Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) consist of a heat pipe inside a vacuum heat tube and they function differently from Flat Plate Collectors.
ETC solar water systems is a Technology where Renewable Energy ie energy from sun is used for the conversion of sunlight into the heat for heating water by using a solar thermal collector. ETC Solar Water Heaters Systems comes with advanced technology of three-layered evacuated glass tubes that provide insulation and outer wall is coated with high-grade absorption material.By these, the tubes absorb the maximum sunlight even in the cloudy season, results in continuous hot water for your home.
1.There is less heat loss. Because the absorbing plates are cylindrical, Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) absorb heat energy from the surrounding weather reaching the required temperature quicker than Flat Plate Collectors. They can extract heat out of a humid atmosphere and do not need direct sunlight to function.
2.The transparent tubes guarantee the efficiency is high and offers better performance even when the sun is not at a suitable angle.
3.Due to the simple configuration of Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC), heated water is optimally circulated.
4.It has low maintenance. The components of Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) are designed to withstand unfavourable weather conditions. For this reason, they can be installed in areas of extreme weather conditions for water heating.
5.It has low maintenance. The components of Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) are designed to withstand unfavourable weather conditions. For this reason, they can be installed in areas of extreme weather conditions for water heating.
Flat Plate Collectors (FPC) used the greenhouse effect, the Flat Plate Collector converts solar energy from the sun into heat energy, which then is transferred to the water system in residential and commercial houses.
FPC Solar Water Heater absorb the solar radiation by Flat Plate Collectors which consist of an insulated outer metallic box covered on the top with glass sheet. Inside there are blackened metallic absorber (selectively coated) sheets with built in channels or riser tubes to carry water. The sides and bottom of the collector are usually insulated to minimize the heat loss. Sunlight passes through the glazing and strikes the absorber plate, which is made of copper plate, which heats up, changing solar energy into heat energy ensuring high efficiency and durability. The heat is transferred to liquid passing through pipes attached to the absorber plate.
1.Low Maintenance: Flat Plate Collector functioning requires less maintenance to keep it running effectively. The collector when installed outside is more reliable to withstand harsh weather conditions.
2.Easy Construction: The construction is easy because of the simple stationary design. The collector box is designed in a way to keep the water sufficiently heated.
3. There is less heat loss. It is easy to install.
4.Reliability: The solar Flat Plate Collector is more effective at delivering the desired quantity of heated water at the needed temperature. This is one of the reasons why it is highly in demand in many houses.
