When you see the great distance that the human race has come, it makes you think about other technological achievements that have changed the way buildings are designed. Thinking about the stories of olden times when there was no running water or electricity and horses wandering down streets etc. The dawn of cheap electrical energy encouraged municipal water systems and definitely changed most peoples quality of life. So what are the plumbing energy technologies of the future that may change the way our buildings are designed? Greenford Plumbers embrace new technology.

Below looks at an example solar water heating that will alter our way of life, like absorption chillers, solar air conditioning and solar thermal heat.
Solar Thermal.
The solar systems can be used to heat water for domestic purposes. Flat panels and also evacuated tubes are two ways this can be aceived. Many water heater makers now supply proven systems that have been working for years. These have solar collector devices, pumps, storage tanks, controls and, usually, keep a reserve heating system. This type of system can produce more hot water than required for domestic hot water uses. So, what if the spare heat could power the air conditioning for a building?

Solar Air Conditioning.
The greatest dream would be a system that supplies air conditioning with solar collection devices at price that is affordable. It is sensible, as the highest air conditioning needs happen at the times of the most solar activity. Lots of solar energy is around on sunny days, but also brings higher air conditioning needs. A Greenford Plumber knows air conditioners.


Absorption Chillers.
These chillers are fitted to produce air conditioning in larger buildings. Most chillers are driven by electric motors and also make the chilled water for that is pumped around the facility. The process of absorption cooling is pretty much an air conditioner powered by a heat source. These absorption chillers can be classed as vapour compression systems where the compressor has been replaced with an absorber/generator. This type of chiller can run on several different fuels, like natural gas, steam and also waste heat. Perhaps it will soon be possible to capture the heat from a solar collector for use in an absorption chiller?”
