What are the disadvantages of solar water heaters?

i think that they would probably not work without the sun and in addition to this i dont think they would make us much heat as the other heaters eg convectional heaters


Do solar pool heaters work?

Yes, they are well worth the cost.


Were do you put water for the heater on a 1999 reg corsa?

To make your heaters work, make sure you have water in the water tank under the bonnet. You cant miss it. I had that problem with a corsa sxi, I didnt have any water in the tank hense my heaters wouldn't work.


Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?

Yes, solar energy can be converted into thermal energy passively through techniques like solar water heaters or concentrating solar power systems. These systems absorb sunlight and directly generate heat without the need for mechanical work.


What are the comparative advantages and disadvantages of electric and solar water heaters?

Solar hot water heaters need sunlight to work. While you can store the heat and create closed loop systems that protect the system from freezing, the use of solar hot water heaters really makes sense if you have full sun exposure and are willing to moderate your usage. It also may cost more to install a domestic solar hot water system. These can run on 12v oe 11v for the pump, or you could go passive- there are many different types and options. Check Home Power mag. Electric hot water systems come in two flavors; tank and tankless. For electric tank systems, the cost of heating water with electricity can be quite large. These tank heaters store hot water and are using electricity just to keep the tank warm. This is not very efficient even with insulating blankets. Once you run out of hot water in the tank(as cold rushes in) your shower is over. The heater itself is usually inexpensive. Plumbing is straignt foward, with 30 to 40 amp 220V feed required. Tankless water heaters or "on demand" water heaters (both gas and electric) are fantastic! They are the least expensive to operate, and fairly simple to install. The electric tankless heater requires no exhust ducting and is perfect for under the counter usage or with larger units can heat the water for an entire home. The tankless design never runs out of water! These are perfect for solar installations that may encounter weeks of cloudy weather. The units are more expensive than tank heaters, and usually require 220v service (if electric). if your doing reseach on this great if not get a life losers


Will gas hot water heaters work without electricity?

Yes, they are GAS tanks, NOT electrical


How do gas water heaters work to provide hot water in a household?

Gas water heaters work by using a burner to heat water stored in a tank. When hot water is needed, the burner ignites and heats the water, which then rises to the top of the tank. As hot water is used, cold water enters the tank to be heated, ensuring a continuous supply of hot water for household use.


How do tankless water heater devices provide sufficient hot water?

Tankless water heaters work by quickly and efficiently heating water as it is demanded. They provide sufficient hot water because the heating implement goes on while water is turned on, avoiding the energy waste of tank water heaters.


How does an instant hot water dispenser work?

Unlike storage water heaters where a large quantity of water is kept heated all the time, the instant water heaters heat the water during passage. It does take a few seconds for hot water to reach but it save a lot of money while saving electricity.


What are immersion heaters used for?

Immersion heaters are used for heating water in a hot water tank. Immersion heaters are usually controlled by thermostat and they will heat your water to a set temperature for as long as you leave it on that setting, or you can have a timer set. It is usually an expensive way to heat water compared to central heating systems with hot water circuits.


How does a solar water heater work?

How does a solar water heater work?Solar water heaters do three basic operations before the hot water comes out of your faucet: 1. Energy Collection:Sunlight, short wave energy, is collected and converted to heat which is long wave energy energy. The solar collector is mounted on or near your home facing south. As the sunlight passes through the collector's plastic or glass "glazing," it strikes a metal or rubber absorbing material. This material converts the sunlight into long wave heat, and the glazing prevents the heat from escaping like a greenhouse. It is like leaving a car parked in the sun with its windows rolled up. The temperature inside a glazed solar collector on your roof can easily reach 300°F when there is no heat transfer fluid flowing through it. The most common types of solar collectors used in solar water heaters are glazed flat plate collectors. A glazed flat plate collector consists of a shallow rectangular box with a transparent plastic or glass "window" covering a flat black plate or selective "Chrome" coating. The black plate is attached to a series of parallel tubes or one serpentine tube through which water, or other heat transfer fluids pass. 2. Energy Transfer: Circulating fluids like water in an "Open Loop" or Propylene Glycol in a Closed Loop" transfer the collected energy in the form of heatto a storage tank. Heat energy is transferred from the collector to the water storage tank. In some water heaters, hot fluid is pumped from the collector to the storage tank. The pump is powered by electricity that either comes from an electrical wall outlet or a small photovoltaic module located beside the collector. 3. Energy Storage Solar-heated water is stored in an insulated tank until you need it. Hot water is drawn off the tank when tap water is used, and cold make-up water enters at the bottom of the tank. Solar water heaters tend to have a slightly larger hot water storage capacity than conventional water heaters. This is because solar heat is available only during the day and sufficient hot water must be collected to meet evening and morning requirements.


Is half inch water line sufficient for water supply for forced hot water baseboard heat?

Yes, 1/2 inch supply to fill boiler will work fine. Piping going to baseboard heaters needs to be sized properly. 1/2 inch piping to baseboard heaters not recommended. Most hot water baseboard heaters piped with 3/4 pipe.
