Solar technologies use the sun’s energy to provide electricity, hot water, process heat and cooling. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, solar power presently provides only 2.3% of U.S. energy needs, but this is expected to increase with the development of more efficient solar technologies. One way to enhance solar power efficiency is through the use of level and flow instrumentation to drive process improvement.
Hot Water Storage: High-temperature solar water heaters provide energy-efficient hot water and heat for large industrial facilities. Thermal storage in buffer tanks provides interfaces between collector subsystems and energy-using systems. The preferred solar storage vessel is a vertical cylindrical tank designed for the maximum pressure of the supply water source, which may be as high as 150 psi.
Recommended Continuous Level Technologies: Displacer Controller, Guided Wave Radar
Recommended Point Level Technologies: External Cage Float
Pump Protection: Flow switches protect pumps from damage due to leaks or if a valve is accidentally closed downstream. A flow switch will actuate an alarm and shut down the pump when flow drops below the minimum rate.
Flow Alarm: Thermal Dispersion Flow Switch for High/Low Alarm, or Flow Switch
