Heat Transfer Appliances for Commercial Solar Thermal

California based solar hot water manufacturer Heliodyne has introduced its newest line of Plug and Play heat transfer appliances, the Commercial Solar Station (HCOM). The HCOM is a packaged closed-loop heat transfer appliance for accommodating large solar hot water projects of up to 100 flat plate collectors with a single module, while still larger projects can combine modules in parallel for limitless sizing potential.

The HCOM was engineered by Heliodyne in order to offer installers a factory assembled, plug and play appliance that can work universally with any commercial project reducing all the design complexity associated with larger installations. “Commercial solar thermal systems can be complicated to the average solar professional. The HCOM eliminates a lot of the sizing and engineering guesswork making larger commercial projects an easier task.” comments Mike Starkey, head Engineer at Heliodyne.

The HCOM operates on the same principles as Heliodyne’s line of Residential closed loop heat transfer appliances, the Helio-Pak. Some notable features of the HCOM include “plug and play” installation, touch screen interface, advanced controller for remote Wi-Fi based monitoring and data storage, single/double wall heat exchanger and integrated variable speed pumps for system energy optimization. “We’re seeing a growing demand in solar thermal Commercial projects. We’re confident that with the simplicity of installing the HCOM, Commercial jobs will not only be an easier task for experienced installers, but also a viable option for less experienced installers new to Commercial solar” says Starkey.
