Surya Shakti Solar Water Heating System



Utility & Applications of Surya Shakti Solar Water Heating Systems

Surya Shakti Solar Water Heating Systems are useful to meet the requirement of hot water of Defence, Industries, Hotels, Hospitals, Hostels, Mess, Canteens, Religious and Charitable Institutes, Educational Institutes, Residence etc., for bathing, washing, cleaning, cooking, process heating, Boiler feed water, Leather tanning, Food processing, Space heating, H.D. Oil heating, Component washing, Dyeing, Painting, Ice Melting at high altitude areas, etc.  

Available Sizes of Surya Shakti Solar Water Heating Systems

Available in different sizes of 100 litres per day (LPD) at 60º C to 1,00,000 litres per day at 85º C for plains, Deserts, High Altitude areas, with or without Heat Exchangers & Electrical Back-up with Epoxy coated M.S. or stainless steel hot water storage tank.  Available in thermosyphen as well as Forced Flow mode with different designs & configurations.     

Surya Shakti SWHS with Double Loop / Heat Exchanger

Special systems with copper coil heat exchanger i.e. double loop is developed and provided to prevent scale formation or freezing of water at the locations where water is salty or ambient temperature goes Sub-zero.

Working of Surya Shakti Thermosyphen System

Basic Surya Shakti Solar Water Heating System works on the Thermosyphen principal.  The system is fed by cold water supply either under gravity flow, from Over-head Cold Water Tank (generally at 8 ft height to be provided by user, unless or otherwise specified) or through pump. In thermosyphen systems storage tank (Hot water) is kept above Solar Flat Plate Collectors.  To start with cold water is filled in Storage Tank (HW).  In the morning as the sun rises the Collectors gets heated up and water inside the riser tubes rises by natural convection on top of the storage tank and colder water from bottom of the storage tank flows in Collector under gravity.  Thus the natural circulation is automatically established whenever there is sufficient sun-shine and automatically stops during insufficient insolation when the upward buoyancy force is unable to overcome fluid friction losses inside plumbing.  Once Storage tank reaches at sufficiently higher temp, you can use the hot water from utility side by operating taps as and when required.  The cold water entry to the system will be controlled automatically.
