RAL UZ 73 certificate of environmental excellence.
Construction and function
The main component of the Vitosol 100-F is the
black chrome coated copper absorber. It ensures high
absorption of solar radiation and low emission of thermal
radiation. A meander-shaped copper pipe, through which
the heat transfer medium flows, is permanently embedded
into the absorber.
The heat transfer medium channels the absorber heat
through the copper pipe. The absorber is encased in
a highly insulated collector housing, which minimizes
collector heat losses. The high quality thermal insulation
provides temperature stability and is free from gas
emissions.
The cover consists of a solar glass panel with a very low
iron content, thereby reducing reflection losses. The solar
glass is 3.2 mm thick, making it very resistant to weather
influences.
The glass is set into the collector frame with a continuous
profiled seal, preventing water from penetrating into the
collector. This ensures a long and reliable service life for
all internal components.
The collector housing consists of a one-piece non-coated
aluminum frame into which the solar glass is permanently
sealed.
Up to twelve collectors can be joined quickly and easily
to form a single collector array. For this, the standard
equipment includes flexible connection pipes, sealed with
O-rings (see picture below).
A connection kit with clamping ring fittings enables the
collector array to be quickly connected to the pipes of the
solar circuit. The collector temperature sensor is installed
in the solar circuit flow using a sensor well set.
