HP200 Technology
The HP200 Heat Pipe Collector
This collector is a ‘dry’ heat pipe product. In this collector, the heat pipe is attached to the back of the absorber plate. Evaporator fl uid is contained within the heat pipe.
The energy absorbed by the absorber causes the fl uid to change from a fl uid state to a vapour state and the vapour rises to the condenser bulb.
The condenser is connected directly into the manifold via a dry pocket. Within the manifold the solar system solution is passed across the dry pocket that houses the condenser.
The condenser releases the latent heat of evaporation to the solar system solution and condenses, the condensate returns to the heat pipe and the cycle is repeated.
Due to the dry connection the HP200 tubes can be replaced without the need of draining down the solar system.
HP200 collectors are available in 3 sizes:
10 Tube = 1.08m2 aperture area
20 Tube = 2.16m2 aperture area
30 Tube = 3.24m2 aperture area
Up to a maximum of 4 x 30 tubes collectors can be joined together in series with a fl ow rate of 12 Ltrs/min.
