Thermal Mounting
30 years of experience and know-how as system provider
As solar-pioneers, we have been producing solar systems for hot water and heaters since 30 years. This extensive experience is also reflected in our mounting, both:
• On roof
• Free standing
On Roof - Fast, simple and safe - fit for any roof
Pre-assembled components for fast installation
The roof anchors are supplied with pre-assembled mounting parts for the collector rail. Collector clamping stones already are in place, and rail connectors with spacers on the pre-assembled screws assure a smooth insertion. With these completely pre-assembled components, the on-roof mounting work will be a simple, safe and economic affair for you.
TOP-mounting for easy handling
The three essential steps of the on-roof collector installation are now carried out from the top. The ingenious TOP-mounting saves your precious time!
Free Standing Mount - Pre-assembled, stepless adjustment -fit for almost any surface
Innovative mounting system for free standing setup
The mounting system EURO TRIC F brings out 30 years of experience in producing solar installations. It literally carries on a consistent improvement of all individual components. Convincing advantages are the high quality material, intelligent details and certifiable structural dimensioning in accordance with Eurocode 1.
Preassembled triangle mounts for fast installation
The mounts are made of bending resistant Wagner aluminium profiles and come completely pre-assembled. What's special: they are folded up when supplied, thus saving space, costs and allow for easy transportation. On site, the mounts only have to be opened to the required angle of inclination and fixed in place.
Variable installation on almost any surface
The EURO TRIC F system allows vertical or horizontal free standing installation of EURO collectors on nearly any flat or slanted surface. The angle of inclination can be adjusted quickly and steplessly between 35°-50°.
Information
Solar thermal collectors capture and retain heat from the sun and transfer this heat to a liquid. Two important physical principles govern the technology of solar thermal collectors:
Any hot object ultimately returns to thermal equilibrium with its environment, due to heat loss from the hot object. The processes that result in this heat loss are conduction, convection and radiation.[20] The efficiency of a solar thermal collector is directly related to heat losses from the collector surface (efficiency being defined as the proportion of heat energy that can be retained for a predefined period of time). Within the context of a solar collector, convection and radiation are the most important sources of heat loss. Thermal insulation is used to slow down heat loss from a hot object to its environment. This is actually a direct manifestation of the Second law of thermodynamics but we may term this the 'equilibrium effect'.
Heat is lost more rapidly if the temperature difference between a hot object and its environment is larger. Heat loss is predominantly governed by the thermal gradient between the temperature of the collector surface and the ambient temperature. Conduction, convection as well as radiation occur more rapidly over large thermal gradients.[21] We may term this the 'delta-t effect'.
The most simple approach to solar heating of water is to simply mount a metal tank filled with water in a sunny place. The heat from the sun would then heat the metal tank and the water inside. Indeed, this was how the very first SWH systems worked more than a century ago.[3] However, this setup would be inefficient due to an oversight of the equilibrium effect, above: as soon as heating of the tank and water begins, the heat gained starts to be lost back into the environment, and this continues until the water in the tank reaches the ambient temperature. The challenge is therefore to limit the heat loss from the tank, thus delaying the time when thermal equilibrium is regained.
