Rheem RS47-21BP N/A Solaraide 47 Gallon Passive Solar Water Heater Description

Solaraide Collection Residential Passive Solar Water Heater with 21.35 square feet total collector area and 47 Gallon TankRheem s closed loop passive solar water heating system.Closed Loop vs. Open LoopIn a closed loop system another fluid (usually a glycol-water antifreeze mixture) is heated up by the solar collector. The storage tank has a heat exchanger that transfers the heat from the other fluid to the water for household use. In an open loop system the water would travel through the solar collector to be heated. The disadvantage of an open loop system is that if the weather drops below freezing then the pipes can burst from the water freezing.Active Solar vs. Passive SolarActive solar systems rely on external electrical or mechanical equipment (such as a pump) to assist in converting the solar energy for use. A passive solar system does not use external energy sources, it relies on the solar properties of the system to operate. The SystemWith the passive solar design no pumps or controllers are required. The complete system includes tank, collector, installation kit, and heat transfer fluid.The TankThe single wall external heat exchanger completely surrounds the storage tank. The tank is rugged steel with a vitreous enamel tank lining. Included is an immersion, copper sheath backup element.The CollectorThe collector is a flat plate design and features 35 multi-flow risers for faster heat transfer. The collector absorber coating is black polyester powder coat.Features:System: 97-1/2" L x 58-1/2" WTank: 58.5" x 20.1" x 20.1"Collector: 76.3" x40.3" x 3.04"Specifications:Tank Capacity: 47 GallonsSolar Energy Factor: 1.3Number of Collector Panels: 1Working Pressure (Tank) : 145 PSI
