6 FAQs about [Horizontal tube solar collector]
What is a solar collector?
Solar collectors are the key component of solar-heating systems. There are several types of solar collectors: A vacuum tube collector (Fig. 1) consists of a group of single vacuum tubes linked together to one collector. Built into each tube is a coated absorber made of copper or glass. The vacuum in the glass tubes ensures optimum heat insulation.
What is a vacuum tube solar collector?
Vacuum tube solar collectors are one of the basic forms of solar thermal utilization. The vacuum tube type solar heat pipe collector mainly comprises a heat collecting part, a heat transfer part, a heat exchange part and a frame tailstock part.
What are the different types of solar collectors?
There are several types of solar collectors: A vacuum tube collector (Fig. 1) consists of a group of single vacuum tubes linked together to one collector. Built into each tube is a coated absorber made of copper or glass. The vacuum in the glass tubes ensures optimum heat insulation. This allows the collector to make use of diffused radiation too.
What is a vacuum tube collector?
In contrast to Viessmann flat-plate collectors, the absorber in vacuum tube collectors on solar thermal systems is located directly on the tubes themselves. In the former, the tubes through which the solar medium flows are located between two flat absorber layers. Another special feature is the vacuum.
How does a Viessmann tube collector work?
Effective use of the sun's heat – Viessmann tube collectors can convert even low levels of solar radiation into usable heat. Absorbers with highly selective coating ensure high efficiency. At the same time, the vacuum in the tubes provides very effective thermal insulation.
What are the special features of a tube collector?
Another special feature is the vacuum. In the tube collectors, there is a second tube surrounded by a vacuum. This ensures particularly effective thermal insulation. This helps to ensure that there is hardly any heat loss between the absorber and the internal glass tube. The absorber is inside the vacuum collector.
