Solar Evacuated Tube Technology

Heating Solutions evacuated tube collectors are mass-produced products made in Germany. Their outstanding design, professional finishing, top quality and high energy yield, as well as their excellent price/performance ratio make them stand out. High-quality, corrosion resistant and tested materials ensure smooth operation over a long useful life. The well-known indestructibility of Evacuated solar tubes was confirmed by positive test results in the impact-from-hail test according to DIN EN 12975-2 and the thermal shock test (ITW test report No. 02COL 282).

In the development of the collectors, Our Evacuated Tubes used their many years of experience with CPC in combination with the latest findings from production technology.Sharp mirror edges are framed in the aluminium frame profile. The edges of the collector frame are sealed with rubber profiles. Only few screws are used in those places which need to be unfastened for maintenance; rivets are not used.

In the CPC w OEM, the hydraulic connections and the sensor are located at the centre on top of the collector. The hydraulic connections to the collector are fastened and unfastened with metal cutting ring connections. This is the only type of connection which is completely wear-and-tear-free and gas-proof.

The inlet and outlet pipes may be fitted on the left or the right of the manifold. Depending on the location of the inlet pipe the sensor is placed on the right or the left.

The pipe registers are mass produced with just a minimum number of soldering points. This results in high leakage-safety and a reduction of internal scaling.A low specific area leads to the desired low heat capacity.

The mirror is produced from a metal sheet with protective coating using accurate roll forming technology.Due to the special fastening technique the mirror can be exchanged without using tools. The heat conducting plates are made of aluminium so that even high stagnation temperatures have no effect on the metal’s characteristics. The heat conduction plate is folded into both copper tubes.

The tube holder can be mounted and demounted from the foot rail without using tools.Sharp edges are sealed with rubber profiles.

We also paid careful attention on details which are important for mounting the system: the solar installation is delivered with a tentered sun protection sheet to allow putting the system into operation even during maximum solar irradiation.Hand straps which can be attached to the collector frame ensure safe and easy transport onto and across the roof, and can be used as transport straps for quick crane mounting.
