How Systems Work

 

Apricus solar collectors can be installed in many different configurations depending on your requirements, and type of house. The basic principal for all systems is the same.

1. The collector produces heat
2. A circulation pump pushes water through the collector, carrying away the heat.
3. The heat is transported to a storage tank, directly, or via a heat exchanger (internal or external). 

Below is a simple animated diagram of the collector operation. This diagram shows a direct system whereby the water in the collector is in open flow with the potable water that you would shower with. Such a system is used in warmer regions, where freezing is not an issue.
