Duo Solar Hoses:

Functionality & Design:

Duo solar hoses are “twin flexible stainless steel or corrugated metal hoses” designed to transport the heat transfer fluid (often a mixture of water and antifreeze) between the solar collectors on the roof and the storage tank or heat exchanger located elsewhere in the property.
The design typically involves two hoses: one for the flow and one for the return, encased together within insulation to minimize heat loss during transportation.

Applications:

Used predominantly in solar thermal installations for domestic hot water heating and sometimes for supplementary space heating.
Ideal for connecting solar collectors to storage tanks, especially when there’s a need to navigate complex routes or when flexibility is required during installation.

Advantages:

“Flexibility”:

The corrugated or flexible design allows easy bending and routing through the building’s structure.

“Insulation”:

The pre-insulated design ensures minimal heat loss, maintaining the efficiency of the solar thermal system.

“Ease of Installation”:

These hoses can be installed without the need for complex jointing or welding, speeding up installation and reducing labor costs.

“Durability”:

Often made from stainless steel, they resist corrosion and can handle the high temperatures associated with solar thermal systems.
Types:

“Single Insulated”:

Contains just the two metal hoses encased in insulation.

“Double Insulated”:

Provides an additional layer of insulation for enhanced heat retention, especially useful in colder climates.

Installation & Maintenance:

When installing, ensure that the hoses are not bent at very sharp angles, which might compromise the integrity of the hose and potentially lead to leaks.
Over time, inspect for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, especially at connection points.

“Limitations”:

As with any component in a heating system, the duo solar hoses can deteriorate over time, so regular checks and timely replacements are crucial to maintain system efficiency and safety.
