The tubes have a vacuum between two glass layers and work similar to a thermos flask allowing it to retain up to 95% of the solar energy they capture!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis means in colder climates, and during the winter months, heat is retained and not lost into the atmosphere. The collectors are rated to handle frost and down to -15°C temperatures – without the use of glycol which dramatically reduces maintenance of the system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Apricus evacuated tube and heat pipe are assembled in a patented format that is different to any other product on the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRather than a centrally located heat pipe with heat transfer fins radiating out to the glass wall, the heat pipe is positioned directly against the glass wall, where the sun strikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe aluminium heat transfer fin is tightly held against the top inner wall of the evacuated tube and heat pipe with a set of spring clips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a key design feature as over time, with exposure to high temperature, the aluminium will soften.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe spring clips guarantee long term tight contact with the glass wall and heat pipe, which is essential for optimal performance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePrior to purchasing your hot water system, we recommend contacting us so that we can arrange an installer for you.
