Solar Geyser is used to heat water without using any fuel
or electricity.
Solar Geyser relies on warm water rising, a phenomenon known
as natural convection, to circulate water through the evacuated
glass tube collector and to the tank. Hot water storage tank
is located above the absorber evacuated glass tubes. As water
in the absorber heats, it becomes lighter and naturally rises
into the tank above. Meanwhile, cooler water in the tank flows
downwards into the absorber, thus causing circulation throughout
the system.
This trapped heat is used to raise the temperature of the
water running through the tubes up to 70% during the day time
and keeps it warm for the whole night due to insulation of
the thick wool layer on the storage tank which retain the
highest temperature. Solar collectors are successfully being
used for many purposes like water heating, space heating,
dehydration and desalination.
BMM designed solar water heating systems
to suit tropical, as well as high altitude sub-zero region.
These systems are suitable for hard and saline water.
Solar Geyser's Components
Absorber plates / collectors
Water circulating tubes
Glass cover
Insulated Storage Tank
Water Heating Capacity
Capacity of solar geyser is different based on the area of
collector and storage of tank. Normally solar geysers having
capacity of 100,200 and 400 liters per day are being used.
Applications
Solar geysers are used for domestic as well as industrial
applications such as hotels, hospitals, diaries, hostels,
nursing homes, feed water for boilers, process industries
etc.
