How Do Solar Water Heaters Using Solar Vacuum Tubes Work?

There’s a huge availability of solar collectors on the market today. Flat plate collector is used most popularly in North America. It’s a good collector for residential hot water purposes. This collector works most of the season; but loses its performance during winter.

However, solar vacuum tubes are the most advanced solar collector technology available for solar water heating systems. They produce higher temperature. The main reason behind using solar evacuated tubes is that solar vacuum tubes deliver maximum performance in winter. It means, heating hot water during winter by using solar vacuum tubes will outperform all types of solar collectors available.

 

If you’re looking to produce solar hot water at a higher temperature, then you should consider heating with solar vacuum tubes. Rest assured that, you’ll get outstanding results. Solar evacuated tube collectors work like coffee thermos. Vacuum tubes absorb the heat energy that can’t escape easily.

But flat plate collector works like an ordinary coffee cup. The heat energy produced by a flat plate collector gets escaped through the walls of the collector easily. During winter, the outside temperature remains colder and the heat loss will be much greater with solar evacuated tube collectors.

This is the main reason why solar water heating systems using vacuum tubes are used in the Northern climates like Canada and Northern UDA. However, solar vacuum tubes are more popular in Europe and Asia because of the substantial low price.

It means, the overall cost of solar water heaters with vacuum tubes are much lower than their counterparts, which make them popular options to opt for. Nowadays two different heating systems are available within a 10% cost difference that means the vacuum tubes are growing rapidly in the US and Canada.

 

Another emerging market is home heating system using solar vacuum tubes. This heating kit delivers superior winter performance and higher operating temperatures. The home heating or space heating system becomes more popular in homes, shops, and commercial facilities.

 

A large size solar water heating system can be able to provide domestic hot water for home and additional heat to support the home heating system. It’s a right way to capture the full energy potential of the sun as the home heating and residential hot water account for around 80% of residential energy consumption.

When it comes to designing such system, you have to remember that the heat energy demand during summer is zero. Therefore, the additional solar heat requires to be controlled. You can divert the heat to a pool or a hot tub or you can get it done by covering the solar collectors with covers.
