Solar Heat Dissipater
The Apricus HD-25 is an air to water radiator
designed to dissipate the energy produced
by one AP-30 collector.
Heat dissipation may be necessary when
solar thermal systems are designed for space
heating applications which may produce
more energy than is needed during warmer
seasons, or for systems where there is an
irregular or low summer demand, for
example, schools, holiday homes and sports
clubs.
The Apricus HD-25 is an ideal solution to
protect from excessive overheating and can
prevent premature ageing of the heat-
transfer fluids used in the solar loop.
