Innovation and high performance

Innovation based on experience... the next generation of solar thermal collector. Designed specifically for the domestic and commercial hot water requirements for 21st Century living. Superbly engineered, meeting both US and EU solar thermal standards, these collectors combine outstanding performance with value for money.

Why are they so much better?

This new, advanced solar thermal collector integrates a British designed, all copper, high efficiency heat exchanger. This is combined with super heat-pipes for faster hot water and centrally located heat-pipes for faster installation.

Unlike any other copper heat exchanger used in the assembly of evacuated tube heat pipe collectors, we have engineered the 35mm high grade copper tube so that 100% of the heat generated through the condenser of the heat pipe is released within the water volume inside the copper tube. Simply more efficient.

No auto air vent is required as the venting of the collector is completed when the pump comes on, sending the air and water into the thermal store to vent. No filling loops or pressure kits are required. Simple and safe.

It is also possible to further enhance the cost benefits and the positive environmental impact of this system by converting it to 100% solar power. We can integrate a solar powered digital controller and 12 volt pump with AC back up at night.

sunpack heat pumps

Providing up to 80% of your hot water free! A simple principle and an efficient way of using energy from the sun, the wind and the rain. The SunPack Heat Pump works on a thermodynamic principle and is based on the use of an evaporator panel. This panel captures the free energy which exists in direct and diffuse solar radiation, the rain and the wind. The energy is then transferred to a heat exchanger in the storage tank, heating the water inside at a cost approximately a fifth that of conventional systems.

• Made from anodized aluminium (black colour)
• High performance energy absorption, trapping as many free calories as possible
• Very resistant to bad weather conditions
• Attached to the exterior of the building (on the roof or a wall)
• No need for maintenance
• Uses R134a fluid (non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable and ozonefriendly)
• Panel manufactured by a certified company, with thirty years experience in the field.

With a power consumption of only 390W, the system can provide water at between 55ºC and 60ºC all year round, 24 hours per day, even on rainy days in the winter. Given that most of the energy is harnessed from Nature, up to 80% of all the hot water obtained is free, which will significantly reduce your energy bill.

airpack heat pumps

Providing up to 70% of your hot water free!

A simple principle and an efficient way of using the energy present in the air.

The AirPack system works on a thermodynamic principle by which the external panel is replaced by an evaporator incorporated into the equipment.

The evaporator captures the calorific energy present in the air via a process which also produces its dehumidification and then transfers it to the heat exchanger in the tank. In this way, water can be heated at a cost approximately a quarter that of conventional systems.

Consumption

With a consumption of only 455W, the system can provide water at between 55ºC and 60ºC, all year round, 24 hours a day, even during the winter.

Given that most of the energy is harnessed from Nature, up to 70% of all the hot water obtained is free, which will significantly reduce your energy bill.

• Easy, practical and quick to install
• Dehumidifies the air in the area where it is placed
• No need for an evaporator panel, nor for piping to be installed for refrigeration fluid
• Can be installed in a wide range of places (e.g. laundries, garages, conservatories), in flats, houses, institutional homes, nurseries, sports complexes, etc.
