FPC Solar Water Heating System

The Solar Flat Plate Collector based systems are available in two modes – passive and active systems. Passive systems consist of an array of Solar Flat Plate Collectors, insulated hot water storage tank. A set of pipes connects the tank with the Collector array. The system works on simple Thermo siphon principle. There are no moving parts, electrical sensors or any complicated gadgets in this type. These systems are most suitable where output temperature need not be fixed. Active systems have a pump that feeds water to the collector array. A control panel activates the pump when the temperature of water in the collector array reaches the preset value. Active systems are preferred for systems above 3000 LPD or where the application is commercial or industrial. In addition to the Flat Plate Collector Systems, our company supplies all glass evacuated tube collector based ETC systems. The systems are suitable for small families as well as where the water available is hard.
