Flat Plate Solar Collector

The flat plate collector features a low profile design 80mm 3 15 profile which combined with ultra lightweight melamine foam insulation makes it one of the lightest flat plate panels per m 2 on the market.

Flat plate solar collector.

The flat plate solar collectors are probably the most fundamental and most studied technology for solar powered domestic hot water systems. Flat plate collectors consist of a collector surface that absorbs the solar radiation a glazing to prevent the absorber from reradiating the solar energy a heat transfer medium for domestic hot water applications this is almost always water or a propylene glycol base heat transfer fluid depending on the climate and system type and insulation on the sides and back to prevent losses by conduction and convection goswami et al 2000. Flat plate collectors are the most common solar thermal technology in europe. The overall idea behind this technology is pretty simple.

This means domestic water heating and solar pool heating are great applications especially in warmer climates such as southern usa and the caribbean. The flat plate solar collector is a type of solar thermal panel whose objective is to transform solar radiation into thermal energy. Flat plate solar collectors titanpower and titanpowerplus flat plate solar collectors are an industry leading line of flat plate solar collectors built with revolutionary tinox titanium absorbers. Once the cold water is collected in the storage tank the plate collector begins to circulate the fluid through the cold water and heat it.

The apricus flat plate solar thermal collector is suitable for residential or commercial solar water heating projects. There are different designs but in most cases they use heat transfer fluids. Titanpower flat plate collectors are available for a variety of applications for residential commercial and municipal customers.
