Sustainable Indoor Environments with the Solamander Hydronic Energy Hub by Devex

The Solamander Hydronic Hub prioritises the use of renewable energy resources with all components regulated by a controller located anywhere in the house. The controller interacts with the energy hub through a series of complex algorithms communicated via the data cables.

For most applications, the Solamander hub is installed on the wall or ceiling of a garage or plant room. The controller sets the solar pump in motion when the sun comes out and the solar tubes heat up. The solar valve opens and enables the circulation of the hot water through the solar tubes up to the Solamander hub. A simple process that delivers sophisticated heating performance indoors.

This sustainable indoor energy use, delivered throughout the year, is achieved through Solamander's unique features:

Direct Action

Compared to standard energy management systems using the DHW (Domestic Hot Water) tank as a hub, the energy used for space heating (radiator and floor heating) is delivered by a heat pump or gas boiler, without the use of a tank. This enables the system to offer greater energy storage with a much smaller tank.

Optimal Solar or Wet Back Harvesting

Through special flow regulating valves, water flows from the solar panels or wet back even at a high and pre-defined temperature. When the solar panels are heated, the water flow increases and maintained at 75°C. The level of the utility valve can be adjusted through the controller.

Prioritisation of Heat Sources and Heat Uses

1. The Solamander system prioritise heat sources as follow: Solar collector > wetback > heat pump > gas boiler.
2. The system also prioritises heat uses by importance: DHW system > Heating system > Pool heating system.
3. By prioritising both heat sources and uses based on their sustainability, the Solamander Hydronic Hub provides benefits like lower energy costs and lower carbon footprint.
