  • FIG. 11 shows the use of the plastics heat exchangers 1 . 1 ., . . . , 1 .n for a housing supply system 25 .
  • the plastics heat exchangers are installed as main and/or partial modules 7 , 8 . 1 , 8 . 2 on a roof 24 of a building 23 having windows 21 .
  • the plastics heat exchangers are rolled up and transported to the building site in the form of a roll. At the building site, said plastics heat exchangers are lifted onto the roof, unrolled and correspondingly fastened.
  • the partial-body hollow elements 11 . 1 , . . . , 11 .n and the energy-conducting body 13 are installed on the roof facing the sun. They may be coated with a dark, in particular black, covering layer.
  • the water flowing in the energy transmission bodies 10 . 1 , . . . , 10 .n is heated by the sun and the ambient temperature and is thus constantly available, in particular in summer, for use as washing water, bath water or the like. This enables the overall energy consumption to be reduced.
