"The implementation of helium systems has been underway in the department since 2008," the press service reported. "A total of 12 solar collectors have been installed at the structural units. All of them are designed for heating water during the off-season, meet modern environmental requirements, and allow for an annual saving of over 200 tons of conventional fuel."
