All's rosy with solar water heating

摘要

Andrews Water Heaters has supplied a solar water heating system for the Van Hage garden and leisure retail store at Peterborough Garden Park. The SOLARflo system preheats water serving two Andrews ECOflo water heaters which supply DHW to the building. The five solar collectors, which provide 90.8% transmission efficiency, 95% absorption efficiency and a low emission loss of 5%, are mounted on the pitched roof. Preheated water is transferred to the 700 litre stainless steel unvented cylinder which supplies the two ECOflo 230/700 water heaters, reducing consumption of natural gas.
