Vacuum Tube Collector Solar Thermal Collector

The Pleion X-Ray collector is designed where roof space is restricted and where performance and durability are essential.

Description

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.
  • Excellent solar yield performance.
  • Standard hydraulic fittings.
  • Easily retrofitted and replaced.
  • No on site assembly of collectors.
  • Year round solar gains.
  • Reliable under the harshest conditions.
  • Collectors dont need covering while idle.
  • Ideal for East or West roof orientations.
  • Excellent heat retention properities.
