SolarChoice Heat Details
SolarChoice Heaters, introduced in October 2009, are among the newest applications of solar technology offered to consumer and commercial customers and certainly among the most unique. No other window treatment in the world can do what SolarChoice Heaters have been proven to do: Convert sunlight to heat and insulate that heat against loss. The creation of natural convection inside SolarChoice Heat heating vanes is what drives the performance of the company's heater. Convection draws cool air from a room up and into the clear plastic heating vanes. Convection also moves along the sun-heated aluminum insert. Hot air exits the top of each vane and into the room. In the spring of 2009 the University Of Minneapolis -Duluth department of engineering reported the results of their research into SolarChoice Heaters: 1) SolarChoice Heaters generate 5.5 BTU's of heat per square inch per 8 hour day. To illustrate this finding: A placement of Heaters over a standard, south-facing, 6'x8' sliding glass door would generate approximately 40,000 BTU's/day. 2) Average exit temperature of air from the heating vanes was measured to 120-degrees. The average intake temperature for testing was 60 degrees. 3) Air flow through the heating vanes was measured at 1.2 meters per second. Created by "chimney effect" this rate delivers air heated from 60 degrees to 120 degrees in less than a couple of seconds and ensures the continuous circulation of free, clean, warm air throughout the room. In January, 2010, Stork Materials Technology/Minneapolis reported the results of a study requested by an independent distributor of SolarChoice Heaters to measure the insulation value of the heating vanes. The vanes earned an R-value of 1.7 for heat insulation. A value of 1.7 approximates the insulation effectiveness of a double pane, gas-filled window (frequently an R-value of 2.0).
