Anti-Algae Solar Profiles

Category: Marketplace | Comment (0)

An experienced manufacturer of slatted pool covers, OASE has launched a new 85 mm width polycarbonate slat with an anti-algae hinge.

This revolutionary solar slat, has a patented hinge which prevents formation of algae into the hook. The hinge is made black on top, so that no light can get onto the hook of the other profile.

With normal PVC or polycarbonate solar slats algae can easily grow into the hinge of the profiles. This is because the hinge is not protected from heat and light.

Many customers have commented on this in the past but with the new profile, this shortcoming has been eliminated.

Strategic Design

Category: Marketplace | Comment (0)

Elecro Multi-Tubular heat exchangers are made up of a 38-piece Titanium tube bundle, giving a vast surface contact area for the two water circuits.
The primary circuit chamber – through which water from the heating source travels, is very narrow ensuring heat is absorbed and replaced with Hot water quickly.
The rigid aluminium jacket, encapsulating a pocket of air, thermally insulates the entire unit ensuring that heat is transferred within the desired chamber and absorbed by the swimming pool water- not lost to the atmosphere.

These strategic design features, enable the Elecro heat exchangers to perform very efficiently, even when working with low value primary temperatures such as solar heating systems.
