Solar absorber coatings

Maximum output Solar thermal collectors use energy from the sun to generate heat for heating and hot water. This energy is free, environmentally friendly and reliable. The heart of flat-plate, air and evacuated-tube collectors is the absorber. It collects the energy in sunlight and converts it into heat. The more efficient the absorber, the greater the collector‘s output. Almeco sets an industry benchmark with its TiNOX absorbers: these products absorb 95% of incident sunlight. At the same time, depending on the absorber, they only lose around 4% through heat radiation. In this way, manufacturers...

The TiNOX absorbers are energy traps. They collect almost all available solar radiation and convert The energy trap it into heat. Unlike black chrome or black-coated absorbers, almost none of this energy is lost again as heat radiation. The energy is directly transferred into the heating-support and water heating systems by the TiNOX absorbers. How is that possible? TiNOX absorbers make use of the fact that solar radiation energy irradiates Selective reflection at wavelengths below 2.5 μm, while the characteristic wavelength range for heat radiation from a 100°C surface (maximum operational temperature...

is the premium product in the TiNOX TiNOX energy product range: with its outstanding absorption and emissivity performance, the highly selective, blue absorber is the first choice for collector manufacturers who wish to guarantee their customers the highest output even when less sunlight is available. is capable of absorbing 95% of incident solar radiation and converting it into heat. Like METAL TAPE an "energy trap," the highly selective blue TiNOX coating only loses approx. 4% of the captured solar HEAT ENERGY energy as heat radiation. Solar absorption: α ~ 95 % absorbers Thermal emissivity:...

An optimum balance between efficiency, costs and environmentally friendly manufacture: the TiNOX nano tube . This absorber is suitable for regions with high levels of sunshine and provides an extremely cost-effective, environmentally friendly solutions in those regions. artline In contrast to black chrome absorber layers, which have a high level of emissivity in heat radiation, tube still delivers the best possible output even at high temperatures in the collector, thanks to a low emissivity level of only 5%. The absorption level is especially designed for high levels of artline solar radiation,...

When it comes to high-quality coatings for solar applications, Almeco is a renowned­ partner thanks to its cutting-edge production facilities, meticulous quality processes, many years of e ­ xperience and comprehensive expertise. Pre-handling High-performance absorber layers require very pure, highly reflective metal surfaces. After all, of metal there must be as much infrared reflection as possible to achieve the characteristic extremely low emissions of these highly selective absorbers. The laws of physics also stipulate that the mirror used should be completely flawless. For absorber strip,...

For more than fifty years the Almeco Group has devoted itself to making aluminium products with The company reflective and decorative surface finishes. This specialization has led to the Group becoming one of the world‘s largest producers of components for the lighting and solar energy industries. All products are manufactured in Germany at Almeco GmbH, which incorporates the Solar Business Division of Almeco Group. With modern, high technology vacuum coating and manufacturing lines, Almeco GmbH specializes in high-tech reflector and absorber coatings that convert sunlight into heat energy in...
