For the Media: SOLAR COLLECTORHeat Transfer Evacuated-Tube Collectors Designed For Solar Heating and Domestic Hot Water SystemsLightweight, easy-to-install solar thermal units combine 30 vacuum tubes to collect the sun’s heat for residential or commercial projects, even in colder climates and higher-temperature applicationsEAST FREETOWN, MASS. (SEPTEMBER 26, 2008) — Heat Transfer Products has unveiled a new 30-tube solar collector panel that will deliver up to 39,000 Btu per panel per day, depending on available sunlight. The collectors are engineered to maximize energy efficiency even at high Delta T temperatures, making them ideal for colder regions or applications demanding higher outlet temperatures. Read more...
continued from above... Each panel assembly consists 30, twin-glass, evacuated tubes to absorb solar energy for heating water. They are shipped with a ready-to-assemble 439 stainless-steel frame for easy rooftop mounting. Rather than wrestling with a cumbersome, prefabricated collector panel on a rooftop, the technician builds the collector one tube at a time by inserting them into the frame. Fully assembled, each 30-tube collector weighs approximately 209 lb. The collectors can be coupled with any Heat Transfer solar water heater, including the Phoenix Solar, which combines hot-water storage with a 96%-efficient, gas-fired backup in one unit. Solar kits available: The new collectors are also a key component in the new, all-in-one solar packages offered by Heat Transfer. In addition to either one or two collector panels, the turnkey kits include a solar controller, pump station, pre-insulated 50-foot line set, plus all the various parts and components needed to complete the job when coupled with a Heat Transfer solar water heater. “The kits are designed to shorten the busy contractor’s learning curve on solar thermal heating projects, while helping him build quality, cost-effective installations time after time,” says CEO Dave Davis. As with all of Heat Transfer solar water heaters, the new collectors have been certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). The certification affirms that the products meet or exceed SRCC criteria for system design, reliability and durability, safety, servicing, installation, operation and maintenance. HTP is one of the first water heater manufacturers to earn this prestigious certification.
