Apricus Evacuated Tube Solar Collector
(Thermal solar heating)
The Apricus Solar Thermal Heating system absorbs energy from the sun and turns it into usable heat. The heat is usually passed into water (or thermal fluid) which is then used to supplement hot water heating, space heating and can even be used for cooling by using an absorption chiller.
Below are the key features of the Apricus Solar Collector design.

The operation of the solar collector is very simple.
1. Solar Absorption: Solar radiation
is absorbed by the evacuated tubes and converted into heat.
2. Solar Heat Transfer: Heat pipes conduct the
heat from within the solar tube up to the header.
3. Solar Energy Storage:
Water is ciruclated through the header, via intermittent
pump cycling. Each time the water circulates through the
header the temperatures is raised by 5-10oC
/ 9-18oF. Throughout the
day, the water in the storage tank is gradually heated.
