A heat exchanger that replaces the lower heating element in a conventional electric water heater to transfer heat from solar collectors (or maybe a wood stove?) into the hot water tank. Relatively low capacity --they recommend one of these per 13 sqft of collector area. A unique design solar thermal heat storage tank.
Typical cylinder heat exchanger coils designed for indirect heating from a boiler with an 80oC flow temperature pumped at around 15 litres a minute will have a heat exchanger rating ranging from 15kW up to 30kW or above.
This is where the retrofit coil comes in. I have been producing Solar retrofit coils for hot water systems for a number of years now and have found them to be a very efficient way of transferring heat from a solar collector into the hot water storage tank.
This is generally via indirect heat transfer either by means of an internal heat exchanger such as a coil or by means of an external heat exchanger usually of the brazed plate to plate variety.
It should be noted that this refers to ‘normal’ boiler primary conditions with a flow temperature of 80oC at 15litres/minute and assumes the heat exchanger power rating for the solar heat exchanger is based on heating the entire contents Vt.
At the heart of any successful Solar Thermal system there has to be some form of hot water storage system. This may store domestic hot water ready for use at the tap or store ‘primary water’ used to produce domestic hot water by means of heat exchange.
