Product catalog summary
Overview
The VirtuHOT Specification Sheet 2021 outlines the features and benefits of the VirtuHOT and VirtuHOT HD solar thermal panels, emphasizing their high energy density and versatility in installation. These panels are designed to reduce emissions and maximize energy output in various environments, including flat roofs, pitched roofs, and vertical façades.
Key Specifications
  • Performance: VirtuHOT panels offer three times the CO2 savings per square meter compared to photovoltaic panels and have a higher energy density than leading solar thermal panels.
  • Installation: The panels feature a simple modular assembly with integrated mounting and self-ballasting, eliminating the need for roof penetration. They are compatible with various roof types, including flat, pitched, and vertical façades.
  • Design: The low profile of 26.5 cm simplifies planning permissions and reduces wind shear.
Installation and Compatibility
  • Compatible with multiple roof types, including raised seamed, trapezoidal, and Sarnafil roofs.
  • Self-ballasting with in-built trays for concrete blocks, suitable for felt, EPDM, and rubber roofs.
  • Low installation cost due to modular assembly and no need for cranes or additional mounting.
Performance Analysis
  • Flat Roofs: VirtuHOT maximizes energy density with absorber plates tilted optimally within tubes and integrated reflectors capturing sunlight.
  • Pitched Roofs: VirtuHOT HD is designed for pitched roofs, allowing absorber tilt adjustments for optimal performance.
  • Vertical Façades: VirtuHOT can generate significant energy on south-facing façades, with reflectors boosting winter output.
Technical Specifications
  • Dimensions: Single tube dimensions include a gross length of 2165 mm and a height of 265 mm.
  • Hydronic Operation: Flow rate range of 0.1-1 l/min, maximum pressure of 6 bar, and a fluid outlet temperature range of 10-90°C.
  • Materials: Absorber plates are made of aluminum/copper, with copper pipes and borosilicate glass.
Performance Metrics
  • Annual kWh values are calculated using the Scenocalc tool, with specific parameters for different roof inclinations and locations.
  • Efficiency and performance are detailed for various conditions, including flat roofs, pitched roofs, and vertical façades.
