Heat with Solar Cool
How the heating system works
In heating mode the system works in almost the same way, but now the flow changes compared to the cooling mode. The additional free heating of the refrigerant in the solar panel allows the compressor to reduce its load and therefore its power consumption. Dependant on sun levels, COP figures (heating capacity vs power consumption) of over 8 are possible!
Again the more the sun shines, the more the solar panel takes over the compressing of the gas and the more power is saved, as the compressor now acts mainly as a pump providing the necessary cycle flow.
Due to the ultra UV absorbent design and glass vacuum tubing, the ambient external temperature has little if any impact on the temperature of the gas. The only natural element driving this positive process is the free energy provided by the suns rays.
The system is also fitted with the innovative Solar Bypass Valve. This allows the gas to bypass the panel in heating mode, when the sun is non-existent. i.e. night-time and heavy raincloud.
