Apricus Solar Thermal Collectors Serve Domestic and Industrial Applications

Coger Custom Construction Company supplies the Apricus range of solar thermal collectors. The Apricus collector can be used for various applications including space heating, and providing industrial hot water and hot water for domestic applications.

The Apricus solar thermal collector is suitable for both residential and commercial sectors. This solar thermal collector for hot water systems, provided by Coger Custom Construction Company, includes different components such as evacuated tubes, copper header pipes, collector manifold, heat transfer fins, stainless steel mounting frames and heat pipes. The Apricus solar thermal collector is also completely insulated.

The evacuated tube of the solar thermal collector from Coger Custom Construction Company incorporates a dark-blue absorber on which sunlight can strike. Subsequent to sun exposure, the collector transfers heat to the copper header pipe of the collector with the aid of a heat pipe. The copper header pipe is positioned inside the insulated manifold box.

A pump, usually available with the solar hot water system, is used for circulating water through the copper header pipe thereby, thereby warming the water. In case of cold climatic conditions, an antifreeze water mix is circulated through the pipe to avoid freezing. This heated water is circulated back to the storage tank, which in turn, heats the water collected within it. A heat exchanger needs to be used in conjunction with the collector system when antifreeze is used.
