THERMAFLEECE BRITISH WOOL INSULATION

FAQS about Sijimuge solar thermal insulation bracket

What is solar energy insulation?

By avoiding thermal losses through the rear and the sides of the collector, solar energy insulation optimizes the efficiency of the collector, enabling the maximum amount of collected heat to be transferred to the circulating fluid. ISOVER has developed a unique range of products designed specifically for solar applications.

Which insulation solutions are suitable for a single glazed collector?

From excellent thermal insulation to cost-efficiency in one solution, our U SOLAR insulation solutions based on ULTIMATE™ light stone wool, are suitable for flat single-glazed ventilated collectors, with standard or reflective glass, and working temperatures of up to 250°C.

Do solar thermal systems need pipe insulation?

In order for the entire solar thermal system to work efficiently, good pipe insulation is crucial. After all, the less heat is lost on the way from the rooftop collector to the buffer storage tank in the cellar, the more heating fuel is saved and with it CO 2. Insulate properly – but how? Most solar thermal systems are indirect.

What happens if a solar thermal system is not insulated?

If the pipes between the module and tank are poorly or not at all insulated, valuable heat is lost and the efficiency of the entire system is impaired. In an indirect solar thermal system, the pipes from the module act as a heat source for the hot water tank.

Which elastomer insulator is best for Solar System pipes?

Kaiflex Solar EPDM/Kaiflex EPDMplus is a good choice. This elastomer insulator is heat-resistant to +150 °C. This is very important for solar system pipes, because as the temperature of the fluid pipes rises above 100 °C, many other types of insulation melt or harden, thus losing their functionality.
