Closed loop systems can also be incorporated into houses with radiant floor heating systems. Radiant floors operate at a lower boiler temperature than baseboard hydronics. This allows the solar array to substantially assist in keeping the home warm and comfortable. Like our DHW systems, these systems include the G-series collectors. Other features include a pre-assembled pump/control board, and a non-pressurized heat exchange storage tank with separate heat exchangers for domestic hot water and space/pool heating. Collector, tank, radiant floor, and pool temperature can all be monitored via digital display.
