The operation of solar energy is a lot simpler than it seems. Everything is a matter of understanding the concepts, that are really easy to understand, but being novel, it is not always so easy to digest them.
That’s why we are bringing the task of hunting short and concise videos on the procedures of solar [...]
The cost of non-renewable energy is increasing dramatically every year, like the tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that pollute the atmosphere.
Conscious of the need to act, Calorex, a company of Grupo Industrial Saltillo, has shifted to establish sustainability, energy conservation, renewable energy utilization and environmental care, as values that guide their research and technological [...]
A homemade Solar Thermal Hot Water System is a device that collects solar energy and converts it into heat energy. Usually used to raise the temperature of water for sanitary use. Solar heaters are easy home construction and low maintenance. The lifespan of a solar heater can be over 20 years, virtually maintenance free.
Components [...]
Solar water heaters, these types of water heaters are based on the power of the sun to heat water.
How efficient are they? That depends on the amount of sunlight they receive. The more sunlight the better and more intense use at home.
First the water passes through a kind of pre-heating process to room temperature before [...]
The proper functioning of the solar heater through time depends on a perfect performance in the installation and use of appropriate materials. As for materials, you should require those who are of the highest quality and lasting in time.
The main factors affecting the plant materials are: oxidation, corrosion, or ultraviolet rays.
Oxidation is a phenomenon where [...]
The CIATEC, Center for Applied Innovation in Competitive Technologies, is working on the development of prototype heaters to use solar energy.
The Director of Research, José Luis Palacios Blanco, says the aim of his research is to create a more competitive cost-efficiency and encourage the use of solar energy among the population.
“We started to evaluate prototypes [...]
What is a solar boiler?
It is a system that heats water with the energy coming from the Sun, with no gas or electricity.
How is it?
A solar boiler has tree parts: a flat solar collector, in charge of capturing the energy from the sun and transfer it to the water: the “thermal tank”, where warm water [...]
Solar energy is a very efficient way to heat water. Combine that with storage below ground and have a system that works all year, warm in winter and cool in summer. The Dutch company Ooms Avenhorn Holding BV has taken this concept and created the Highway Energy Systems (RES).
Instead of putting pipes in the ceilings, [...]
Sometimes the word is used to refer to a thermosyphon water heater, solar collector or plate. But it is really a term to describe a physical phenomenon; it has been adapted well to refer to solar heaters that operate under this phenomenon.
So how does this phenomenon work
When a liquid is flowing through without pumps, the [...]
