Roof Mounted or Thermosiphon systems call on Mother Nature to circulate water through the solar collectors to the storage tank using the thermosiphon principle that hot water rises naturally.
Hence, eliminating the need for circulating pumps or other moving parts. Chromagen’s thermosiphon systems are the most straightforward, economically viable and energy efficient designs available.
A gas or electric backup booster provides energy during cloudy weather, so you can have plenty of hot water when you need it.
There’s two types of system available:-
Open-Loop System - Suitable for warm climates
In Open-Loop Systems the water circulates through the solar collectors
and is heated directly by the sun. These systems are suitable for climates
that are mostly frost-free and have good water quality.
Close-Loop System - Suitable for cooler climates
Closed loop systems utilise a heat exchanger to heat the water indirectly
with the sun. They are particularly useful in frost prone areas and areas
with poor water quality
