Solar Heater Model:
Brothers Richard and Donald Rheem founded Rheem Manufacturing Company in Emeryville, CA, in 1925.
Rheem is the only global manufacturer of heating, cooling, water heating, pool & spa heating, and commercial refrigeration products and the largest water heater maker in North America.
Edwards’ L180 solar water heaters, made of Marine Grade 316 stainless steel, are durable and corrosion-resistant.
Specifications: 180L capacity, 232 kg full, 52 kg empty, 850 kPa pressure.
Reason for the service:
Reason for Service: The solar panels have experienced a significant loss of energy production due to an extended period without cleaning.
1. Preparation
Power Off: Ensure the air conditioning system is completely powered off to eliminate any electrical hazards during the cleaning process.
2. Applying Chemical Solution
Prepare Chemical Solution: A chemical cleaner with an initial pH of 13, based on sodium or potassium hydroxide, is prepared from a concentrate following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Spray Chemical Cleaner: Evenly spray the diluted alkaline solution over the panel component to effectively break down accumulated dirt, mold, and debris.
Dwell Time: Allow the chemical solution to sit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes, enabling it to penetrate and loosen all the grime.
3. Cleaning Process
Two Technicians Required: Due to the task’s complexity and safety requirements, two trained technicians are necessary to handle the equipment and cleaning process efficiently and safely.
Rinsing: Use a water jet to thoroughly rinse the panel, to ensure maximum removal of debris and chemical residue.
To avoid scratching or damaging the surface of the panels, we use a gentle water pressure setting.
