Israeli solar hot water heaters are known the world over for reducing the country’s energy needs by about 3 percent. Green Prophet caught up with Reuven Noga from Amcortec, a supplier of Amcor hot water systems at the recent EnergyTech event in Tel Aviv to learn more. The company has started its business for large scale operations – in prisons, hotels, and factories based on the famous Israeli hot water heater (a core of copper pipes and panels painted black to pick up heat from the sun). With state of the art tech, Amcortec will make sure hot water for your shower lasts as long as the sun, and then some.

Forty thousand liters or so worth of hot water. Not bad.

To turn invisible vapor into liquid, you must remove heat, especially the latent heat of condensation.
