1.0 Introduction
The EnerWorks Thermal Energy Controller and Thermal Energy Monitor
work together to display how much money, energy, and carbon dioxide you are
saving by installing an EnerWorks Solar Water Heating Appliance. Your
commitment to the environment is now demonstrable – you can be green and
show it off, too!
The Thermal Energy Controller is a control unit that is integrated into the
Energy Pack, performing control functions while also monitoring performance.
Using wireless transmission, the Thermal Energy Controller sends information to
the Thermal Energy Monitor. The Thermal Energy Monitor then displays these
data so that you can observe the performance of the system from anywhere in
your home.
So that a household is never without hot water, a backup or “auxiliary”
tank must be in place in case there is not enough solar energy to meet the
demand of the household. The four major fuels for water-heating in North
America are electricity, natural gas, propane, and oil.
