I. Product Technical Features

The 150L-300L indirect flat-plate pressure-bearing solar water heater adopts an advanced dual-circulation system design, completely isolating the heat collection system from the water usage system through an efficient heat exchanger. This design brings many technical advantages:

High-efficiency heat collection system

The flat-plate collector adopts high-transparency low-iron tempered glass, with a light transmittance of over 93.5%. The selective absorption coating adopts the magnetron sputtering process, with an absorption rate of up to 96% and an emissivity of less than 5%. The core of the heat collection plate is made of copper-aluminum composite material, and the flow channel design has been optimized by computational fluid dynamics, with the heat conduction efficiency increased by more than 25%. The unique frame design ensures the stability and durability of the collector under harsh weather conditions.

Intelligent heat exchange system

The core heat exchanger adopts a SUS316L stainless steel plate heat exchanger, with a heat exchange efficiency of over 88%. The plates adopt a herringbone corrugation design, which increases the heat exchange area while enhancing the degree of turbulence. The antifreeze circulation system uses propylene glycol environmentally friendly antifreeze with a freezing point as low as -35℃, ensuring the normal operation of the system in extremely cold regions. The circulating pump adopts a DC brushless motor, reducing energy consumption by 30% and keeping the noise below 40 decibels.

Intelligent control system

It adopts a 32-bit ARM processor intelligent control center to monitor 32 operating parameters in real time. Equipped with a 7-inch color touch screen, it supports multi-language display. The intelligent learning algorithm can automatically optimize the operation strategy based on water usage habits, improving energy-saving effects by 15%. Supports Wi-Fi remote connection and can be monitored and operated in real time through the mobile phone APP. It is equipped with 16 safety protection functions such as intelligent anti-freezing, anti-overheating and anti-dry burning.

Iii. Installation and Configuration Plan

Selection of installation location

The optimal installation orientation of the collector is the south direction, with a deviation not exceeding ±15°. The installation inclination Angle is adjusted according to the local latitude, generally ±5° of the local latitude. Ensure that the installation location receives no less than 4 hours of sunlight throughout the day and avoid obstructions such as trees and buildings. The water storage tank should be installed in the indoor equipment room or on the balcony, and the ambient temperature should not be lower than 0℃.

System configuration suggestions

It is recommended to adopt a ratio of 2:1 for the heat collection area to the water tank capacity. The 150-liter model is equipped with a 3-square-meter collector, the 200-liter model with a 4-square-meter collector, and the 300-liter model with a 6-square-meter collector. The pipes shall be insulated with PPR, and the thickness of the insulation layer shall not be less than 20mm. It is recommended to configure a 220V auxiliary electric heating system, with the power selected based on the water tank capacity (2-3kW).

Installation Precautions

Before installation, a load-bearing assessment should be conducted to ensure that the bearing capacity of the installation foundation is not less than 100kg/m². All outdoor pipelines must be insulated with electric heating tapes. The system must be reliably grounded, with a grounding resistance not exceeding 4Ω. After installation is completed, a pressure test is required, with the test pressure being 1.5 times the working pressure.
