SFERASOL

TM

 is planned to produce sanitary warm water with the aid of the direct 

and di

 used solar energy. Water temperature supplied by a SFERASOL

TM

 panel 

depends on several external factors, varying according to the season, the place 
and the time of the day. 
Depending on weather conditions, the main parameters in

fl

 uencing SFERASOL

TM

 

e

  ciency parameters are feed water, solar energy and environmental tempera-

ture.
  
SFERASOL

TM

 surface heats the thermal liquid by means of the solar energy that 

circulates in the two hemispheres. The liquid is then conveyed to the internal 
exchanger heating the water contained in the boiler.

Water temperature of mains supply is not constant during the year.
During seasons with few sun exposure and low environmental temperature,  
SFERASOL

TM

 ensures pre-heating of water and must be supported by the main 

hot water heating system. 

As far as heating losses during night hours, these are minimized by the thermal 
insulation of the water accumulating tank.
In addition, the spherical shape of SFERASOL

TM

 panel allows an air formation in 

the captators which reduces any further thermal losses.
