Why are Thermodynamic panels so efficient compared to traditional panels?
In the past solar panels have only been effective on sunny days, Thermodynamic Panels work day and night whether its sun, clouds, rain or snow.
Unlike traditional solar systems, the new Thermodynamic solar systems use “reverse refrigeration technology”. The carrier fluid is neither water or glycol but a simple refrigeration gas just like in a household refrigerator.
The refrigeration liquid transforms into a gas within the panel, it then passes to the thermal block which compresses the gas, this causes it to heat up. The gas then passes through the thermal exchanger in the tank, the water within that tank is then heated. The refrigeration gas then cools down and circulates back to the panel to repeat the heating process.
For those who have larger heating systems more panels are need to manage the high demand for heating and hot water. In this case the thermal block has it’s own heat exchanger and is a stand alone unit. The heated water can then be circulated within the domestic hot water tank through a coil. Installing a larger water tank is often necessary to accommodate the large amount of hot water being produced.
