CopperHeart Integral Collector Storage

The CopperHeart integral collector storage system, or ICS, combines thermal collection and storage in a single unit. The CopperHeart is designed to meet the international demand for a simple, durable and inexpensive domestic water heating system. The CopperHeart typically serves as a solar preheater to an existing electric or gas water heater, but may be used as the primary water heater in certain climates. ICS units are excellent choices for residential new construction in the U.S. Sunbelt or other mild climates that do not experience hard freeze conditions.view specs.

Heliodyne Solar Water Heating Systems

The GOBI line of solar flat-plate collectors is one of the industry's highest-rated.HELIO-PACK Over 30 years of design and engineering refinement have gone into making it a world-class performer for heat output, efficiency, and durability. The collector is available in three sizes, with two surface types to choose from (blue sputtered and black paint), making it suitable for all types of solar heating applications.

Bosch Solar Thermal Systems

Bosch solar thermal heating systems effectively convert the sun’s free energy into practical heat for domestic hot water and space heating applications. These indirect solar heating systems include the following components:

• Flat Plate Solar Collectors – collecting and transferring solar thermal energy into usable heat
• Solar Pump Station – circulation system for moving the heat transfer fluid from the collectors to the storage tank
• Solar Controller – automatically decides when to run the pump to bring the solar heat from the collectors to the storage tank
• Expansion Tank – a safety device that captures the expansion and condensation of the solar heat transfer fluid during changing climatic conditions

The design and selection of the Bosch solar thermal systems comes from 25 years of experience with solar installations in varied conditions and locations. The propylene glycol solution used as the heat transfer fluid is designed to endure the freezing conditions of winter and the high stagnation temperatures of summer. This system will deliver reliable and efficient hot water heating year after year.
