Solar thermal appliance

Solar thermal applianceWith over two years of product development and field tests, Wagner Solar Inc. (a division of Wagner & Co.) unveils its newest line of SECUSOL systems. Designed as a stand-alone appliance for domestic hot water preparation, SECUSOL systems are backed by an electrical heating element (4.5 kWel) and can be used to retrofit existing DHW heaters. SECUSOL is a non-pressurized, hybrid drain-back appliance. The patented design allows for the solar loop-fluid to drain directly back into the heat exchange coil, thereby eliminating the need for a separate tank to be installed. The appliance’s pump is also directly mounted to the bottom of the heat exchanger, complete with safety group and shut-off/fill valves. The unique pump integration means that a traditional pump station doesn’t need to be installed. The biggest advantage of SECUSOL is the total installation time, which (including collector mounting) typically takes only four to six hours.
