Elco's EL-160 XR solar water heater has a net nominal capacity of 160 liters and is suitable for meeting the domestic hot water needs of up to 4 people. It is manufactured according to international standards and carries all the certificates and test reports that confirm its quality. It is an alternative option for producing domestic hot water, which is completely environmentally friendly and is considered ideal for areas with a lot of sunshine, such as Greece.
It is dual-energy, that is, it has the ability to work in two ways: with solar energy or with electricity. This means that inside the water tank there is an electrical resistance, so that on days when there is little sunshine due to cloud cover, you can run your solar water heater with electricity, and always have hot water.
The water storage tank has an internal enamel coating, which covers the inside of the container at every point and results from the application of enamel (glass) on metal. This has the effect of protecting it from rust, since the water does not come into contact with the walls, thus always ensuring clean drinking water.
Its collector has a surface of 2.3 m², capable of producing up to 200 liters of domestic hot water. It is selective, the type most often used in recent years in solar water heaters. It has smaller heat losses compared to a simple collector, therefore a higher efficiency.
