Tailored to the Needs of Commercial Usage:
Solar Thermal Packages Made by Schüco
San Francisco, July 14 – Anyone who wants to install and operate a
thermal solar system and to make no compromises regarding
reliability, functionality, and service will find the answer in Schüco
USA’s new Commercial and Residential Solar Thermal Packages.
The packages, presented for the first time at Intersolar North America
2009 in San Francisco, are optimally tailored to the requirements of
commercial usage. The Solar Thermal Packages of the complete
provider Schüco are equipped with high-quality components and
contain every necessary part of a solar preheat system. An
advantage for end consumers: All of the U.S.-manufactured
components and services come from one source.
Solar Large Volume Storage Tanks
The trouble-free commercial packages consist of large hot water
collectors with an output of up to 2.2 kWTH, a number of Balance of
System (BOS) components and Schüco Solar Large Volume Storage
Tanks. There are three versions of the latter: solar potable water
storage tanks (designed for use with direct glycol solar hot water
system designs), buffer tanks, and preheat tanks (indirect glycol solar
hot water). All of these types of hot water tanks are offered in various
sizes, from 200 to 1,200 gallons. The tanks, which are made and
tested in the U.S. and easy to install, fulfill all performance criteria in
terms of quality, efficiency, and corrosion standards.
Large Area Heat Transfer Stations
In addition, Schüco has added Commercial Large Area Heat Transfer
Stations to its product portfolio, which obviates the need to buy and
install hydraulic control units.
The Heat Transfer Stations consist, among other things, of highly
efficient heat exchangers, pumps, valves, level indicators, and air
separators. The Heat Transfer Station Schüco PS 2.2. LF 100 US is a
compact system of hydraulic pumps for large solar installations with a
collector area of up to 1,080 square feet (100 square meters). The
system includes an integrated solar heat exchanger as well as pumps
for solar and buffer circuits. The compact construction is simple and
space saving and reduces heat loss thanks to thermal insulation. The
Schüco PS 2.2 LF 170 US is suitable for even larger applications –
the modular system for solar installations or solar cooling is designed
for collector surfaces of up to 1,830 square feet. The new products
augment what is already the largest portfolio of standardized
commercial storage systems of any company in the American solar
industry.
Schüco has been successfully operating in the U.S. solar market for
over three years now. At its U.S. locations in Newington, CT and
Union City, CA, the company is setting standards and showing that
urgently needed climate protection and economic success are not
mutually exclusive. Promoting the use of environmentally friendly,
renewable energies has been a primary aim of the company for many
years. Intersolar North America 2009 in San Francisco will be another
important milestone for the building specialist Schüco USA.
