Flat Plate Solar Collector Applications
The typicat plate collector
panel used in solar water heating
is an insulated weatherproof
metal box containing a dark solar
absorber plate under one or more
transparent covers. The dark
absorber soaks up heat from
sunlight that passes through the
cover, and then gives the heat up
to a heat transfowing
past or through the absorber.
The main use of this technology is in residential buildings
where the demand for hotwater has a large impact on energy bills.
This generally means a situation with a largfamily, or a situation
in which the hot water demand is excessive due to frequent
laundry washing. Commercial applications include laundromats,
car washes, militarlaundry facilities and eating
establishments.
or if utility power is subject to frequent outages. Solar water
heating systems areexpensive to operate, or with operations such as
laundries or kitchens that requirelarge quantities of hot
water.

SunMaxx-FP Technology
SunMaxx Flat Plate collectors are extremely efficient at
absorbing and retaining solar radiati
because they utilize the best flat plate technology available.
Flat plate panels can be eith
glazed or unglazed. Our panels come with a glass coating because
it creates a greenhou
effect which minimizes heat loss. This allows the panels to be
effective in a wider range of te
peratures. SunMaxx collectors use tough tempered, low-iron
glass, which is the best glazi
material on the market. These glass plates are extremely durable
and have the highest tran
missivity properties which allows more light into the collectors
by reflecting less away. Th
greatly increases the efficiency of the collectors.
The collectors not only retain heat due to the glassing, but
also because of the fiberglass insu
tion in the collectors. Fiberglass is a great insulator, but not
as good as urethane or polyisoc
anurate. These two substances, however, must be used very
carefully, and if something go
wrong with the collector (such as moisture leaks to the inside,
or the glazing cracks), then thes
substances often outgas themselves, leaving the collector
inefficient. They are also not allow
in fire-hazard areas because they give off toxic fumes when they
burn. Therefore, the SunMa
collectors use fiberglass, which is a very durable and practical
substance.
SunMaxx Flat Panel collectors also use the best available
selective coating, black chrome on
nickel base. The use of this material significantly reduces the
loss of radiation. Test ha
shown that black chrome is a very stable selective coating,
which means that it remains effe
tive over time, even at very high temperatures.
Now you understand how the SunMaxx liquid flat plate collector
is designed to maximize t
absorption of solar radiation. From there, the solar radiation
is converted into heat on the inn
all-copper absorber. The copper tubes attached to the absorber
contain a liquid, either water
a water antifreeze mix, which transports the heat to storage,
either a solar tank or a wat
heater. This process continues until the tank is hot for evening
and morning use whenev
enough sun is available.
