I have a whole house heating system that has three solar panels attached the installer designed the system to be all glycol.
Buy glycol for solar panels.
Scrap metal yards are a good source for sh panels.
Prosol l ht is a clear yellow colored practically odorless liquid based on virgin not recycled propylene glycol water and specially designed industrial package of liquid inhibitors it has been designed specifically for use as a heat transfer fluid in solar thermal systems operating under elevated thermal conditions vacuum tube collectors.
My issue is that the glycol is proving very difficult to remove the air from when i purge the system with a charge pump it that the air does not separate easily from the glycol mix and stays in solution.
Always mix in as little glycol as possible to keep optimum efficiency but never risk burst pipes.
It has been designed especially for utilization fluid in solar heating equipment under elevated thermal conditions vacuum tube collectors.
Never use less than 20 glycol in the mix.
This is obviously catastrophic for any solar thermal installation and must be avoided.
Based on propylene glycol and reversibly evaporable inhibitors to prevent corrosion scaling and biological fouling.
Warning boiling water and steam these panels produce will ruin ur life should you get scolded.
The product comes as a pre mixed solution and requires no dilution.
Replace panel with another new or sh.
Never use more than 60 glycol in the mix.
Propylene glycol pg has become the most common heat transfer fluid used in closed loop solar heating systems that contain antifreeze.
It has a long track record over many decades in this application and is widely available from a number of sources.
For solar thermal applications mixtures based on propylene glycol or the green glycol are recommended.
Repair panel if it has copper tube risers.
The renewable green alternative to ethylene or propylene glycol has a slower thermal degradation rate than both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol and outperforms propylene glycol s viscosity at lower temperatures.
B suitable for solar heat recovery systems using evacuated tube flat plate and thermodynamic solar panels where a non toxic classification is preferred.
When you re choosing a glycol bear in mind the following.
The glycol is a clear red fluorescent liquid with a faint odor based on physiologically unobjectionable propylene glycol and water.
Less efficient than solaris dtx.
Replace both panels with something else.
