U-Pipe Solar Collector for Home

U pipe solar water heater collector system working principle:


In each vacuum tube there is a U pipe with direct flow-through that is connected to the header pipe inside manifold.This U pipe is seamed in an aluminum heat transfer fin in the interior of vacuum tube that transmits the heat from the interior tube to the U pipe.
Solar radiation permeates the outer glass tube and is captured on the outside of inner glass tube by highly selective sputter layer.The captured solar radiation is transmitted to flush-contact aluminum shield and then copper pipe filled with heat transfer fluid.The 360° Aluminum heat transfer fin assures the fastest energy transfer.    

Description U-pipe Solar Collector:
Solar collector plays an important role in solar heating system.U pipe evacuated tube collector performs better for its low heat loss, high adaptability and aging-resistant property than the flat panel collectors.

Features of U-pipe Solar Collector:
1..No water flows in the evacuated tube, so water scale and tube exposition are avoided.Single broken tube will not affect the working of the system.
2.It can be integrated with the architecture perfectly and be connected with the existing pipes.
3.Patented interferential film coated evacuated tube with absorptance among 94% to 96% and vacuum degree of 5*10-4 Pa;Its service life will be not less than 15 years.
Advantages:
1.No efficiency decrease during service life time
2.No external pipe lines
3.One-side in-/outlet and hence only one roof penetration
4.Best possible insulation
5.Anodized aluminum casing and frame and anti corrosion
6.Angle adjustable frame
7.Pre-assembled unit and no tube assembling is necessary
8.Ideal for both flat roof and inclined roof
9.Pre-assembled packing

--Installing and Maintaining the System
The proper installation of solar water heaters depends on many factors. These factors include solar resource, climate, local building code requirements, and safety issues;therefore, it's best to have a qualified solar thermal systems contractor install your system.
After installation, properly maintaining your system will keep it running smoothly. Passive systems don't require much maintenance. For active systems, discuss the maintenance requirements with your system provider, and consult the system's owner's manual. Plumbing and other conventional water heating components require the same maintenance as conventional systems. Glazing may need to be cleaned in dry climates where rainwater doesn't provide a natural rinse.
Regular maintenance on simple systems can be as infrequent as every 3-5 years, preferably by a solar contractor.
