How does a heat dissipater control excessive heat buildup?
Heat dissipaters are radiator type units designed to take the excess heat buildup in your solar system generally caused by very sunny, long days, when the home owner is away on vacation, (lack of hot water use) and transfer that heat to the surrounding air. This is done in the same way as the radiator in your car. It is done automatically via the electronic controller sensing that the water is too hot and then an electrical signal is transmitted to a control valve to open. The fluid is then routed through the heat dissipater and cools the system to an appropriate value. SUNPEAK USA Inc. heat dissipaters can dissipate the entire heat generated by the solar collector of your selected unit. Many other companies don’t sell this important safety feature with their product and may only offer it as an accessory.
