| Point of Solar Heat Integration |
A1) Heating of make-up water
|
|
| --> Integration how and where |
These collectors heat the water within two 512-gallon storage vessels, to go into the tankless propane water heater.
|
|
| --> Temperature range process |
|
|
| --> Temperature range solar loop (min/max), C° |
