Edwards Solar Hot Water Systems

One of the advantages of the stainless steel hiline range was the simplicity of their design. Working through the process of thermosiphon (link to blog section thermosiphon) heat from inside the panels would rise up into the hot water cylinder then cold water from the cylinder would fall down into the collectors. Because these systems had no moving parts for their solar heating there is very little that can break down. This coupled with the stainless steel cylinder it makes the Edwards Hiline an ideal solar hot water heater.

Edwards also had their range of LX exchange systems that incorporated a heat exchanger build into the hot water cylinder itself. Through this design it would prevent water inside the panels from freezing in cooler climates using a mixture of glycol and water.
