The Heat Locker: Advancing Solar Thermal Technology
What is Solar Thermal Energy
Solar thermal energy is a form of energy and a technology that converts solar radiant energy into heat energy. The efficiency and value of solar thermal systems are often measured by the temperature they can achieve - the higher the gained heat temperature, the higher the quality of the thermal energy collected.
The Bennifts of Solar Thermal Energy
Types of solar thermal energy systems
Solar thermal systems are diverse and widely used globally, categorized by heat value (low, medium, and high) and operational type. Most are designed for heat production, with some used for electrical generation. Low-temperature systems typically use solar collectors and heat transfer fluids, while medium and high-temperature systems, known as concentrating solar thermal systems, produce steam for turbine generators. Low-temperature systems are further classified into passive and active types, operating either in a pressurized state (closed-loop) or as (open loop) drain-back system. Pressurized systems maintain constant pressure, offering more benefits and reliability compared to drain-back systems, which operate only when solar heat is both available and needed.
The Heat Locker, developed by Solar Boiler, LLC, operates on pressurized system principles, capitalizing on the advantages of this design. It is specifically engineered for pressurized applications and is not intended for use in drain-back or concentrating system configurations. This focus on pressurized systems allows the Heat Locker to provide reliable and efficient solar thermal energy capture and utilization, addressing the limitations associated with drain-back systems while offering a robust solution for low-temperature solar thermal applications.

Pressurized Low temperature Solar Thermal System
How Low Temperature Soar Thermal Works
Solar thermal systems differ fundamentally from photovoltaic (PV) systems by converting solar radiation into heat energy rather than into electricity. These systems primarily consist of four key components: solar collectors to gather energy, a pump for fluid circulation, a storage tank, and heat transfer fluid to transport energy. The process begins with solar collectors converting solar radiation into heat, which is then absorbed by the heat transfer fluid. Through indirect heat exchange, this heated fluid transfers its energy to water, which is then stored or made available for immediate use. Solar thermal energy has diverse applications, including domestic hot water production, space heating, swimming pool and spa heating, and even some industrial and process heat applications. This versatile technology harnesses the sun's energy efficiently for various thermal needs, limited only by the availability of sunlight.

Flat Plate Collector
Drawbacks to Flat Plate Collector
Benefits of Evacuated Tube
A flat plate collector is a fundamental component of many solar thermal energy systems. It consists of an insulated box with a transparent cover, typically made of glass or plastic, on the front face. The back of the box contains a metal absorber plate, usually made of copper or aluminum with a dark, heat-absorbing coating. This metal absorber acts as a heat exchanger, efficiently capturing solar radiation and converting it to thermal energy. The heat is then transferred to a fluid circulating through tubes attached to the absorber plate. The transparent cover allows sunlight to enter while trapping heat inside, and the insulated box design minimizes heat loss to the environment. This simple yet effective structure makes flat plate collectors a choice for residential and commercial solar water heating systems, particularly in moderate climates.
How the Flat Plate Works
Drawbacks to Flat Plate Collector
Drawbacks to Flat Plate Collector
Flat plate collectors efficiently convert solar radiation into usable heat energy. Sunlight passes through the transparent cover, striking the dark metal absorber plate which converts it to heat. A series of fluid-filled tubes, acting as a heat exchanger, run across the back of this plate. As heat transfer fluid (typically water or glycol) circulates through these tubes, it absorbs heat from the plate. The heated fluid is then pumped to a thermal storage system, often a water tank, for later use. The insulated box and transparent cover design help minimize heat loss, enhancing the collector's overall efficiency in capturing and storing solar thermal energy for various applications.
Drawbacks to Flat Plate Collector
Drawbacks to Flat Plate Collector
Drawbacks to Flat Plate Collector
Flat plate collectors, while widely used, have several drawbacks. They operate less efficiently at high temperatures and in cold or cloudy conditions. Heat loss can be significant, especially in windy environments. The glass cover is vulnerable to damage, and snow accumulation can reduce efficiency in colder climates. Their fixed position limits optimal sun exposure throughout the day. Compared to evacuated tube collectors, they generally require more roof space for equivalent output. Additionally, they can experience heat loss at night if not properly isolated. These limitations make flat plate collectors less suitable for applications requiring high temperatures or consistent year-round efficiency across diverse weather conditions.
WHY WE CHOOSE EVACUATED TUBES COLLECTOR OVER THE FLAT PLATE
The Heat Locker & Evacuated Tube Collectors: A Match Made in Heaven!
The Heat Locker TDS advanced solar thermal pump station works with all pressurized solar collectors that meet our design specifications. Solar Boiler, LLC chooses the evacuated tube collector for its superior performance and efficiency, particularly in challenging conditions.
