Integrated Solar Systems: A solar system works on Liters per day basis i.e., the water heats up due to Sun light in day time and the heated water is collected in the storage tank provided. When some quantity of water is drawn / used, cold water enters into the tank and passes through the panels and pushes the hot water. In the process, when cold water enters the tank the hot water temperature is decreased to some extent or may be in winter or rainy season or in cloudy weather. Our Integrated Solar System comes into picture now. A Centralised Water Heating System (Electrical geyser / Biomass / Diesel fired / gas fired boiler) is connected in between the output of Solar and utility connection. The CWHS checks the temperature and heats up water if only necessary.
Advantages:
1. Hot water any time, any weather.
2. No additional piping / plumbing required for individual geyser in all utilities hence saves a lot of money.
3. Investment on small geysers in bathrooms avoided and also its maintenance.
4. Cost effective.
5. Easy maintenance.
6. Bathroom aesthetics isn’t disturbed.
Recycling process: Water is precious. We are in a situation where we cannot afford to waste water. This process saves a lot of precious water.
When a person opens the tap for hot water, he / she doesn’t get hot water instantly as the water in pipeline right from the heating equipment till the tap contains cold/ lukewarm water. And usually this water is wasted till the hot water is gained.
Recirculation process involves a pump which pumps the cold / lukewarm water back to the heating equipment in regular time of cycle set. And one gets hot water instantly.
Advantages:
1. Instant hot water is available.
2. Water isn’t wasted.
3. Doesn’t consume much electricity as the pump runs regularly once in a while.
Pressure Booster Pumps: Tank water drawn through taps/ showers by gravity usually suffices normal usage. But for rain showers / Jacuzzi / Body jets/ Shower panels require pressurized water. A pressure Booster pump serves the purpose.
