Solar industrial heating system. Orb offers both evacuated glass tube technology etc and copper flat plate technology fpc which can be integrated with a heat pump for 24 7 hot water. American solar s heating designs meet america s largest energy need heating energy which is 60 to 80 of all the energy used in industrial applications. Solar water heating systems almost always require a backup system for cloudy days and times of increased demand. There are an estimated 200 000 000 solar water heating systems worldwide with asian leading the way and europe in 2nd.

The principles of solar water heaters are the same in an industrial application as a residential application only the systems are sized much larger. Nationwide approximately 18 of energy use in residential buildings and 4 in commercial buildings is for water heating. Swhs are widely used for residential and some industrial applications. Process water heating is the term used for any commercial solar heating applications.

Orb s solar water heating solutions help commercial and industrial customers dramatically reduce their electricity bill often resulting in payback in just one year. Section grid6 title lock energy rates with solar thermal systems content several industrial applications across manufacturing industries require temperature in the range of 40 120 o c. Conventional storage water heaters usually provide backup and may already be part of the solar system package. Solar hot water heaters have been around commercially since the late 1800 s.

Today solar water heating has drastically evolved due to the high performance available through solar vacuum tubes. Many industrial processes require higher temperatures than the typical solar thermal applications domestic hot water space heating swimming pool heating. There are literally 100s of commercial applications whereby solar thermal heating can be applied. Solar water heating systems which use the sun s energy rather than electricity or gas to heat water can efficiently serve up to 80 of hot water needs with no fuel cost or pollution and with minimal operation and.
