Описание: Zane Solar Advantages

1974 Zane invented and later patented their concept of a solar strip absorber system which forms the basis of most solar pool heating systems used in the world today.

A great deal of experimental research, development and independent scientific ‘in situ’ testing has gone into the refinement of the Zane solar absorber.

The result is a totally superior solar absorber which enjoys an expected service life of over 30 years.

The compound used in the solar absorber is light and resilient and highly durable and has proven resistance to the harsh conditions encountered in solar pool heating.

In an exhaustive selection process many different shapes were considered and rejected one by one. Only the present design has met all the pre-determined criteria and this was finally recognized by the Australian Design Council who awarded Zane an Australian design award and nominated the system as a finalist for the Prince Phillip Award for design excellence – the only product in our field to be so recognized.

Superior Performance

Zane is acknowledged as the leader in world solar heating. No other system even comes close in the transfer of energy. Whilst other companies’ salespersons will tell you their system is the best performer, no independently conducted test has shown better heat transfer per square metre of solar collector than Zane Solar Pool Heating.

Superior Endurance

With Zane’s patented Flexilock Fittings, a Zane owner can rely indefinitely on a totally leak-free system. Where other systems rely simply on the tensile strength of the black rubber absorber to grip the joiners, Zane provides a locking sleeve to give a long=term guarantee against leaks at the manifold. Other systems will leak at this point as ultrav-violet degradation hardens the rubber absorber. Rusty roofs, gutters and downpipes can result from this poor attention to design. Zane’s sleeves establish a strong mechanical bond and protect the absorber from any UV degradation.

Superior Absorber Material

First there was PVC; then EPDM; today Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) is the very bester material for swimming pool solar heating. On both commercial and indoor pools PVC and EPDM have been shown to have serious shortcomings resulting the total replacement of the absorber frequently being required after a very short time. In 1984 Zane’s Research and Development Department formulated TPR, an expensive polymer comprising 14 chemical elements recommended by I.C.I Extensive testing shows that TPR is stronger, longer lasting and resistant to chemical, fungal and bacterial breakdown that caused the earlier problems. TPR absorber has been used on domestic and commercial projects since 1986 without a problem and is not the material recommended by all major swimming pool solar heating companies throughout Australia.

Superior Control Equipment

Zane’s unique ZX3000 controller takes over complete management of the plant room, operating pump, filter and chlorination equipment – it minimizes filtration running time during its solar/time-clock operation.

This simplified operation, guarantees adequately sanitized (safe) water and actually saves considerable power running costs.

‘Flexilok’ working under pressure

It has been long recognized in the solar industry that the critical part of any solar system is at the point where the solar absorber tubes are connected into the manifold system.

Many techniques have been tried and found wanting, including gluing, solvent welding, high frequency welding and heat welding.

In time, connections became brittle and failed because they could not tolerate the constant movement caused by:

• thermal expansion and contraction of dissimilar materials
• Expansion and contraction of the roof structure
• Movement caused by wind
