Background: Griffiths Air Conditioning has been in business since 1999 focusing on Air Conditioning and heat pumps.\u00a0 In more recent years they have specialised in the renewables market, installing Solar panels (PV and Thermal) and Heat Pumps (Air and Ground Source).<\/p>\n

The Customer: Sir Robert McAlpine, an existing commercial customer for air conditioning, spoke to one of the Griffiths engineers about a Solar Thermal system on a private house which had been experiencing some problems.\u00a0 Griffiths were asked to have a look at the problem.
\nThe system:<\/strong> Upon investigation the engineer found that there had been degradation to the fluid originally used in the system (MPG based), which appeared like a sticky tar like residue. This type of problem can sometimes occur when a building is left empty and the system continues to receive energy from the sun. With no outlet for the heat, the system shuts the pump down and slowly heat builds up in the fluid to a point where it degrades. In this particular system it was later found that the purge pump used on installing this equipment had been insufficient and the fluid had stagnated due to air pockets. This had caused the pump to be ineffective. Until recently the only solution to systems with this type of problem has been to completely replace the panels and other system parts \u2013 a costly exercise.<\/p>\n

The solution:<\/strong> Griffiths Air Conditioning used the SolRnett<\/a>\u00a0product from Climalife: \u2018We had been pointed in the direction of SolRnett a while ago, by Climalife. We have confidence in them to know that SolRnett would be a viable solution to this problem\u2019, Matt Young, Technical Manager at Griffiths Air Conditioning.<\/p>\n

The product had a dramatic effect cleaning the system, enabling them to re-charge with fresh fluid using a suitable purge pump to ensure that no air locks were contained in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Young explained: “SolRnett<\/a>\u00a0was very easy\u00a0to use, we first flushed with water, which came\u00a0back clear, not moving any of the residue, we\u00a0then followed the SolRnett<\/a> product data sheet\u00a0and as soon as it was added to the water the\u00a0solution turned black, so we knew it was working\u00a0really well. We left the solution circulating\u00a0for approximately 1 hour and when the system\u00a0was drained we found that SolRnett<\/a>\u00a0had\u00a0completely neutralised the degraded glycol, it\u00a0wasn\u2019t even sticky to touch!\u201d<\/p>\n

SolRnett<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0has been formulated by Climalife to\u00a0clean Solar Thermal systems where the fluid\u00a0used has degraded or caramelised. It can remove\u00a0tarry deposits and return a system to\u00a0use, quickly and very cost effectively.\u00a0The product is readily available from Climalife.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: \u201cWe would definitely use SolRnett<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0again in similar circumstances. We would\u00a0also use the Greenway Fluid<\/a>\u00a0as it can operate\u00a0to higher temperatures, with less likelihood of\u00a0degradation on this scale, it wasn\u2019t used on\u00a0this occasion as the end user had already purchased\u00a0other product.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Westerman\u00a0at Climalife UK commented:\u00a0\u201cSolar Thermal systems are becoming increasingly\u00a0popular but can sometimes suffer from\u00a0blockages caused by the premature degradation\u00a0of a heat transfer fluid.\u00a0This case study demonstrates the excellent\u00a0performance capability of Climalife\u2019s SolRnett<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0cleaner that can create a sound basis on which\u00a0to load the system with a good quality heat\u00a0transfer fluid.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
