Types of the structures Recommended helium systems Structures that are connected to constantly functioning energy sources
Full year
Enterprises of social nourishment, hotels, hospitals, sanatoriums, kindergartens, bathhouses, laundries
Seasonal with a backup unit, with 100% supply of hot water
Recreation centers of seasonal operation, pioneer camps
Seasonal with a backup unit that ensure, if necessary, cover of technological load of hot water, thanks to the backup unit
Dwelling houses with the boiler house for heating, summer showers, camps
Seasonal without backup unit
Designing of the systems begin with determination of the needed area of helium receiver that is calculated depending on various variants of the collectors’ structures (Daffi Jr. 1987 & Beckman 1987).
