Metal Solar Heat Pipe
Features of Solar Evacuated Tubes
1.This metal heat pipe vacuum tube adopts flat plate absorber.
2.It has high efficiency under low ambient temperature due to ultra high vacuum.
3.With small thermal capacity of working fluid, this equipment can start rapidly.
4.Our solar evacuated tubes have low heat losses due to thermal diode effect.
5.Using patented thermo-compression sealing technology, this metal heat pipe vacuum tube has no corrosion or scaling problem.
6.Characteristics of these solar evacuated tubes are easy installation and maintenance, reliable and durable, high pressure resistance and thermal shock resistance.
Principle of Metal Heat Pipe Vacuum Tube
With a flat absorber profile, the solar evacuated tubes have large dimensions with an outer diameter of 100 mm and a length of 2000 mm. The heat transfer from the absorber to the heat circulation is performed by the heat pipe which is mounted in the absorber. Inside the metal heat pipe vacuum tube, the heat is conducted with high efficiency to its upper end. From there it is released to the heat circulation. The heat pipe is charged with a small amount of water and carefully evacuated before sealing.
Since the heat transfer liquid of the heat circuit does not flow through the collector itself, installation is very simple and a trouble-free operation is guaranteed. The operation of the solar water heating system will not be interrupted even if one of the collector tubes should get damaged.
