Product catalog summary
Overview
Apricus solar collectors utilize high-efficiency twin-glass evacuated tubes to capture solar energy and convert it into heat. The heat is transferred via freeze-protected heat pipes to an insulated copper header pipe, circulating a heat transfer liquid. These collectors are suitable for both domestic and commercial applications, maintaining efficiency even at high delta-t temperatures, making them ideal for cold regions and high-temperature applications.

Apricus Solar Collector-1

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.
