An 'all weather' solar energy system able to deliver hot water even in the cold and windy days of winter.
A major breakthrough in the field of renewable energy has brought about revolutionary solar collector for all climates. The evacuated solar collector utilising the latest 'heat-pipe' technology is an efficient and durable collector designed to provide hot water throughout the year and to save a considerable amount in expensive fossil fuels.
Construction
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.
