Next Generation Energy manufactures various solar products including solar thermal tube collectors that are used in solar hot water systems. The NGE-116-TU solar collector consists of 16 evacuated tubes. This solar collector has the ability to reach a maximum temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It can operate in cold as well as windy weather conditions.
NGE-116-TU Solar Collector
The three coat absorber process of the NGE-116-TU solar collector enables it to receive solar heat from any angle. The conduction in the internal heat transfer system also contributes to heat absorption from all angles. The tubes do not have to be turned to obtain maximum solar heat. The evacuated tubes do not feature any mechanical components, avoiding the need for repair or maintenance. They also do not have snap discs or friction heat transfer connections that may lose efficiency after a period of time. The inner tube diameter measures 37mm, while the outer tube diameter is 47mm.
The NGE-116-TU solar collector features aluminum casing. The maximum pressure of the solar collector is 0.6MPa. It offers a capacity of 1.5 liters for the heat transfer liquid. The stagnation temperature of the collector is 482 degree Fahrenheit. The solar collector, offered by Next Generation Energy, features a 20mm inlet and outlet connection. The dimensions of the NGE-116-TU solar collector are length of 1660mm, width of 1080mm and height of 145mm. With a net weight of 45kg, it has an aperture area, excluding the reflector, of 1.09 square meters.
