Making efficient use of solar energy

Regenerative energy sources are gaining ground: both on a large scale and in domestic households. Our screw-in heaters ensure that the solar energy generated with solar panels can be converted to thermal energy. For more and more consumers, the idea of using solar power systems to generate hot water is becoming increasingly attractive in times of rising energy prices: instead of feeding the power that is generated back into the grid, the energy is used directly, e.g. to heat up large boilers with water.

DEW has firmly established itself as a reliable partner for leading boiler manufacturers and installers in the solar and photovoltaics market. Based on the performance parameters defined by the customer, we develop individually designed heating solutions in a compact process. Heating elements specifically for Smart Home solutions and panel heaters for wafer production round off our offering in the field of solar and photovoltaics.

 

Suitable products

Insulated screw-in heater for enameled containers on a light gray background

Insulated screw-in heaters

Insulated screw-in heaters are used primarily inside enamelled buffer tanks – for example in hot water boilers. As immersion heaters, they are used for direct heating of liquid media. Clients include boiler manufacturers, installers and companies from the solar industry. Galvanic isolation reduces electrochemical stress corrosion, which would otherwise lead to the destruction of the …

Uninsulated screw-in heater on a light gray background

Non-insulated screw-in heaters

Screw-in heaters from DEW are the most effective way to heat gaseous and liquid media directly – including in hot water storage tanks and heating boilers. All the important parameters like the installation length, power output and the type of medium that is to be heated can be individually specified. We always carry the standard …

Heating elements for vacuum applications in front of a light gray background

Heating elements for vacuum applications

Heating elements for vacuum applications are used only in industry, for example in coating plants for photovoltaics. They generate thermal radiation without contaminating the atmosphere. This is made possible by the design featuring a vacuum-tight connection (flanges/screw connections).  Design The basic design of our heating elements for vacuum applications is the same as that of …

Panel heater with tubular heating elements in front of a light gray background

Panel heaters

Panel heaters are needed in all application scenarios in which heat needs to be uniformly generated on a substrate. Customers for these heating assemblies include primarily manufacturers of systems for coating tools or solar panels. Design So that the panel heaters can evenly radiate heat on to the surface that is to be heated, tubular …
