Specifications

Duraco solar water heater manufactured in Mauritius. Made from rust-proof SUS 316 inox and aluminium alloy — specifically suited to Mauritian climatic conditions. Registered with the DBM as an official supplier since 1995. Includes delivery, flat roof fixation and VAT. Plumbing and electrical works are excluded and must be carried out by a qualified tradesperson. High pressure system with copper coil heat exchanger. Suitable for coastal regions only. Recommended when cold water supply to the shower mixer comes under pressure.

Working Principle — Thermosiphon with Copper Coil Heat Exchanger (Pre Heated Pressure):
Same thermosiphon process as non-pressure. Additionally, a copper coil is installed inside the tank as a heat exchanger. Cold water under pressure enters the heat exchanger through the cold-water inlet, absorbs heat from the hot water in the tank via the copper coil, and exits as hot water through the hot-water outlet. Suitable for coastal regions where mains pressure supply is used.
