welcome everybody to an intro video for the arctica solar air heater our solar air heater is a modular product similar in size to a photovoltaic solar panel but instead of generating electricity it converts incident sunlight into heated air for supplemental space heating the heater is 38 inches by 65 inches tall and requires no electrical connection instead providing energy for the circulation fan with a small pv panel the heater is controlled by a simple thermostat and uses standard four-inch intake and exhaust ducting in this accelerated animation of a well-insulated 120 square foot room a single heater is drawing cool air from the bottom of the room heating it with incident sunlight and returning it to the room through the exhaust similar to a traditional wall mounted electric furnace originally developed to provide renewable heating to a tourist camp in antarctica arcticus heaters have been used in a wide variety of projects including custom solar homes existing home supplemental heating industrial applications and heating for off-grid extreme environment structures they are designed to be mounted vertically generally on a south-facing wall with wide sun exposure the operation of the heater is pretty simple as we will see during this test at our facility in southern california power is provided by plugging in the pv panel to the bottom of the heater we then switch on the thermostat the heater only comes on if heat is available and desired once the heater is at temperature the intake fan switches on via an internal thermal switch drawing air into the intake and out of the exhaust for this test we taped and placed an anemometer to see flow rate and exhaust air temperature knowing the position and intensity of the sun on this day and the heater absorber area we know the heater is getting about 1030 watts of solar power incident at 62 cfm with a temperature rise of 25c from ambient we know the heater is putting out about 916 watts of heat gain for a solar to heat efficiency of about 88 percent the heater comes as a diy kit where arctica provides all parts except the glass and the insulation along with how to assemble video and manual or as a fully factory assembled heater check out our website at www.arcticasolar.com for more information or to use the performance estimator for your us zip code or to see the heater product page with links to our installation manual and diy assembly video we hope you'll consider an arctic heater for your renewable space heating needs ...
