Solar Fusion's Manufacture receives CSA Certification

EnerWorks Double-Walled Heat Exchanger System
Achieves CSA Certification
For immediate release
April 23, 2010
Dorchester, ON – EnerWorks announced today that their Spectrum solar water-heating appliance with a double-walled heat exchanger has achieved CSA system certification, the only double-walled system to meet the necessary requirements to date. The certification applies to EnerWorks’ one- to four-panel systems.
EnerWorks’ Spectrum appliance with a single-wall heat exchanger was also the first solar thermal system to achieve CSA system certification, and has been certified since 2006.
“The difference between these two appliances is that the energy station contains a heat exchanger with double wall construction,” says Andrew Mauchlen, EnerWorks Engineering Manager. “Both are certified as safe by CSA – the single wall because the pressure of the food-grade heat transfer fluid loop is lower than that of the potable water system, and the double wall heat exchanger due to its construction.”
The Spectrum appliance with double wall heat exchanger has been developed to comply with the municipal regulations of those jurisdictions in United States and Canada that still require double-walled construction.
“EnerWorks systems can now be installed in these municipalities as well,” adds Mauchlen.
For areas where this is not a regulatory requirement, EnerWorks offers its standard appliance with a single wall heat exchanger.
