Domestic Hot Water Systems

Sol-Line Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers

AIC’s compact line of SOL-LINE brazed plate heat exchangers are ideal for solar domestic hot water use. Whether designed as the primary heater, an alternative heater, or a pre-heater, these efficient units are an integral component of any closed loop system.

Freeze Prevention System Using L-Line Heat Exchangers

External heat exchangers are the perfect solution for anti-freeze solar systems, enabling longer system life and less manual intervention. Compared to internal style heat exchangers (indirect water heaters), the AIC Sol-Line external style heat exchangers have plate corrugation patterns and plate geometry that promote high turbulence flows, which maximize solar energy transfer to domestic water. This improves overall system efficiency, and results in tangible cost savings.

Sol-Line plate heat exchangers can be used in various domestic applications. AIC offers both single walled plate exchangers for in floor heating and driveway snowmelt applications, and double walled plate exchangers with visible leak detection for potable water use.
