Custom Collector: shapes, sizes and weights vary
| Technical Specification | |
| Absorber Plate | Aluminium fins metallurgically bonded to rhombic shaped copper water ways providing large water to wall contact for maximum heat transfer |
| Sputter coated selective surface | Solar Absorption = 96% ± 2, Thermal Emission = 7% ± 2 |
| Glazing | One outer layer of Tedlar film manufactured by DuPont, minimises heat loss and ensures minimal weight. Overall light transmittance = 95%. |
| Backing | Melinex film, ensuring the collectors are completely waterproof |
| Collector Box | Aluminium box section with all round fixing channels for easy fitting. A sensor pocket is fitted at the appropriate location |
| Insulation | Rigid PIR foam, manufactured with zero ODP |
| Flow And Return | 15mm copper for serpentine operation, 22mm for Headers & Risers |
| Fluid Content | 0.6 litre per 1 square metre of collector area |
| Flow Rate | 1 litre per square metre of collector area per minute |
| Transfer Fluid | 100% Tyfocor antifreeze mixture (recommended) |
| Test Pressure | 15 Bar |
| Maximum Working Pressure | 10 Bar |
| Pressure Drop | 10 kPa at flow rate of 0.03 litres per second, per 1 square metre of collector area |
| Fixing Methods | (1) Retrofit on top of roof cover (2) Flat roof mounted with A-frames and/or ballast or roof fixing |
| Instantaneous Efficiency | 85% |
| Tested By | University College Cardiff, TNO The Netherlands, National University of Singapore, EN12975 by ITW |
| Life Expectancy | In excess of 25 years |
