Eagle Sun™ Solar Hot Water Systems
Residential & Commercial Applications |
The EagleSun™ line of 80 & 120 gallon drainback solar water heating systems are designed for families with 3-5 members. EagleSun™ solar water heaters have fewer system components than any other active solar system available, making EagleSun™ more dependable and virtually maintenance free. A solar water heater by EagleSun™ will pay for itself several times over through energy savings. Taking full advantage of AET's exclusive Crystal Clear™ selective coating and unique energy distribution technology, the EagleSun™ achieves new levels of performance and efficiency.

| Open Loop Solar Water Heaters |
EagleSun™ Open Loop water heating systems are highly efficient due to the direct ciruclation of water from the storage tank to the collectors. As the water flows through the "open loop" during a typical day, it is heated and then stored in the insulated tank. Systems are usually sized to deliver 20 gallons of hot water per person per day. The system performs best in moderate climates such as the Southern United States and Tropical climates. The collectors and exposed piping are protected from freezing by a control recirculation feature that circulates warm water during freezing conditions. |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
| Closed Loop Solar Water Heaters |
| The EagleSun™ Closed Loop System offers excellent dependability and performance due to the finned copper heat exchanger coil in the tank bottom. As the sun shines on the collectors, non-toxic antifreeze is circulated through the "closed loop" by the pump and heat is transferred into the tank. The potable water in the tank never flows through the collectors. This prevents corrosion or scale buildup in hard water areas. These popular systems have proven to be dependable in installations across the U.S. and world wide. Freeze protection is assured due to the anitfreeze in the collectors and exposed piping. |

| Sav'n'Sun™ DX Drainback Retrofit Solar Water Heating Kit |
This small tank has a heat exhanger inside of it that you can just add to an existing storage tank to make any system solar heated without purchasing the special solar storage tank itself.
You read right - Turn your existing water heater into a solar hot water system! The component that makes the Sav'n'Sun™ DX Drainback system unique is the drainback reservoir with built-in heat exchanger. This allows the use of a lightweight glass-lined storage tank. The system collects heat by ciruclating water between the reservoir and collectors and simultaneously, between the storage tank and the heat exchanger inside the reservoir. Since only thermally efficient pure water is used, maximum safety and performance is assured. The DX System is ideally suited to cold regions with many freezing days each year or areas with aggressive water conditions. The simplicity of the drainback provides reliable operation that makes this system an asset to any home located in the colder climes. |

| Drainback Solar Water Heaters |
Three significant advantages make the EagleSun™ Drainback System one of the top performers in the U.S. in both total energy output and efficiency. The simple design eliminates many components. Only 100% drinking water is used in the closed loop instead of chemicals (antifreeze) so no maintenance is required. The collectors and exposed piping drain each time the pump is turned off, assuring freeze protection. Drainback is truly the Premier Solar System. |

|
| Space Heating |
EagleSun™ Space/DHW Systems are integrated systems capable of zone space heating and providing domestic hot water. Soalr high performing black chrome collectors heat multiple 120 gallon glass lined storage tanks through a drainback loop during the solar day. This stored energy is then called for by the fan coil unit thermostat and/or the differential control for the DHW storage tank. Backup elements are provided for heavy use or poor weather. For system capacity and sizing in your area. |

|
| Free Flow Thermosyphon Solar Water Heaters |
| The Free Flow Thermosyphon Systems operate on the simplest of principles - Gravity. As the sun shines on the solar collector, water inside is heated. This hot water is lighter than the cool water in the bottom of the tank and so is pushed by the cool water through the outlet pipe and into the tank for storage. This circulation continues throughout the day until the sun no longer shines on the collector. Since no pumps or controls are required, system installation costs are minimized. The effectiveness of thermosipon systems is time proven more than any other system in the world, and combined with Solar's collectors optimizes simplicity, performance and dependability. |
