Rheem Passive Solar Water Heating Systems Offer High Efficiency And Low Energy Costs

摘要

As fuel costs climb and interest in green continues to rise, Rheem Water Heating now offers solar water heating systems under the Rheem Solaraide brand. Combining a storage tank with one or two collector panels, these "passive" systems operate without pumps or controllers, relying instead on the natural process of convection-also called indirect thermosiphoning-to circulate the heat-transfer fluid.rnMade especially for Rheem by its Australian subsidiary, Solahart, Rheem Solaraide systems use a specially developed, freeze-proof heat transfer fluid to absorb and deliver heat energy even on cold and overcast days. The fluid also circulates in a "closed loop" environment, which further protects against freezing, allowing these systems to be used year-round, even in cold-weather locales.
