Flat Plate Solar Collector

Once the cold water is collected in the storage tank the plate collector begins to circulate the fluid through the cold water and heat it.

Flat plate solar collector.

Flat plate collectors are the most common solar thermal technology in europe. Flat plate collectors are as simple as they come from they capture energy from the sun. This means domestic water heating and solar pool heating are great applications especially in warmer climates such as southern usa and the caribbean. The flat plate solar collector is a type of solar thermal panel whose objective is to transform solar radiation into thermal energy.

The apricus flat plate solar thermal collector is suitable for residential or commercial solar water heating projects. Titanpower flat plate collectors are available for a variety of applications for residential commercial and municipal customers. The flat plate collector features a low profile design 80mm 3 15 profile which combined with ultra lightweight melamine foam insulation makes it one of the lightest flat plate panels per m 2 on the market. Flat plate solar collectors titanpower and titanpowerplus flat plate solar collectors are an industry leading line of flat plate solar collectors built with revolutionary tinox titanium absorbers.

They consist of an 1 enclosure containing 2 a dark colored absorber plate with fluid circulation passageways and 3 a transparent cover to allow transmission of solar energy into the enclosure. Flat plate collectors consist of a collector surface that absorbs the solar radiation a glazing to prevent the absorber from reradiating the solar energy a heat transfer medium for domestic hot water applications this is almost always water or a propylene glycol base heat transfer fluid depending on the climate and system type and insulation on the sides and back to prevent losses by conduction and convection goswami et al 2000. The overall idea behind this technology is pretty simple.
