How it works.

Solaeris- Solar Thermal Air Conditioners.

This is a simple breakdown of how our solar air conditioners work. The solar thermal panel on the left is the key, with the condenser and split unit completing the other two parts of the system.

Basically, the solar thermal panel uses the sun’s power to increase the temperature and speed of the hot refrigerant as it exits the compressor.

A conventional air conditioner uses an electrical mechanical device (compressor) to create pressure and heat to make the refrigerant hot.

We use the solar panel along with the radiation from the sun to accomplish the same task and the end result is SIGNIFICANTLY less electricity is needed to operate your air conditioning.

It’s not rocket science, but it is very effective.

This system when tested against a single split unit was more 70% more efficient than a standard air conditioner.

In a commercial application ( buildings , cooling plants etc) the savings can be immense.

Test was conducted by RTE (Pty) Ltd – Registered M&V experts in late 2013.
