150 L Solar Water Heater With Flat Plate Solar Collector

Product Description

Wombat FTS solar water heater is a thermosiphon solar water heater that incorporates a high efficiency heat pipe flat plate collector and mains pressure stainless steel storage tank. An electric element provides backup heating to ensure hot water all year round.

Pressurized storage tank and strong suppotive aluminium mounting frame to make a compact solar water heater.

Basic Operation

Flat plate absorbers absorb sunlight and convert it to usable heat, which is transferred to the heat pipes welded to the underside of the solar absorber sheet. The heat pipes contains a small amount liquid which forms steam when heated, rapidly transferring the heat up to the header pipe which is connected to the storage tank. Water in the storage tank gradually circulates through the header pipe heating up the tank throughout the day.
