Many people have used solar water heaters, but not everyone who has used a solar water heater knows about it. Do you know how to choose a solar water heater? What are the solar water heating system advantages and disadvantages? Blute, let’s take everyone to learn about it.
- How To Choose A Solar Water Heater
1.1 People living in different regions need to have different considerations. People living in the north need to consider the issue of antifreeze, so when purchasing, it is important to clarify the antifreeze function; People living in the south need to consider whether the product can be used 24/7, as many people in the south are accustomed to taking showers every day.
1.2 Carefully inspect the flat plate solar collectors. Flat plate solar collectors are key components of water heaters, and the amount of heat they receive under the same external conditions directly affects the temperature of the water. When purchasing, carefully observe the heat absorbing film of the flat solar collector, which is generally blue, black or dark blue in color. A high-quality heat absorbing film should have no scratches, peeling or detachment on the film layer, and the supporting parts should be placed upright and not loose.
1.3 Check the thermal performance indicators. In thermal performance indicators, the higher the “average daily efficiency”, the better, and the lower the “average heat loss coefficient”, the better.
- Solar Water Heating System Advantages And Disadvantages
2.1 Has good pressure bearing performance. The heat absorbing plate of the flat plate solar collectors is made of metal material, and the connection between the collector and the water storage tank is also made of metal parts, so it can withstand the pressure from tap water and circulation pump.
2.2 Green and environmentally friendly. Solar energy is a green, renewable and clean energy source. Solar water heaters are not only energy-saving, efficient and cost-effective, but also do not cause pollution to the environment. Solar water heaters also have sewage purification functions, ensuring clean water sources without pollution.
2.3 Installation and maintenance are inconvenient. The installation location requirements for solar water heaters are very strict. If installed improperly, not only will there be safety hazards, but it will also affect the appearance. Moreover, solar water heaters are usually installed on rooftops, making daily maintenance difficult.
When choosing a solar water heater, it is important to master the selection techniques and consider its advantages and disadvantages comprehensively before making a decision on whether to purchase it.
