2,Why is knowing the insolation level useful?By knowing the insolation
levels of a particular region we can determine the size of solar collector that
is required. An area with poor insolation levels will need a larger collector
than an area with high insolation levels. Once you know your region's
insolation level you can more accurately calculate collector size and energy
output.
3,What units are used to express Insolation levels?The values are generally expressed in kWh/m2/day. This is
the amount of solar energy that strikes a square metre of the earth's surface
in a single day. Of course this value is averaged to account for differences in
the days' length. There are several units that are used throughout the worldThe conversions based on surface area as follows:1 kWh/m2/day = 317.1 btu/ft2/day = 3.6MJ/m2/day

● The Solar Loop operates
normally with a Differential Differential Controller to heat the Twin Coil Tank through the bottom
heat exchange coil.
● In the Radiant
Underfloor Loop the pump activates through the zone valves when either Room
Thermostat calls for heat.
● This loop flows through
the top coil in the tank. If the upper tank is below, say, 130ºF boiler
controller redirects the flow through the boiler, activating the boiler at the
same time. This preserves hot water in the tank for domestic use.
● The bypass,
incorporating a Mixing Valve and check valve, ensures that the floor system
cannot overheat by mechanically recirculating it when a set temperature is
reached.
● Normally the set
temperature of the immersion heater (just below the top coil in the tank) is
set far enough below the boiler set temperature to ensure that the radiant
system only takes the solar heat from the tank. In emergencies the immersion
heater could be used to supplement the floor heat by raising the immersion
heater set point.
