1. Vaillant’s closed loop system utilizes a propylene glycol liquid to protect against freezing and hard water. The sun warms the liquid in the solar collector on the roof.
2. The liquid is pumped down to the solar tank where the heat exchange transfers the heat to the domestic water.
3. As you use hot water in your home, the hot water in the solar tank flows into your existing water heater. Because the water is already hot, your water heater doesn’t have to work as hard.
4. The solar station monitors the temperature of the liquid in the collectors on the roof compared to the water temperature in the solar tank and continues the transfer process until the desired temperature is reached.
5. The solar hot water is ready for use in the home.
