A look at Thermodynamics

Making a World of Difference

In today’s world, the demands on diminishing natural resources such as gas, oil and coal is growing at an alarming rate:

• Demand is outstripping supply which means energy prices continue to rise• Household finances are being squeezed and the opportunity to invest money

with significant returns are limited• The world needs to think and act differently if we are to protect future

generations and the Kyoto Agreement means that the UK government is right behind renewable energy products

• If you’d like to save money (up to 80% off your energy costs), reduce the amount of fossil fuels you use and lower your carbon dioxide emissions, ACT now

Misconceptions• Renewable energy products don’t work when it is raining, snowing or

cloudy• I’d be better to wait to install in a few years time• They are expensive to run and take too long to get payback• The products are inefficient and unproven• They don’t help the environment• They require planning permission

• Acceptable sales and marketing techniques• Arrangements for installing and connecting the system(s)• The selection and quality of the goods supplied• Details of the conditions of business that apply• The standard of any installation and other on-site work• Guarantees, and any maintenance and after sale-service

needed• What action will be taken to deal with any problems, and

arrangements for monitoring and continuously improving the code

Products• As we are independent, we are totally agnostic in our approach. Rather than

focussing on all renewable energy products, we focus and promote products we believe are more accessible for local customers, making a real difference to the environment and our customers finances.

• Thermodynamics

What is Thermodynamics and how does it work? Part 1

• The aluminium panel circulates the refrigerant liquid where energy is absorbed from the ambient temperature.

• This transforms the liquid into a gas, which carries the heat energy to the Thermodynamic Block.

• The Thermodynamic Block compresses the gas which increases the temperature.

What is Thermodynamics and how does it work? Part 2

• Using a heat exchanger the water in the cylinder is heated• The spent gas reverts back to a liquid which flows back in the

panel, allowing the process to repeat • This flow continues until the water in the cylinder reaches 55oC. • Once this is achieved the system goes into standby mode.

Benefits

• Tested proven technology • Works day and night all year long • Generates hot water in all weather • Minimum maintenance required • Significantly reduces carbon emissions • Heats water to 55OC • Works down to -15% external temperature• Panel can be mounted on external walls or roof • 5 year manufacturers guarantee

The Panel
