  2. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    Unglazed collectors may be suitable in tropical or subtropical environments if domestic hot water needs to be heated by less than 20 °C (36 °F) over ambient temperature. Evacuated tube collectors have less aerodynamic drag, which may allow for a simpler installation on roofs in windy locations.

  3. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    In many climates, a solar hot water system can provide up to 85% of domestic hot water energy. This can include domestic non-electric concentrating solar thermal systems. In many northern European countries, combined hot water and space heating systems ( solar combisystems ) are used to provide 15 to 25% of home heating energy.

  4. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Water heating is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, hot water and water heated to steam have many uses. Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters ...

  5. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    The sun’s free energy can also be used to heat water to fulfil domestic hot water demands, such as the hot water that comes out of taps. Solar thermal water heating systems can provide approximately 50% of a property’s annual hot water demand (depending on the size of the property, its location etc) which in turn can help homeowners make ...

  6. Seasonal thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_thermal_energy...

    A number of homes and small apartment buildings have demonstrated combining a large internal water tank for heat storage with roof-mounted solar-thermal collectors. Storage temperatures of 90 °C (194 °F) are sufficient to supply both domestic hot water and space heating. The first such house was MIT Solar House #1, in 1939.

  7. Hot water storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_water_storage_tank

    A hot water storage tank (also called a hot water tank, thermal storage tank, hot water thermal storage unit, heat storage tank, hot water cylinder and geyser in South African English [ 1]) is a water tank used for storing hot water for space heating or domestic use. Water is a convenient heat storage medium because it has a high specific heat ...

  8. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    Tankless water heating. The inside of a hydraulically operated two-stage tankless heater, heated by single-phase electric power. The copper tank contains heating elements with 7.2 kW maximum power. Tankless water heaters — also called instantaneous, continuous flow, inline, flash, on-demand, or instant-on water heaters — are water heaters ...

  9. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

    A storage water heater, or a hot water system ( HWS ), is a domestic water heating appliance that uses a hot water storage tank to maximize water heating capacity and provide instantaneous delivery of hot water. [1] Conventional storage water heaters use a variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and electricity.
