INCREASING THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND TECHNOLOGICAL SAFETY OF SOLAR WATER HEATERS TO ENSURE SANITARY REQUIREMENTS AND INDOOR MICROCLIMATE.

The main part of this article describes the solution of the technical problem of creating a solar water heater device that allows to increase energy efficiency while ensuring safety, sanitary requirements and indoor microclimate. Information is given about the proposed device and method for eliminating leaks on heat-transfer pipes and their connections by automatically sealing poisonous (antifreeze), limiting the risk of its possible ingress into heated water for domestic needs. The report also provides a brief rationale for introducing a new discipline into the educational process related to the tasks under consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
