SPX Type, 5.05 m² / 10.3 m², Vacuum Tube Collector for Large Area Solar Thermal Systems
Heat Pipe Technology
Pre-assembled modules
Antifreeze or water
Design and project management
Innovative and durable; Not susceptible to contamination
Can be used with antifreeze or water
At the factory
At mains temperatures up to 120 °C
AHI-Carrier
Rugged Design, Low Maintenance Cost
No direct contact between the fluid and the coolant, allowing for easy tube replacement when the system is full
Thanks to the large heat exchange surfaces,
Thanks to the highly efficient thermal insulation of the collector housing
AHI-Carrier offers the new Vitosol 200-T vacuum tube manifolds (SPX type) depending on the specific project. Two modules are available. In the standard version with an area of 5.05 sq. m, collectors and pipes are assembled at the construction site. This is recommended for collectors with an area of 200 to 600 square meters.
The collector with an area of 10.3 sq. m consists of a body, vacuum tubes and a mounting frame and is delivered assembled. It can be quickly installed with a crane. It is the ideal size for use in local heating networks (e.g. in bioenergy villages) and for industrial heat generation.
Thanks to the heat pipe principle, Vitosol 200-T (type SPX) offers excellent operational reliability. Vacuum tube technology allows mains temperatures of up to 120°C. Dry connection means that the tubes can be inserted or replaced even when the system is full. Additional benefits include highly efficient operation, low pressure drop, and simple hydraulic design.
To protect against freezing, the manifolds can be filled with a mixture of water and propylene glycol (passive) or only with water (active). In this way, they can meet individual specifications depending on the customer’s requirements and environmental conditions (e.g. water protection zone).
Vitosol 200-T (SPX type) is suitable for free-standing installation on supports or for mounting on a roof or on supports on flat or pitched roofs. All the necessary components such as the pumping station, controller, piping and utilities are also included in the scope of delivery.
