| Modul collectors on the roof of the main building of Hotel Olira  The Olira Boutique Hotel in Bodrum, Turkey, uses solar warmth to heat water for showers and baths and for the pool complex, captured by a TiSUN solar system. This recently renovated hotel on the Aegean coast is particularly proud of its recreation and wellness area where it pampers its guests with a range of different water features. 56 m2 TiSUN FM-W module collectors supply solar heat to three Pro-Clean solar stratified tanks with spherical exchanger and a BE-SSP hot water tank. The solar stratified tanks each hold 1,500 litres and the hot water tank 800 litres.The Boutique Hotel Olira in south-west Turkey uses the TiSUN solar system very efficiently. During the day, the solar stratified tanks stratify all the solar energy in the basement of the main building and supply hot water for baths and showers for 100 guests in the evening. The swimming pools act as a storage medium, so the system's capacity is fully utilised and it runs very economically. Mounted on the roof where it is inconspicuous to the guests, the solar system from Tyrolean solar specialists TiSUN supplies almost 100% of the hot water needed for baths, showers, the pool complex and the wellness area. Bünyamin Altindag, owner of the Boutique Hotel, states his reasons for choosing the solar heating system: "We decided to invest in solar heating because we are convinced that it will pay for itself in a very short time. We are also concerned about the environment. Our guests love nature and are more likely to visit Bodrum/Turkey again if we look after the natural environment." The amortisation time is 3.5 years. After this time, the hotel will continue to use free, infinitely available solar power for two decades and enjoy massive savings on energy costs. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
