This 10,000 gallon pool in Canada is heated using 6 EOS-S30s, reducing the annual heating costs by 74%.
Operation: How Our Systems Work
_____The EOS twin glass evacuated tube absorbs and retains up to 96% of the solar energy it is exposed to due to it's extremely efficient solar absorptive coating and high insulation value.
_____This energy is collected and stored upon our specially designed recycled aluminum absorption plates. The energy is then transfered to a copper heat pipe that contains a non-toxic liquid that is designed to boil at 84°F. The boiling liquid becomes steam and rises up the tube which is held in place with a cork based stopper and metal thermal reflective plate at the top of the evacuated tube.
_____The steam passes up into a condenser bulb at the tip where it releases it's heat to the bulb and condenses back into a liquid. The liquid then drops back to the bottom of the tube to start the process over again.
_____This complete evacuated tube assembly is then inserted into a copper manifold housed within our specially designed header that is made of a powder coated extruded aluminum mounted upon stainless steel rails, and is held in place with a clip at the bottom of the collector.
_____The fitting into the copper manifold inside the header is known as a "dry fitting" as there isn't a transfer of fluid between the solar loop and the heat pipe condenser, only heat. A water or glycol based antifreeze solution is then circulated thru the copper manifold to absorb the heat for use in industrial, commercial, and residential heating of domestic hot water, radiant floors, pools, and spas.
_____EOS Solar Thermal Systems can be easily incorporated into any existing Hot Water generation system.
_____The collector can be attached directly to a properly pitched roof, or can be installed on our variable pitched mounting frame. The frame can then be attached directly to a pitched roof, flat roof, pole mount, or
the ground. The frame can even be inverted and attached directly to vertical surface as well, providing the collector with the appearance of an awning.
_____ This is the Original EOS prototype named the "Laika" model. There have been many design changes and updates since these units were installed.
