We are agents for Thermomax tubes. After extensive research into the different solar heating systems on the market, we consider Thermomax to be the best available. Over 5 million Thermomax tubes have been installed worldwide in over 50 countries. Here, the systems have been installed at BBC Millennium House, Gatwick Airport, Bristol University, MOD sites, the Iona Community and hundreds of private homes across the British Isles.
Virtually all other vacuum tubes are manufactured in China and are simply not built to the same high quality standard. Other solar panels typically available - whilst working very well in sunny conditions - lack performance in cloudy, cold conditions, which here in the UK are all too prevalent!
Thermomax has been Voted Best Solar System by German and American 'Which' magazines, who said: “an 'all weather' solar energy system able to deliver hot water even in the cold and windy days of winter”
Construction of Thermomax collectors
The absorber plate is treated with a semi-conductor layer. This special 'wavelength selective' coating ensures high-energy absorption and low heat radiation losses. Infra red rays which pass through the clouds are also absorbed and converted into usable heat.
Transfer of heat from the plate to the water is via an efficient heat conductor – the heat-pipe – with very low heat capacity but fast heat conductivity. The properties of the heat-pipe plus the construction of the condenser enable the temperatures to be controlled – ensuring safety and eliminating the need for a complex control unit.
The absorber with the heat pipe is covered by a glass tube and the air inside is evacuated to eliminate thermal losses occurred by conduction and convection, which results in a higher energy gain. The vacuum also protects the absorber plate, selective coating and the heat-pipe against rain, moisture, air and pollution – providing excellent durability.
