Enalter sun heating system generates nearly 10 million liters of hot water / year.
Mohallen Construction Company inaugurated the building Parc Gerlanda in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais en October/ 2006.
This residential building counts on a sun heating system able to generate 10 million liters of hot water for baths and toilets. It was installed in a collecting area of 165m2, having the total generation of thermo solar energy of approximately 130MWh/year. The annual saving in relation to an electric system of accumulation is of around R$ 80.000,00. The system will save about 1.6 million Reais during its useful life.
The system also has a complementary gas system able to heat the whole daily demanding of hot water. We should remember that the gas system nowadays is 50% more economic than the conventional electric system which means that the heating system brings about double saving: the saving of the solar and the gas heaters.
Another differential of the heating system is the utilization of the hybrid system bringing about an extra saving to the user. The supporting gas system is independent from the solar system thus avoiding a competition in the heating between the solar and the gas systems. The system gives to the client a three times bigger comfort compared to the electric shower and an excellent saving in the energy bill.
Enalter Heating engineering Department will save 500.000 Reais for Firenze Building:
Araujo Lima Construction Company inaugurated Firenze Building in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in July/2006.
Araujo Lima Construction Company inaugurated Firenze Building in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in July/2006. Firenze Building counts on solar / gas heating system with electric backup, customized by Enalter Engineering Department with a high pattern of quality, able to generate 3 million liters of hot water annually for daily baths for 72 dwellers. It was installed in a collecting area able to produce thermo solar energy of approximately 66MWh/year. The annual saving provided by the system is of about R$ 28.000,00 and the return of investments is forecasted for less than two years. The system will save around 500.000 Reais during its useful life.
One of the big differentials of the heating system is the utilization of the hybrid system bringing about an extra saving to the building. The supporting system only works in rainy days or in low sun radiation days, heating only what is consumed, giving to the client great comfort and a 60% lower electric energy bill.
In addition, the system works with three different sources of energy: solar, gas and electric. The electric energy will only heat the system in case of a defect in the supporting gas system. Besides providing excellent saving, this system also offers great reliability.
