Indirect solar system
The Energy To Meet Your Needs
In the thermal solar energy range A.O. Smith can offer you 2 kinds of installations.
Firstly the solar systems that use thermal solar energy combined with an intelligent control system that makes the installation very energy efficient. This kind of installation is controlled by a high efficiency solar gas water heater. The combination of condensing high efficiency with thermal solar energy integrated in one solution minimizes the gas consumption of the installation.
A.O. Smith also provides installations for smaller applications in the configuration of indirect solar systems. These solar systems consist of an indirect tank which is connected to an already existing central heating system or boiler.
For any system you choose, A.O. Smith can deliver the required parts and several accessories.

A.O. Smith also provides installations for smaller applications in the configuration of indirect solar systems. These solar systems consist of an indirect tank which is connected to an already existing central heating system or boiler. With use of several accessories you can create the perfect solution. Both the ITE and ITS can be part of a solar system. Both can be installed with or without drain back.
The heat exchanger in the ITE or ITS transfers the collected heat to the available water. The ITS is equipped with 2 heat exchangers. Both the collected solar heat as well as the heating from the central heating system or boiler transfer their heat into the same tank. Therefore the use of an ITS in this application can lead to more comfort.
An indirect system is controlled through a standard module integrated in the pump station. This module controls the system based on the temperature in the collector and the indirect tank. The module displays the temperatures at the sensors and the capacity of the pump.
The choice for the correct pump station for a specific installation is based on the number of collectors and/or the length of the piping. A.O. Smith has regular and large capacity pump stations. Dependant on the choice of installation, the pump stations are available for installation with or without drain back system.
To help you assemble your solar installation you will find several options on the following pages. These options are divided into applications with or without drain back system. This drain back system prevents stagnation temperatures which boosts the life of your installation.
Under the installation drawing of a specific installation you will find a table in which the required parts are marked. These parts have a corresponding letter which helps you find the parts on the pages. The accessories that you can apply to the installation
