Construction and function

The main component of the Vitosol 100-F
is the black chrome coated copper absorber.
It ensures high absorption of solar radiation
and low emission of thermal radiation. A
meander-shaped copper pipe, through which
the heat transfer medium flows, is
permanently embedded into the absorber.

The heat transfer medium channels the
absorber heat through the copper pipe.
The absorber is encased in a highly insulated
collector housing, which minimizes collector
heat losses. The high quality thermal
insulation provides temperature stability
and is free from gas emissions.

The cover consists of a solar glass panel
with a very low iron content, thereby
reducing reflection losses. The solar glass
is 3.2 mm thick, making it very resistant to
weather influences.

The glass is set into the collector frame with
a continuous profiled seal, preventing water
from penetrating into the collector. This
ensures a long and reliable service life for
all internal components.

The collector housing consists of a
one-piece non-coated aluminum frame into
which the solar glass is permanently sealed.

Up to twelve collectors can be joined quickly
and easily to form a single collector array.
For this, the standard equipment includes
flexible connection pipes, sealed with
O-rings (see picture below).

A connection kit with clamping ring fittings
enables the collector array to be quickly
connected to the pipes of the solar circuit.
The collector temperature sensor is installed
in the solar circuit flow using a sensor well
set.
