| Large solar collectors on the roof of a sports club in Upper Austria  Not only the ball is round but also the sun's fiery orb which delivers warmth for heating and domestic hot water with the help of TiSUN large scale solar collectors on the roof of a sports club in Upper Austria. Mr. Brunner, chairman of the local sports and gymnastics club focused on solar energy for their new building. The solar system supports the pellet boiler during winter for space heating, and during summer covers the domestic hot water demand for showers and bathrooms. The four TiSUN FA large flat solar collectors with a total collector area of 36,4 m2 were mounted on the south-facing roof at an angle of 40° by the TiSUN crane installation team. The large size of the collectors allows a speedy roof mounting and quick hydraulic connections, no matter what the weather conditions are. Every collector is a single 9 m2 unit and allows large solar arrays to be implemented, even in limited roof space.Two stratified Pro-Clean cylinders with spherical heat exchangers layer the harvested solar energy for the most efficient output. Each cylinder has a volume of 1,250 litres and stratifies without complicated technology. Mr. René Wurm of the local plumbing company that carried out the installation, explains the high performance of the solar system: "The usage profile of sports clubs is perfect. During the day the cylinders can collect the sun's heat and in the evening, after the training sessions, they are emptied and there is the potential for them to be recharged the next day". write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
