EagleSun™ Solar Water Heaters -
Residential & Commercial
The EagleSun™ line of 80 & 120 gallon drainback
solar water heaters are designed for families with 3-5 members.
EagleSun™ solar water heaters have fewer system
components than any other active solar system available,
making EagleSun™ more dependable and
virtually maintenance free. A solar water
heater by EagleSun™ will pay for itself several times
over through energy savings. Taking full advantage of AET's
exclusive Crystal
Clear™ selective coating and unique energy distribution
technology, the EagleSun™ achieves new levels of performance
and efficiency.
EagleSun™ Open
Loop water heating systems are highly efficient
due to the direct ciruclation of water from the storage
tank to the collectors. As the water flows through the
"open loop" during a typical day, it is heated
and then stored in the insulated tank. Systems are usually
sized to deliver 20 gallons of hot water per
person per day. The system performs best in
moderate climates such as the Southern United States
and Tropical climates. The collectors and exposed piping
are protected from freezing by a control recirculation
feature that circulates warm water during freezing conditions.
The EagleSun™
Closed Loop System offers excellent dependability and
performance due to the finned copper heat exchanger
coil in the tank bottom. As the sun shines on the collectors,
non-toxic antifreeze is circulated through the "closed
loop" by the pump and heat is transferred into
the tank. The potable water in the tank never flows
through the collectors. This prevents corrosion or scale
buildup in hard water areas. These popular systems have
proven to be dependable in installations across the
U.S. and world wide. Freeze protection is assured due
to the anitfreeze in the collectors and exposed piping.
The small tank has a heat exhanger inside of it so
you can just add that to an existing storage tank to
make any system solar heated without purchasing the
solar storage
tank itself.
You read right - Turn your existing water heater into
a solar hot water system! The component that makes the
Sav'n'Sun™ DX Drainback system unique is the drainback
reservoir with built-in heat exchanger. This allows
the use of a lightweight glass-lined storage tank. The
system collects heat by ciruclating water between the
reservoir and collectors and simultaneously, between
the storage tank and the heat exchanger inside the reservoir.
Since only the thermally efficinet pure water is used,
maximum safety and performance is assured. The DX System
is ideally suited to cold regions with many freezing
days each year or areas with aggressive water conditions.
The simplicity of the drainback provides reliable operation
that makes this system an asset to any home located
in the colder climes.
Three significant advantages make the EagleSun™
Drainback System one of the top performers in the U.S.
in both total energy output and efficiency. The simple
design eliminates many components. Only 100% drinking
water is used in the closed loop instead of chemicals
(antifreeze) so no maintenance is required. The collectors
and exposed piping drain each time the pump is turned
off, assuring freeze protection. Drainback is truly
the Premier Solar System.
EagleSun™ Space/DHW Systems are
integrated systems capable of zone space heating and
providing domestic hot water. AET high performing black
chrome collectors heat multiple 120 gallon glass lined
storage tanks through a drainback loop during the solar
day. This stored energy is then called for by the fan
coil unit thermostat and/or the differential control
for the DHW storage tank. Backup elements are provided
for heavy use or poor weather. For system capacity and
sizing in your area, contact
AET.
The Free Flow Thermosyphon Systems
operate on the simplest of principles - Gravity. As
the sun shines on the solar collector, water inside
is heated. This hot water is lighter than the cool water
in the bottom of the tank and so is pushed by the cool
water through the outlet pipe and into the tank for
storage. This circulation continues throughout the day
until the sun no longer shines on the collector. Since
no pumps or controls are required, system installation
costs are minimized. The effectiveness of thermosipon
systems is time proven more than any other system in
the world, and combined with AET's collectors optimizes
simplicity, performance and dependability.
