Alfa laval, multinational specialized in equipment and solutions for industrial processes, has launched a new system for heating tap water in housing: AquaMicro, which is supplied from solar energy to supply hot water of a constant, secure and economic.
The new system created by Alfa Laval is based on two circuits of water separated, joined through a plate heat exchanger. The heat of the circuit of solar collectors is transferred to the general circuit of hot water that runs through the building. On each floor, the heat of this circuit is picked up by a team AquaMicro, the water preheater patented by Alfa Laval, which heats the incoming water immediately.
The installation benefits both owners and tenants. Solar heat more effectively in the whole of the building is used with the solar kit AquaMicro installed in each home. Houses always have hot water instantly and as fresh as the cold incoming water, with which there is no risk of spread of Legionella.
