Solahart’s Humble Beginnings
Solahart History
• 1901 SW Hart & Co incorporated in WA. Plumber and ironworkers business.
• 1940s commenced manufacturing hot water storage systems.
• 1953 first solar water heater manufactured.• 1973 employees buy out shares in SW Hart.• 1978 commenced manufacturing 300litre/80ge
vitreous lined cylinders.
Solahart History
• 1994 (October) Johan Holdings acquired the assets of Solahart from James Hardie via the entity Solahart Industries Pty Ltd.
• 1998 (July) Rheem acquires Solahart Industries.

Introduction Collectors Thermo siphon systems Multiple Thermo siphon systems
Two different absorbers available:
• Kf Collector : A multiflow absorber with 35 channels. steel absorber with nickel corrosion protection and Black Chrome selective surface. Designed for Indirect Thermosiphon systems only.
• Bt Collector : An absorber with 13 copper tubes and a copper absorber plate with Blue sputtered selective surface. Selected for pumped systems

Multi Flow - 35 risers by pressing process
• Large relation between internal flow surface and
outer surface
• Low pressure drop (perfect for thermosyphon)
• Minimum energy loss
• Low pressure resistance (0,8 bar)
Nickel plated Steel-Base material
• Protects base material against corrosion
• Nickel can withstand high temperatures
Black-Chrome selective top layer (Kf)
• High solar absorption = 0.93
• Low Emission = 0.12
• Resistant against high temperatures
• Long experience in the field

Introducing Streamline
SolaSolaharthart Streamline
Cold water is pumped to base of collectors.
The solar control unit receives constant temperature information from a hot sensor located in the hot return line of the collector and a cold sensor located at the storage tank.
When a temperature differential of greater than 8°C is encountered the circulating pump is activated and cold water is pumped from the bottom of the storage tank to the base of the collectors.
As the water is heated it passes to the top of the collectors where it is returned to storage heaterThis process continues until the temperature differential falls to less than 4°C.
Solahart Streamline
How the Streamline Works
• Two systems available 340lt & 430lt
• Boost Capacity
o 340lt – 200lt with 4.8kw element
o 430lt – 285lt with 4.8kw element
• Both units have a recovery of 103lt per hour
over 40 °C rise.
• Booster element can be connected to
continuous or off-peak power.
• Warranty
