RUNNING PRINCIPLE
The thermodynamic solar system
Eco
, is an equipment based upon the principle of cooling by compression –
Principle of Carnot – which we designate
Thermodynamic Solar Systems
: solar panel and heat-pump. The
solar panel
, the main component, placed outside, is in charge of collecting the energy from:
Diffuse and direct solar radiation.
External air, by natural convection.
The wind effect (almost invariably available).
Rainwater.
The temperature gradient caused by the external agents mentioned, ensures the
klea
(ecological cooling
fluid) will evaporate inside the solar panel.
The absence of glass in the panel allows for an increased thermal exchange by convection.
After circulation in the panel, the klea is aspirated by the system’s mechanical component, the
compressor
,
which will increase its temperature and pressure; it is then transferred to the water circuit through a
heat
exchanger
.
Before the Klea returns to the solar panel it is necessary that there should be a narrowing, that is, reduce the
pressure and ensure that it is again in a liquid state, thus completing the cycle.
The easy way we combine technology with a law of Nature (change of state of a fluid), demonstrates the
true potential of the SST-Eco.
