HarneTech is the exclusive Illinois dealer of the SolarWall solar air heating system, developed by Conserval Engineering. The SolarWall system delivers the fastest solar payback available by pre-heating building ventilation air. The technology has been used globally for the past 20 years and has been utilized by companies like Fed-Ex, Ford, and Wal-Mart as well as extensive use by the U.S. Military.
Heating can typically be one of the largest energy expenditures in the building industry. The ability of a SolarWall system to address this energy usage and to displace a sizable amount of it - and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions - explains why the technology has such a compelling return on investment.
Applications:
- Manufacturing Facilities
- Industrial Buildings
- Office Buildings
- Multi-Residential
- Process Drying
- Municipal Facilities
- Hospitals & Schools
- Warehouses
How it Works:
When the sun warms the surface of the SolarWall collector, the heated air is drawn through tiny perforations on the surface and ducted to the existing air intake. The solar heated air is then distributed throughout the building via the conventional ventilation system or dedicated fans and ducting.
