Hi all i'm new to the forum and im not sure if this question has already been asked or not.

However...

My company is moving into Solar Thermal in addition to Solar PV and i have been given the task of making a Design Tool. Having only ever designed one Thermal System before, i'm stuck on how you would calculate the amount of glycol to put in a system.

Ive tried searching the internet but didnt find anything useful.

Cheers
 
Calculate Iv. Then times it by the percentage you want in decimal
 
100 %

As it comes out of the container.

I suggest a few training courses are required.

I joined the gas industry in 1986 and MASSIVE CHANGES HAVE EVOLVED.

Solar Thermal is new to me but I have attended courses and Im still learning.

As I have learnt through this helpful site.

Good luck with your new role.

kev.
 
Not always, get a lot of my gear from Barilla and it needs diluting to about 50/50

Idea: Add-on solar diverter hybrid
Hello all, I should start off by stating that I'm not in the industry - I'm just a DIYer with a "what-if" idea. Hybrid systems and solar diverters are nothing new, but as far as I can see the current hybrid systems all require a change of boiler and I'm going to propose a system which could use...
