Limitations of Glycol Solar Water Heating Systems (Part II)
In the first video of this three part mini-series, I shed some light on why glycol systems represent the majority of solar hot water systems being designed today. I also hit on a few of the initial “features” that glycol systems require as well as their potential failure modes. The second video below goes into some more detail regarding the design precautions necessitated by a pressurized system. I’m looking forward to hearing your feedback in the comments section below.
