Project Summary

Our Projects

NETCARE MOOT HOSPITAL

Installation of a air conditioning solar plant in Pretoria

  • Chiller: Yazaki WFC10, 35kW nominal cooling
    capacity
  • Solar collectors: 52 Evacuated tube collectors (40*
    U-tube and 12* Heatpipe type for research
    purposes)
  • Hot storage: 2*6,000L vertical stratified tanks
    (optional PCM storage for research purposes)
  • VSD pumps (pump speed based on cooling
    demand)
  • Remote monitoring and control system
