Legionella safety: solar water heating twin coil cylinders.
Legionella safety in twin coil solar cylinders. Does your solar water heating system solar plumbing require a legionnella safety upgrade? Solar thermal technology surely needs to be safe regarding legionellosis, but this kind of solar cylinder is apparently NOT capable of being approved by the UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme and has even been condemned by several technical studies. But the solar industry loves it! Legionnellosis (Legionnaire’s disease) is a potentially lethal bacterial infection of the lungs which causes pmeumonia. It is generally contracted by inhaling contaminated water spray, not by person to person contact. People with weakened immune systems are the most susceptible to legionellosis. Legionellae infections kill approximately 10% of infected people. They also disable many survivors: some require extra oxygen for life. Most Legionella cases are not detected: medics think that about 90% of cases are “missed”, in that they are simply categorised more broadly as pneumonia. Legionella bacteria are very common in water. They mostly inhabit warm water, where they can grow fast. Fortunately they are killed by heat: slowly by heat at 50C and more quickly at 60C. This is why in UK, all stored water is normally heated to 60C: to stop them from growing to high numbers. One noticeable exception is solar twin coil cylinders, which probably comprise about 80% of UK’s domestic solar heating installations. The lower half of these hot water stores is usually not …

Which freezes faster, hot or cold water. A Science Experiment from Mr. Herbert
Will Hot Water freeze faster than Cold Water? These test experiments were done outside the laboratory and in the real time of -15 degrees below zero. The water must be thrown up, as the cold air easily surrounds the drops and freezes them. This experiment was the suggestion of my “Thermal Heat Pump expert”, Rick Stanton of Sibley Sheet Metal, Inc. He said hot water would freeze faster than cold water, so here we find out for sure. www.sibleysheetmetal.net I simply tried it and it worked. You don’t believe it, call Rick. This effect on liquids is called the Mpemba Effect. See: en.wikipedia.org Basically, the “Mpemba effect” is the observation that, in certain specific circumstances, warmer water freezes faster than colder water. Hope this stimulates your mind and is good for discussion. Now go get that A+ and thanks for attending my class and subscribing. Mr. Herbert

AO Smith Voltex Hybrid Electric Water Heater
AO Smith is taking energy efficiency to new heights with four new families of residential water heaters. Designed to provide homeowners with significant energy savings, these new products represent the latest advances in gas, gas hybrid, electric hybrid and solar thermal technology. The Voltex™ hybrid electric water heater features a new heat pump technology that makes it more than twice as efficient as a standard electric water heater. Voltex operates like an air conditioner in reverse, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the tank. The result is potentially a significant reduction in energy costs: $203 annually for a Voltex, compared to up to $575 for a conventional electric model. The Voltex is also eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of its total installed cost, up to a maximum of $1500. Many state and local utilities also have significant rebates for this technology. As a result, depending upon the application, this water heater can pay for itself in less than three years. Voltex is the only type of electric water heater that is ENERGY STAR® rated.
