Vacuum Tube Collector Solar Thermal Collector

The Pleion X-Ray 10 Collector
The Pleion X-Ray collector is designed where roof space is restricted and where performance and durability are essential. These collectors use the well proven u-tube collector pipe configuration and a double glass walled vacuum tube. Utilising parabolic reflector surface behind the vacuum tubes maximizes the available solar energy all year round. The collectors do not require on-site assembly and the tubes do not need covering while idle like other tube technologies. The tubes are easily replaced and do not require the system to be drained.
Features:
– 360 deg high vacuum absorber tubes.
– Utilises CPC reflective technology.
– Corrosion resistant components.
– Collector designed, manufactured and tested in Austria to the Solar Keymark standard.
-3/4″ flat seal stainless, graphite and brass fittings.
-SEAI registered Harp Z-5-20120-1
-Compact on-roof footprint.
-Easy to handle and lightweight.
-Continuous U-tube pipe.
-No Glass-Metal interfaces.
-Standard hydraulic fittings.
Benefits:
– Very robust with a long service life.
