SEIDO5 Heat Pipe Solar Collector

SEIDO5 Heat Pipe Solar Collector

The SEIDO5 heat pipe solar collector comes with an optimized semi-cylindrical absorber plate, which effectively absorbs 10% to 15% more solar irradiation annually than flat absorber vacuum tube. This advantage makes this product suitable for places where there is definite heat demand but only limited available installation area, especially for those have better solar radiation in the morning or evening. This product can also be used for domestic water heating system. Taking up less space, this heat pipe solar collector can be installed at any domestic place. Though having a small size, it can still meet over 70% of the hot water needed by an average household. Furthermore, the high efficiency also makes it perfect for operation of larger systems for commercial or public applications.

Technical Specifications

The SEIDO5 tubes employed in this heat pipe solar collector are much similar to SEIDO1 types in terms of the larger absorber area as well as specifications. They are heat pipe vacuum tubes designed with plug-in structures for manual adjustment, easy installation and maintenance.

The complete heating circuit is adopted by the heat pipe solar collector to transmit the heat from the collecting device to the indoor hot water storage tank with the assistance of the heat exchanger. Then the water is heated for the domestic applications. Additionally, this hot water tank has a loading capacity of around 300L.  In the event that the heat provided by the solar collecting equipment fails to maintain the desirable temperature, the other auxiliary  heating system will be activated to accomplish the heating process. There is an electronic control unit, usually referring to the different temperature regulator, used to monitor the temperature of the collector opening constantly to see whether it is higher than that of the indoor hot water storage tank. If greater indeed, then this control unit will switch on the heating circuit.
