1, 40-06 collector
10, 40-06 Green Trim, "Grass Mounted" collectors
30, 40-06 collectors for a 1,200 s/f pool heating system |
SOLAR SPA HEATING Please see diagrams below for ideas on how to connect your spa to solar. Spa heating systems are usually sized to have 70 to 100% of the spa's surface area in collector area for year round use. SolarRoofs.com specializes in the collectors and does not supply balance of system components. ____________________________________ SPECIALIZED GLAZED POOL COLLECTOR 5840 Gibbons Dr. Suite H, Carmichael, CA 95608 Phone: (888) 801-9060 (916) 481-7200 Fax: 481-7203 Contact Us
Designed due to popular demand, this high performance Specialized Pool Collector is the best solution for Coastal and other areas where the average summer temperature is below the desired pool temperature. It is not recommended for hot areas such as AZ where stagnation would occur for long periods of time.
This Drainback collector has ½” nominal (5/8”OD) tubes at either end to connect the needed header size to. A 10-06, or 20-06 has one and a 40-06 will have 2 header connections at either end. CAUTION! It is vital to understand that these collectors can stagnate to over 270F and that water that hot can cause PVC pipe to drop like spaghetti. Consult with the factory about techniques to prevent this possible damage. One technique is to use purge tanks where the heated solar water goes through a small stored body or water to dilute the potentially high temperatures, a second is to have a slip valve where solar water is partially diverted past the collectors and to the return lines. 30, 40-06 collectors near the San Diego coast where average summer temperatures are 75 F and the customer desired 85 F pool temperatures = enormous reduction of gas usage. Mat collectors would not have done the job here.
General Sizing Guidelines Each 40-06, 40 square foot collector can deliver up to 46,000 Btu's per clear summer day. The average percentage of collector area to pool surface area coverage is generally 50 - 80% as recommended by the manufacturer. A south facing 50% coverage will generally give one to three additional months of pool usage at each end of the season. Some customers have requested pool systems with as little as 25% coverage with good results for their needs. These new glazed pool collectors are designed to heat pools when average summer ambient temperatures are below the desired pool temperature. They can contribute significant energy to the pool when ambient temperatures are up to 60 F below the desired pool temperature. These 06 series collectors have less insulation than our 01 series which limits stagnation temperatures usually to 270 F instead of over 400 F for conventional 40 s/f glazed collectors. The Black Crystal absorber increases low-end performance. About 50 to 80%of pool area is needed in collector area depending on needs. Pricing for Individual Components Currently balance of system components such as pumps, fittings etc. will need to be purchased separately
Standard Color is Musket Brown (CO101), with a Free option of Dove (Medium) Gray (C109) (Other color options are available at an extra cost)
