World Class Centre in Solar Thermal EnergyFabrisolia S.L.U. makes available for the entire BDR Thermea Group a World Class Centre in Solar Thermal Energy in Castellbisbal (Barcelona), and it is the most modern solar panel manufacturing plant globally. With a 10,000 m2 area, it has a solar panel production capacity of up to 150,000 m2/year.

The company is the largest manufacturer and exporter of solar collectors in Spain, with 80% of its production allocated to international markets including Portugal, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Poland, and England, among others.

Thanks to the investments made by the Group and the com-pany’s commitment towards maintaining its leadership in the development of efficient climate solutions, the centre has be-come a benchmark across international markets.

It is the only Spanish factory in the private sector that owns a solar collectors and systems testing laboratory, certified, to receive samples from both solar panels and solar equipment. Moreover, the Group has significantly invested in R+D+i in recent years to get the latest advances in testing instruments, computer systems, human resources, and design material.

RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONSFlat Plate Solar Collectors

RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS / Flat Plate Solar Collectors 6

The application of solar thermal energy in single-family dwellings is the ideal solution for reducing home energy consumption through-out the year, since it can work both for heating domestic hot water and for heating swimming pools, as well as preheating water in central heating systems for heating support.

RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS / Solar Easy 14

SOLAR EASY DHWThe range of Solar Easy DHW systems represents a revolu-tionary new “Plug & Play” concept, ready to get the most benefit from solar thermal energy.

The smallest possible space houses the hydraulic set, the expansion tank and the control unit. Fully connected and wired to form a single whole.

The range comprises 14 different systems combining 160, 200, 300, 400 and 500 litre storage tanks, with the SOL 200, SOL 250, Mediterráneo SLIM 200 and Mediterráneo SLIM 250 collectors.

Benefits of the system:

• Easy to install: You only need to connect the pipe from the storage tank to the solar collectors.

• Minimum space required: The storage tank integrates all components needed for installation, thus taking up the minimum possible space.

• With overheating protection: There is no need to install any system for eliminating surplus heat, since it has a nighttime recirculation system for the elimination of surplus heat, as well as a built-in oversized expansion vessel.

• With antifreeze system: The control unit has a built-in pre-programmed anti-freeze system.

THERMOSYPHON SYSTEMS. STS 150/200 2.0/200 2.5/300The Thermosyphonic System is the ideal solution for pro-viding compact and low cost water heated by the action of sunlight, especially in areas with a high level of solar radia-tion and a suitable climate.

Fully autonomous operation of the thermosyphon is based on the principle of natural circulation, so there is no need for a circulator or a regulation system.

The bracket and fittings provided make it easy and conven-ient to install the equipment directly on a flat roof or on the same slope as a pitched roof.

A thermostatic mixer must be installed to combine tap water and hot water from the solar tank to achieve the most com-fortable water temperature.

SUPPLY FORMAT

OUR PRODUCT OFFERING IS COMPLETED WITH A SERIES OF ACCESSORIES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR SOLAR ENERGY INSTALLATIONS:

1. Our range comprises 18, 25, 35, 50 y 80 litre models. 2. The presence of air in the system is a major cause of reduced performance. We recommend to install this component

in order to eliminate air which may get in during the filling.3. We recommend it be installed in each row or battery of solar collectors. 4. Essential for all installations which do not have a Solar Hydraulic set. 5. Specially designed for solar energy installations using removable corrugated plates made of AISI 316 stainless steel. 6. It must be installed in systems with individual storage tanks in each dwelling to regulate efficient energy use. 7. In periods of absence or low DHW consumption, these systems can store hot water at temperatures above 60 °C. So it

is essential to incorporate a thermostatic mixing valve to protects the user of the system. 8. This is the fluid which transfers the heat produced in the system. It is essential also to protect the installation from

frosts and help maintain the performance and extend the life of system components.9. To facilitate the installation of solar equipment pipes are supplied properly insulated according to regulations,

complete with sensor cable. Four fixing clamps are also included.

Solar Thermal energy for Domestic Hot Water and space heating with gas boiler backup

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONSFlat Plate Solar Collectors

The application of solar thermal energy for the heating of sanitary hot water in residential buildings substantially increases the energy efficiency of the building, leading to significant savings.

Various solutions exist, depending on the type of building, to maximise the efficiency of the system.

The installation of solar thermal energy in hotels for both hot water and swimming pools, can handle a very high proportion of the energy needs of the hotel, providing considerable savings.

In the industrial and residential sectors solar thermal energy is used as an ideal backup for geothermal energy.

There is a huge variety of industrial applica-tions (mining, wine industry, food industry, greenhouses, laundries, etc ...) which in-volve processes needing a supply of medi-um temperature hot water. The use of solar energy for these applications makes above mentioned processes more efficient with much lower energy costs.
