWh/m2 per year in
direct heating mode and a
staggering 850kWh/m2 per year in
pre-heat mode.
Stokvis Energy Systems will be
featuring the solar heating systems
at Energy Event 2008, alongside
the company's latest high
efficiency plate heat exchangers
and boilers for commercial and
public buildings.
