Reliable solar performance thanks to optimal air separation
More and more houses are equipped with solar collectors and solar panels for generating energy. In addition to supplying electricity, these panels can also be used to heat tap water or your heating system. This combination is known as hybrid solar panels.
What is the problem with air and microbubbles in solar systems?
Air and microbubbles in installations with solar panels or solar water heaters cause reduced heat transfer, corrosion and premature wear of components such as pumps and valves. This leads to higher energy costs, malfunctions and shortens the lifespan of your installation.
What solutions are available and what should you pay attention to when choosing?
There are various solutions available to effectively remove air and microbubbles from solar systems. Automatic air vents ensure that larger air bubbles disappear, while microbubble separators continuously and effectively remove the smallest bubbles, improving the performance of your installation.
When choosing the right solution, it is important to consider:
- Suitable for high temperatures (up to 180°C)
- Compatibility with glycol-containing liquids
- Effectiveness in quickly removing air and microbubbles
- Robustness and reliability of the design
At high temperatures, it is quite a challenge to get air out of the system and keep system water in!
What solutions does Spirotech offer?
Spirotech has developed two effective and reliable solutions specifically for solar systems:
- SpiroTop Solar automatic air vent: Ensures that larger air bubbles are automatically removed. Ideal for placement at high points in the system, where air usually collects.
- SpiroVent Solar Microbubble Deaerator: Specially designed to continuously remove even the smallest microbubbles. This ensures long-term maintenance of optimal performance.
The SpiroTop Solar and SpiroVent Solar are suitable for both residential and commercial installations with solar panels and solar water heaters. They are compact, easy to install, low maintenance and suitable for use at high temperatures and with glycol-containing liquids.
AutoClose technology: Extra security
Our SpiroTop Solar and SpiroVent Solar products are equipped with the patented AutoClose technology, developed by our experts. This technology offers unique advantages:
- Prevents evaporation of system water with glycol (20%-50%) at temperatures above boiling point.
- Protects the system from "boiling dry" and prevents damage.
- Keeps system water continuously air-free for maximum efficiency.
The SpiroVent Solar - AutoClose ensures that air is effectively removed and the system continues to run smoothly, even under the most demanding conditions.
Thanks to the AutoClose principle, solar installations can remain free of air permanently, increasing system efficiency
