Product Description

Apricus ETC range of evacuated tube solar collectors are suitable for both residential and commercial applications. The design of the ETC solar collector is a culmination of nearly 10 years of feedback from installers and solar professional all over the world and aims to meet their requirements.

key features:

• Modular “plug ‘n’ play” design (Manifold, frame and tubes in separate packages)

• Lightweight manifold design

• Choice of Stainless Steel or Anodized Aluminium mounting frames

• Extremely reliable header design due to only 6 brazing joints

• Contoured header for turbulent flow even at low flow-rates

• All glass wool insulation for high temperature stability

• Patented heat transfer fin design for optimal heat transfer

• Long term stability under extreme conditions

• Extreme cold (freeze protected heat pipes)

• Coastal regions (salt spray)

• Harsh UV radiation (UV stabilized components)

• High Winds (up to category C cyclone)

• Snow loading

How it Works

Construction

The ETC solar collector comprises three main parts:

Evacuated Tube (ET)

Absorbs solar energy and converts it to usable heat. Vacuum between the two glass layers insulates against heat loss.

Heat Pipe (HP)

Copper vacuum pipe that transfers the heat from within the ET up to the manifold.

Manifold

Insulated box containing the copper header pipe. The header is pair of contoured copper pipes with dry connect sockets that the heat pipes plug into.

Mounting Frame

Strong and easy to install with various options to match different mounting methods.

Operation

Step 1: The absorber coating on the inner glass tube absorbs sunlight and converts it into heat.

Step 2: Steam forms inside heat pipe which transfers heat rapidly up to the manifold.

Step 3: A pump circulates water or heat transfer fluid through the header pipe, carrying heat back to the

storage tank. Gradually throughout the day the tank is heated up.
