SPF released results of multiple stagnation testing over 12 months on TIGI’s collector
TIGI, the Honeycomb Collector Company, today announced that it has completed the installation of another commercial solar hot water system.
The system, a 25 m² collector array – was installed by Chen Liquid Heater Corp. Ltd. (a system integrator) in the Southern city of Arad, on the rooftop of a Unilever food factory. It is retrofitted to become part of an existing system generating heat energy for the industrial needs at the plant. The system is expected to provide close to 100% of the heat consumption required in summer days, and ~ 75% annual Solar Fraction for the commercial hot water process it serves.
The first few days of operation in cold winter days show excellent performance.
Mr. Daniel Coriat, System Integrator of Liquid Heating Corp. Ltd. Said: “We selected TIGI’s collector after a long assessment project we made during the design phase. After the initial run up period we are extremely happy with our choice. The collectors were very easy to install, and the integration process to the overall system was smooth and flawless. The initial output from the collectors seems to exceed our expectations. We look forward to working with TIGI in future projects”.
Zvika Klier, TIGI’s CEO, said “We are very excited about the completion of this commercial installation and for catering for the needs of such large industrial player. We are confident that our system’s high performance and overall attractive cost per kWh will lead to significant savings and quick Return of Investment for Unilever, and that this installation will serve as showcase for other factories with similar heat requirements. We expect to complete and report the installation of another large industrial solar installation early 2015”.
Moshe Ben-Yishai, TIGI’s VP of Sales, said “Our transparent insulation collector design is ideal for industrial and commercial applications where the target temperature range is 70-100 °C. The system also implements our patent-pending collector-level overheating protection as well as the sealed case design which will keep the Negev dust outside of the collector, ensuring long life of this highly performing system.”
