WSE 47
Heating using the power of the sun has never been so affordable and easy. The secret is the evacuated tube technology of our water heaters. Each tube, within the collector, is actually two concentric tubes sealed together. Using the latest magnetron sputtering process aluminum-nitrogen is deposited onto the inner tube. This allows for the most efficient conversion of solar radiation into heat. The space between the two tubes is evacuated of air, allowing for near perfect insulation. This evacuation also creates an area of lower air pressure, which allows the water within to boil well bellow 100C.
Based on this principle the liquid within our tubes has a boiling point of just 30 degree Celsius. When the heat pipe (within the tubes) is heated above 30 degrees the water vaporizes. This vapor rapidly rises to the top of the heat pipe, transferring heat in the condenser. As the vapor cools it returns to a liquid state and falls to the bottom of the heat pipe to repeat the process.
WSE47 Solar Collector
The WSE47 solar collector is comprised of two main components. The evacuated glass tubes and the header. Unlike the WSE58 this system has the fluid running through the tubes themselves. As the suns energy is transferred, the warmer fluid rises to the top of the tube into the header. A circulation pump in the system moves the hot fluid to your heating application and supplies cold fluid back to the start to be reheated. The WSE47 non-pressurized solar collector can put out up to 2000btu/hr.
