The Solar Thermal Collector provides efficient hot water and heating using 10, 15, 20, or 30 evacuated tubes
— suitable for homes, hotels, and commercial use.

Solar  Collector Features:

● High-Quality Manifold: Made of durable aluminum alloy for long-lasting performance.
● Sturdy Bracket: Strong aluminum alloy bracket ensures stable installation.
● Efficient Heat Pipe Condenser: 24mm heat pipe for optimal thermal transfer.
● Wide Flow Channel: 35mm diameter flow channel for enhanced heat circulation.
● Premium Vacuum Tubes: 58*1800mm all-glass evacuated tubes for maximum solar absorption.
● Superior Insulation: High-quality rock wool ensures minimal heat loss.

How Solar Collector Works:

Evacuated tube solar collector use evacuated tubes to absorb solar energy then transfer energy to heat pipe via aluminum fin, when heat pipe is heated and working liquid vaporize and rise to top of heat pipe condenser (condenser is inserted into the mainfold port inside the solar collector manifold), when the heat pipe condenser meet cold water flow inside the manifold port, the working liquid will cool down and fluidify return to the bottom of heat pipe, so time and time again repeat this process, finally cold water(glycol) inside the manifold port be heated.

Solar Collector Technical Parameters:

Evacuated Tubes Solar  Collector Key Points:

●  High performance evacuated tube collectors
●  Can be mounted free-standing or on a pitched roof, easy to install, simple roof fixings
●  Heat pipe – offer low maintenance
●  No water in the vacuum tubes, no freezing problem in winter, can be used in cold area. One broken tube will not affect the function of the system.
●  5 years warranty, 20+ years lifespan
● Market leading efficiency/output
● Triple layer selective absorber coating, absorption coefficient >94%
● Evacuated tube outer tube thickness >1.8mm
● 14/24mm high conductivity heat pipe condenser, Nick-coated condenser surface.
● Aluminum frame, strong structure, light weight.
● High and constant pressure of polyurethane foaming technology ensure the outstanding insulation quality.

Solar Collector Pre-installation Considerations:

Before installation, please note:
1. Installation personnel must wear gloves, avoiding to scratch hands due to glass tubes broken during the installation.
2. When touching the condenser and collector’s pipe head of heat pipe during installation, should pay attention to scald.
3. If collector is installed on the simple roof, collector’ weight to the effect of roof capacity should be considered.
4. When installing the collector, please take into consideration the issue of wind and snow loading. High wind and snow regions may require inspection and approval by an authorized engineer or the local building department. It is the responsibility of the installation officer to ensure that the frame mounting is of suitable strength points.
5. To have the best performance, please make sure the installation angle at 15-75 degree.

FAQs: Heat Pipe vs Non-Pressurized Evacuated Tube Collectors:

1. What is the main difference between heat pipe and non-pressurized collectors?

Heat pipe collectors use vaporized fluid in heat pipes to transfer heat efficiently to a manifold, while non-pressurized collectors heat water directly inside the evacuated tubes.

2. Which system is more efficient?

Heat pipe collectors are generally more efficient, especially in colder or cloudy conditions, due to faster heat transfer and reduced heat loss. can work under – 37 degree.

3. Which one is easier to maintain?

Heat pipe collectors are easier to maintain, as individual heat pipes can be replaced without draining the system. Non-pressurized systems may require draining for maintenance.

4. Are non-pressurized evacuated tubes suitable for high-pressure systems?

No, they are gravity-fed and non-pressurized, suitable for low-pressure or small residential systems. Heat pipe systems handle pressurized water more reliably.

5. Which system is better for large-scale or industrial applications?

Heat pipe collectors are better suited due to higher efficiency, pressurized operation, and scalability.

FAQs – Heat Pipe Solar Thermal Collector:

1. What is a heat pipe solar thermal collector?

A heat pipe solar thermal collector uses evacuated tubes and heat pipes to efficiently absorb sunlight and transfer heat to water, providing reliable hot water for homes, hotels, or industrial use.

2. How does the ECOMAX-30 heat pipe system work?

Sunlight heats the fluid in the 58×1800mm evacuated tubes, which vaporizes and rises through the 24mm heat pipe into the manifold. The heat is then transferred to water in the 35mm flow channel, while the vapor condenses and cycles back.

3. What are the key benefits of using a heat pipe collector?

● High solar efficiency
● Minimal heat loss due to vacuum insulation
● Durable aluminum alloy manifold and bracket
● Easy maintenance and long lifespan

4. Where can this solar thermal collector be used?

It is ideal for residential hot water, hotels, hospitals, swimming pools, industrial processes, and renewable energy projects.

5. Is the system suitable for cold or cloudy climates?

Yes, the evacuated tubes reduce heat loss, allowing efficient performance even in colder or partially cloudy conditions.
Heat pipe tube can work under -37 degree, with superior anti-freezing performance.
