A Solar Heat Exchanger Can Save You Money

By Linda Maynard


There are a lot of different ways for people to conserve energy and be considered a "green" home. Much of these methods involved using reusable energy or something that can be reused or taken from nothing . Such is the case for when you use a solar heat exchanger to heat the water in your home or to heat the home itself.

For some people it is more than just saving money it comes down to helping the planet. There is a very big movement to push the non renewable energy out and replace it with renewable energy sources. The more fossil fuels we use up the less we will have in the future. These do not come back once they are expended and that is what worries people.

So with all of us paying more and more money to heat and cool our homes or to make hot water we have to find ways to save money. The other alternative is for us to make our own energy and that is just not possible unless you are an engineer with tons of money. Since we are all regular people, we have to look at what we have available to us.

This means using things like solar power or a solar heat exchanger. These are great little devices that take energy from and convert that energy to heat that we can use to make hot water. This can give us all a great amount of savings all year round. There are a couple kinds of exchangers and technologies used to make this happen.

The first is a liquid to liquid method. With this method there is a chemical liquid that circulates through the pipes of the machine. As the solar panels gather sunlight and create heat in the coils where the chemical liquid is, that now hot liquid circulates around and makes its way to a tank that holds your water.

The heated chemical filled pipes now circulate around the water tank and then end up heating the water inside. The other methods essentially work the same way but they just use different things to heat things. This is why they are called exchangers. One thing gets heated, transfers the heat to something else and then gets heated again and repeats the entire process.

The methods used are very good, clean, and very efficient. They do not use a lot of energy to do the job they do and at the same time they create a lot of energy. This is why so many people are now buying and installing these into their homes. The government is also now giving tax breaks to people who are making energy saving changes.

A solar heat exchanger is a great way to get into the solar power movement and to help with the planets need for renewable energy. We all need to do what we can and to do our part. In doing so we are at least doing something and we need to all put in something. If we do nothing then nothing will ever get done.
