Living Green, Saving Green

If you’ve been looking for a way to live a “greener” lifestyle, installing a PREMIER® solar water heating system in your home is a great way to start. Consider the facts: water heating accounts for 14% to 25% of the total energy consumed in a home. They are second only to air conditioning and heating systems in household energy consumption. With Solar Energy Factor (SEF) ratings up to 10.1, a PREMIER® solar water heating

How Do PREMIER® Systems Work?

PREMIER® Solar Water Heater Systems utilize energy from the sun to provide hot water. System components include: ① solar thermal collectors mounted on a south facing roof, ② solar loop piping, ③ an integrated solar pump station, ④ a solar loop expansion tank, ⑤ a solar booster tank and ⑥ a heat exchanger. The sun heats a transfer ﬂ uid ﬂ owing through the solar collectors. The

system can provide up to 70% of the energy needed for heating water directly from the sun. PREMIER® systems are OG-300 certiﬁ ed by the Solar Rating and Certiﬁ cation Corporation (SRCC), which means they are eligible for many state, local and utility rebate programs in addition to Federal tax credits. PREMIER® has a great impact on the environment and your wallet!

heat transfer ﬂ uid is a mixture of distilled water and non-toxic propylene glycol to prevent freezing in the winter . The integrated pump station circulates the heat transfer ﬂ uid through the solar loop piping to a heat exchanger where the heat energy is transferred to the water inside a solar booster tank.

All Solar Collectors Are Not Created Equal

Backed by over 40 years of expertise Chromagen™ has ﬁ ne-tuned the design and manufacture of solar collectors to an art. Collectors are assembled using the highest quality materials and advanced techniques, which result in highly efﬁ cient, durable products you can depend on for years to come.

• Optimal heat absorption and efﬁ ciency.

• Riser tubes are laser welded to the absorber plate which ensures optimum heat transfer and permanent bond.

• Three insulation layers provide a cumulative thermal resistance value of R-8.

1. Low-iron patterned and tempered glazing provides superior strength, anti-glare surface and 91% solar transmittance.

2. Aluminum absorber plate with spectrally selective black coating provides more than 90% solar absorption and less than 40% IR emission for high performance even in cooler climates.

3. Rugged nylon glass ﬁ ber moldings on all four corners protect collectors and adjacent property from damage during transport and installation.

4. 1-1/8 inch outside diameter (O.D.) copper sweat inlet/outlet connections.

5. Glass wool insulation layer

6. Black anodized extruded aluminum casing - interlocking construction assembly - requires no fasteners that loosen over time and allow moisture inﬁ ltration.

7. Integrated aluminum foil insulation barrier.

8. Injected rigid Polyurethane foam insulation layer.

9. Durable black Polypropylene backsheet - resists punctures during transport and installation, resists corrosion for the life of the collectors.

10. Type M copper risers 5/8” and manifolds 1-1/8” are brazed together in a parallel tube conﬁ guration

- ensuring optimal ﬂ ow and a low pressure drop. Collectors may be installed in portrait or landscape or ientation.

Double Wall Pump Station

Integrated Solar Pump Stations

All-in-one integrated, insulated assembly features:

• Clean professional looking installation.

Standard Pump Station

• Saves time and money.

• Programmable electronic solar system control with advanced diagnostics and LCD display.

• Precise ﬂ ow control - multipe speeds pumps, ﬂ ow control valves and variable speed controls.

• Flow meter, temperature and pressure gauges.

• Solar loop pressure relief valve.

• Isolation valves, ﬁ ll and drain valves, check valves and an air stripper.

• Standard pump stations are used with indirect solar booster tanks that have factory installed internal single wall coil-type heat exchangers.

• Double wall pump stations are equipped with plate-type stainless steel heat exchangers (double wall) and two circulation pumps; one for potable water and one for the heat transfer ﬂ uid in the solar loop. They are used with direct solar booster tanks.

Solar System Packages and Solar Booster Tanks

Standard and Deluxe solar system packages are available, see the comparison table below. Use our Solar Sizing Guide to determine the number of solar collectors and solar booster tank needed. Order a system package that meets the sizing needs making sure double wall heat exchanger systems are ordered when required by local building codes. Order the required solar booster tank separately to complete the system.
