Solar air collectors. SAC. The design and application.

Solar air collector (SAC) - a flat, glazed on one side. This work is glazed side facing the sun. The reverse side is designed for mounting and mounting and mounting the module on any surface.

On the sides of the module or on the reverse side there are technological holes for intake and output of heated air. Glazing is a special glass with a low content of impurities of iron (Fe). This module is designed for mounting either directly on any surface facing the sun (walls, roof) and on the skeleton, which in turn can be mounted in a suitable location (wall, roof, ground). The modules are designed to collect, convert solar radiation to heat the air used in the future for space heating.

Modules can be mounted to the group. The group of modules - the panel to build capacity of the system can have any dimensions that are multiples of the size of the modules. The size of the panel, starting with a certain level, introduces design constraints. 

Modules, mounting system, the frame, connecting hoses, automation elements constitute a system of additional stand-alone fuel free heating on the basis of the SAC. 

Main purpose of installing a heating system based on the SAC- reducing heating costs, increase the autonomy of the premises, housing.

The system is designed for space heating with sufficient solar irradiance in the absence of (or alongside) other energy sources (such as gas, electricity, liquid and solid fuels). The system can not be the main heating system, because it does not provide permanent characteristics, such as during the day and at change of seasons. However, the system can be integrated into any existing heating system and ventilation.

The result of integration of the system - reducing the cost of heating (with certain modifications and cooling), increasing the autonomy of the housing until the complete failure of external power sources.

Benefits - to provide a comfortable, self-contained, beztoplivnoy heating system with minimal costs for buying and for further maintenance and operation.

System based on the SAC has many uses:
Balcony apartment buildings, single, dual front modules, simple facade systems;
Single and dual roof modules, roofing systems are simple.
Yes. You were not mistaken. Solar air collectors can be mounted even on the balcony. And then you will have a balcony warmer (unless of course it is glazed and insulated). The collector will heat the air in the balcony. 
SAC also can be mounted on the facade. Or to collect on the facade of several modules, thus building up the power system.

And you can gather from the plain facade system modules, to make both insulated, beautiful facade of glass and simultaneously heating system with solar collectors.


Since the thickness of the module SAC does not exceed 15 cm, according to town planning rules and regulations, possible installation of these modules on the facade without permission. Installation of this module can be equated to conduct work on the facade insulation (eg foam or mineral wool). The cost and complexity of these works is approximately equal to the cost of work on the insulation of the facade, but may vary slightly depending on the complexity of a specific location (tall buildings, wall material, the complexity of the building facade, etc.).
