Abstract

There is disclosed a solar water glass lined tank in which a copper tubing heat exchanger coil is installed and connected across inlet and outlet fittings of the tank. The circuit for circulation of a fluid which is to be heated or cooled is connected to these fittings for thermal exchange with fluid in the tank. Legs are secured to the tubing coil by flexible fasteners, such as plastic or plastic coated wire ties, and the tubing coil is installed in the tank prior to welding a head wall in place. The legs are spaced about the coil formation and extend from a sidewall, top-head corner junction of the tank. The legs are preferably of the same metal material as the coil and are cushioned at their ends with rubber or plastic bumpers. The head wall is welded in place and the tank is assembled for shipment and use.
