Description:
MatrixAir™ Solar Air Heating System.
Designed for new construction or retrofits this patent-pending, unglazed transpired solar air heating collector resembles and installs just like conventional exterior metal siding. Recommended for solar air heating systems with total fresh air flow needs of at least 3000 CFM, MatrixAir™ TR (Transpired) Solar Air Heating collectors come in a wide variety of cladding styles and colors and are practically unlimited their size or CFM output. In northern climates each square foot of MatrixAir TR cladding will provide up to 7 CFM of preheated fresh air producing or 1.7 GJ in annual energy savings.
MatrixAir™ Backpass Solar Air Collector
Solar Air Heating System
Ideally suited for new construction with collector heights ranging from 12 – 24 ft, this backpass solar air collector performs to within 99% of the performance of our transpired solar air heating collector thanks to our unique, modular, patent-pending design. The MatrixAir™ BP (Backpass) Solar Air Heating is characterized by its horizontal plenum located along the top of the collector or roof mounted behind the vertical cladding to facilitate integration with ceiling or roof mounted HVAC and a wide range of CFM requirements. Note: Backpass (BP) solar air heating systems are well suited to upper wall-mounted fresh air inlets prescribed by ASHRAE 62.1
MatrixAir™ Delta Roof Mounted Solar Air Collector
Our roof mounted solar air heating collector is the ideal solution for those circumstances where no wall area is suitable for a façade mounted collector due to obstructions, glazing, bylaws or wall orientation. Incorporating a flat, transpired absorber and built-in air plenum this solar air heating modular system optimizes the solar heated air flow through each solar collector for maximum output. Each individual MatrixAir™ Delta Solar Air Heating modules provides 250 CFM delivering up to 3.7 GJ in annual energy savings. Modules may be connected in a combination of series and parallel configurations to address a wide variety of roof layouts or CFM requirements.
