Heat pipe solar collector

High Efficiency vacuum tube Heat Pipe Solar Collector

Key benefits:
- High collector efficiency of medium temperature suitable for pressurized and non-pressurized solar thermal applications.
- Due to the rapid heat conductivity evacuated heat pipe collectors are suitable for solar thermal applications in cooler areas with low ambient temperatures.*
- Well-known indestructibility of the evacuated heat pipe collectors according to DIN EN 12975-2.

Recommended application areas:
Hot water generation and heating support.
 
*in dependence on the respective heat transfer medium.

Scope of delivery
Fully pre-assembled unit comprising
- 12 - 30 evacuated heat pipes,
- manifold with direct flow heat conduction unit and dry tube connection.
Collectors are packed in individual boxes. In addition, there is a sun protection sheet over the evacuated Heat Pipe Collector.
 
Installation types
Pitched roof, flat roof, on-wall.
 
Advantages and benefits
- Short installation times due to complete pre-assembled collectors.
- Manageable module sizes for a very high performance and a quick and easy installation. 
- Highly efficient thermal insulation.
- Flow and return pipes may be filled on the left or the right side of the manifold.
- High flexibility due to the different widths and lengths of the collectors.
- Pressurized and non-pressurized operation.
- Season independent operation depending on the heat transfer medium.

Performance characteristics
- Rapid thermal conductivity.
- High energy yield and low heat loss due to the high vacuum of the evacuated tubes.
- Operating at minimum ambient temperatures of -30 °C to maximum operating temperatures of 90 °C.
- Two loop system to constantly maintain a good water quality and to ensure water on cold days due to the anti-freezing medium in the solar circulation loop and an easy integration of other energy supplies.
