How It Works:
Flat plate collectors capture solar energy by employing the green house effect. The glass covering permits up to 90% of the visible sunlight to enter the collector. When the light passes through the glass its frequency is changed slightly to a lower energy level. When the light strikes the absorbing surface of the flat plate inside, the light is absorbed as heat. The combination of the glass frequency change and the solar absorbing surface of the plate capture the maximum amount of energy. As the absorber plate heats up it begins to radiate energy as infrared (IR) or heat radiation. Glass is essentially opaque to IR wavelengths so the heat is trapped increasing the temperature.

General:
Certified by the Solar Rating & Certification Corp.
Tested in conformance with ASHRAE 93-86 SRCC 100-81
Glazed liquid flat plate type
Extruded anodized aluminum casing
Dark bronze finish
Notched framewalls for ease of plate removal
Stainless steel fasteners
1" vent plugs on each corner to minimize condensation

Glazing:
1/8 inch low iron tempered glass with a minimum transmissivity of 89%
Thermally isolated from the casing by a continuous EPDM gasket
Continuous secondary silicone seal between the glass and casing
capstrip to minimize moisture from entering the casing.

Insulation:
Foil-faced polyisocyanurate foam sheathing board of a minimum 1 inch
thickness, siliconed in place to the aluminum backsheet, covered by
low-binder fiberglass of a minimum 1 inch thickness, providing thermal
isolation of the foam from the absorber plate.
Total thermal resistance minimum of R-12.
Sides and ends of the collector are insulated with a minimum of 1 inch
foil-faced polyisocyanurate foam sheathing board.

Absorber Plate and Piping:
Roll-formed copper plate of no less than .008 inch thickness. Risers are
a minimum of 1/2 inch O.D.
Type M copper tubing on no more than 4 1/2 inch centers continuously
soldered to the plate utilizing a non-corrosive solder paste with a
melting point of 460oF.
The risers brazed to 1 1/8 inch O. D. Type M (1 5/8 inch O.D. on
EC/EP40-1.5) copper manifolds utilizing a copper phosphorous brazing
alloy with no less than 15 percent silver content, and conforming to the
American Welding Societys BCuP-5 classification.
EPDM grommets isolate the manifold from the aluminum casing.
The absorber plate designed for 160 psig maximum operating pressure.

Absorber Coating and Performance Curve:
Moderately Selective Black Paint with a minimum absorptivity of 94
percent and a maximum emissivity of 56 percent.
The instantaneous efficiency of the collector has a minimum Y-intercept
of 0.682 and a slope of no less than -0.7995 (BTU/ft2hr)/F.
