High densitypolyurethane insulation stops theconduction and convection and the integralsilver foil stops radiation. The combinedresult of the Sunshields and the highefficiency insulation is the maintaining of aneven temperature during day and night.

• Chillers and Cooling CoilsCan be fitted to cool the water in the tankto ensure it remains lower than ambientday time temperatures when units areinstalled in hot climates.
