Individually Engineered Energy Solutions for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Applications.
INTEGRATION WITH DUCTED HEATING
What is ducted heating?
- Heated air is blown directly into rooms via air ducts under the floor.
- Components include a main air intake, outlet vents in each room, a heater and fan to circulate the air.
How is solar energy integrated?
- Solar collectors heat a thermal reservoir (water tank).
- Heated water is pumped through a heat exchanger at the main air intake.
- The circulated air is thus heated by freely collected solar energy.
Limitations of ducted heating.
- Individual room control via thermostats is typically not included.
- Vents need to be individually opened and closed.
- Floor space is lost to make room for the air outlets.
- The heaters are typically noisy and they dry out the air.
