The CopperStor represent a cost effective advance in drainback tank design.  Fabricated from spun-end seamless copper tubing with no ferrous metal components, the CopperStor is nearly impervious to corrosion an allows for direct sweated connections without the need for troublesome dielectric unions.  High temperature 15% silver brazed joints ensure high strength and are not affected by lower temperature flames used for sweating the connections.  A 3/4" brass cap on the top of the units creates a simple and cost effective method for checking the fill level with a dipstick. CopperStor tanks are finished with a water-based matte black paint and wrapped in 1/2" Rubatex insulation to minimize heat loss and noise emission.

Typical Applications
   CopperStor drainback tanks can be seamlessly coupled with the Ruud HE tanks to create a drainback version of our popular SolaRay closed loop design.  Using the Ruud HE tank eliminates the need for the second pump on the potable water side that adds both cost and complications found in other drainback designs.  The CopperStor drainback tank can easily be hung from the wall adjacent to the Ruud HE tank for easy and unobtrusive installation.
     For retrofit applications where it is not economical to replace the existing storage tank, the Copperstor may be used in combination with our SunTherm heat exchangers to convert existing solar systems to freeze-proof drainback designs.  The SunTherm may be used as a natural-convection heat exchanger as shown below or may be coupled with a pump on the potable water side for enhanced performance.
