Apricus 30 tube collector
Product Specifications Sheet
Overview

Apricus solar collectors use high efficiency twin-glass evacuated tubes to absorb solar energy and convert it into usable heat. Freeze protected heat pipes transfer heat from within the evacuated tube up to an insulated copper header pipe through which a heat transfer liquid is circulated.

Suitable for domestic or commercial applications, Apricus solar collectors maintain strong efficiency levels even at high delta-t temperatures. For this reason Apricus collectors are ideal for cold regions and high temperature applications.
