How does a high pressure solar geyser work?
High pressure solar geysers are designed for on grid water supply (municipality). Anything over 200kpa is considered high pressure, however 400kpa is ideally what you would want to run your hot water pressure at. The water pressure at the hot water tap will be the same as the pressure from your cold water tap, provided the pipes are of equal diameter.
What is a high Pressure Solar Geyser?
The simple compact design leaves no space for extra components which can leak, freeze, burst, lose heat, or simply stop working. The heat pipes fit directly into the tank. There is only a sleeve inside the tank, so heat loss is minimal. Because the whole system is on the roof, it is easier to install, which also cuts costs. Our high pressure systems use a 1.2mm stainless steel tank. All our systems use 2mm tubes, designed to withstand 38mm diameter hail.
Closed Coupled solar geysers
Closed coupled solar geyser systems are probably the most effective systems as they have less chance of heat loss because there is less piping for the water to travel till it reaches the tank through the thermosiphon method.
