solar energy.
The sun produces constant power
of roughly 1000 W/m². It is not
hard to see that using this energy
for potable water and heating
support can be of interest in
domestic as well as in industrial
applications.
Watts Industries researches and
develops products for this special
sector on a daily basis: control
and pump modules, control
devices, safety and air release
valves, expansion tanks etc.

The energy from the liquid in the
collectors is either made available
for direct use through a group of
controllers (FlowBox Series) or
The collecting system using
several water storage tanks is
indispensible as the consumer’s
energy demand does not always
coincide with the times that the
energy is produced by the
equipment.
The choice of a good solar
heating control is therefore
crucial to increase the yield of the
solar heating system and to ensure
optimum operation even on days
when the effect of the sun is
changeable.
Watts Industries offers a number
of models of electronic control

Graphics and LEDs on the control
devices give information on the
following values: temperature of
the liquid in the collecting tank,
heat difference between the solar
collector and control system, solar
collector temperature, liquid
temperature at the bottom of the
tank, operating status of the pump.
If the solar collector temperature
exceeds the temperature inside
the water tank because of the
effects of the sun, the circulation
pump which is integrated into the
FlowBox Solar is brought into
operation by the control system.
A thermostatic mixing valve
(MMV-S Series) enables the hot
liquid in the tank to be released for
use at a predetermined
temperature of between 30 and
65°C.
