Preventive Measures For Corrosion, And Freezing In Solar

Water Heater

Solar Power• Solar is one of the renewable energy sources which can

easily energize the household equipment with its simple apparatus.

• The solar is one if the affordable energy source seen implemented since many years ago in the calculator, watches, etc…

• There are many power plants which is been constructed and operated by utilizing the sun’s radiation.http://www.slideshare.net/leeshin12/solar-power-system-parts-and-working-of-solar-water-heater

Solar Water Heater• This is one such equipment which is been in use since many

years ago.

• The water heater in here is powered by solar power.

• The water is made to flow inside the collectors and the heat gets exchanged between the cold water and the heat exchanger and forms converts them into hot water.

• This is how the solar water heating process takes place

Preventive Measures

• Though the installation and the construction process of solar water heaters rely on the hand of the professional contractors, it is the responsibility lies in the individual to inspect for the flows in the system and maintain it.

• If the situation become worse, a professional should be hired for which more money to be spent and seldom the system replacement may also happens.

Corrosion

• Corrosion is the main problem which occurs frequently and this is the alarming signal that the system is getting old.

• Thus as the next step, folks should double the effort of the cleaning process in even more professional way.

• Cleaning and maintaining of the solar water heater is very easy process. some are mention below uniquely to the problem called “corrotion”

Coating • Coating process cannot be done by the fellow men, this

phenomenon purely depends on the professional heater manufactures.

• Corrosion can occur at any part of the heater like tank, collector, exchanger, etc…

• Thus proper coating should be given to all the parts and it should be checked for the quality before purchasing.

• Double coated heaters are always the preferable factor.

Freezing• Freezing is due to the temperature change when they cross

certain limit.

• This freezing will interrupt the water flow slowly making the dews in the solar water heater as snows.

• Such situation is predominant in the area of high snow fall region.

• This will happen when the system is left wet during the winter season.

• Below are preventive measures for “Freezing”

Anti freezing agents• This is one of the preventive measures to avoid the freezing

in the solar water heating system.

• The anti-freezing agents should be made to flow along the path of the water which then melts the freezing in of the system.

• Glycol is one such reagent which is used in large run.

Draining method• There is huge common sense behind the usage of water

heater is that they are of no use during the summer season, so it is always wise to drain them thoroughly and make them ready for the upcoming stormy summer.

• Else the updates drain back system is used which drains the water into the tank when the sunlight begin to diminish and the temperature falls below certain limit

• These are some of the major problem occurs in all the solar water heating system.

• The maintenance cost of this system costs more, thus the maintenance should be done.

• Some of the maintenance tips are mentioned below • http://www.slideshare.net/leeshin12/tips-to-inspect-

and-maintain-solar-water-heaters

• Glazerindia (http://glazerindia.com) is one of the solar water heater producers In India.

• They provide number of solar water heaters of all types like domestic solar water heater, industrial solar water heater, commercial solar water heater.
