Viessmann’s solar system simulation software ESOP NA 4.0
lets users simulate their specific solar system design and perform system
calculations to estimate the solar energy production, solar fraction, energy
savings, average CO2 reduction and more. The program comes with 12 standard
system configurations; ESOP includes climate data for locations across North America as well as product specifications for all
Viessmann solar collectors, storage tanks and boilers.www.viessmann.us
Beckett’s SolarHot
Upgrade To Solar
Beckett’s new SolarHot makes it easy to upgrade a new or
existing water heater to a state-of-the-art solar hot water system. This system
can provide up to 80 percent of DHW needs and can be integrated into a hydronic
heating system. Includes collector panels, a SolVelox complete pump package,
and the mounting and plumbing hardware necessary to connect to the water tank.www.beckettcorp.com
HBX Controls
SolarBloc Control
The HBX SolarBloc is designed for solar tube and solar panel
applications. Automatic differential is achieved using a variable-speed pump
and flow sensor. Built-in features control either the boiler backup or provide
capabilities for heat dump applications. Direct-connect fittings allow
contractors to reduce on-site installation times.www.hbxcontrols.com
Taco Solar X-Pump Block
Complete Solar Mixing System
The patent-pending Taco Solar X-Pump Block (SXPB) is a complete
solar mixing system, combining a variable-speed solar mixing control,
heat-source circulator and heat exchanger into a single unit. Its
stainless-steel, brazed-plate counterflow-style heat exchanger provides
complete system isolation between the heat creation source side of the system
(solar collector) and the heat sink side (storage tank).www.taco-hvac.com
Heliodyne Helio-Flo
All-In-One
Heliodyne introduces Helio-Flo, its newest, all-in-one heat
transfer appliance for use in open-loop systems or in conjunction with a
closed-loop integrated tank system. Comes factory assembled with all wiring,
plumbing and fittings complete to minimize installation time. Optional advanced
controller with built-in Wi-Fi technology allows for monitoring and automated
service features.www.heliodyne.com
Apricus
Plug-and-Play Solar
Apricus announced its solar thermal systems now feature a
new heat transfer unit and controller panel, simplifying installation and
metering. The monitoring panel comes pre-assembled along with the other Apricus
components. It will monitor the system’s flow rate and energy output, making it
a true plug-and-play device.www.apricus.com
