Whether we are pushing for our own ecological thinking or the idea of how to save it, the truth is that the time is coming when it's time to get stuck. Especially in energy needs. It can be started when the water is heated in the pool or the shower in the garden. An excellent source of energy for water heating is solar radiation, so why not use it effectively, especially if this source is almost inexhaustible.
The sun as a source of energy
The amount of solar radiation and, therefore, solar energy depends on the climatic conditions of the area. But it is proven that it can be used not only in areas with long sunshine, but also in areas at higher altitudes.
What is a thermal solar system?
It is a device that uses solar energy from the solar collector to convert it to thermal energy. The base unit consists of a solar collector, a heat storage tank and a solar circuit. So the solar system can not only heat water to the pool or garden shower.
Swimming pool water heating
Water heating in the
garden pool represents a very simple, yet efficient, solar system. In contrast to other
solar heaters, pool water has many benefits. First of all, that the amount of solar energy matches its needs. Why, in which season do we use the pool the most? In the summer, when the sun is the most intense. The heat storage tank for water heating, then features a swimming pool filled with water.
Solar sail
The easiest device for heating pool water is the so-called solar sail. It is a polyethylene sail. This sail has a bubble structure on the surface. It is important to put it on the pool surface bubbles down. The bubbles then work like a magnifying glass over which the sun warms the pool water. In addition, solar sail prevents heat from escaping, evaporating water and prevents contaminants from entering the pool.
Solar pool systems
Solar water heaters have either a panel shape or a so-called pyramid. Both systems work very similarly. The cold water from the pool is pumped through the filter system into the solar system, where it gets warmer and warmer returns to the pool. But it also depends on the flow rate of the water through the panel. The water flow rate can be influenced by the filter device and the circulating pump.
