SOL 27 PREMIUM S & W COLLECTORS - 230016 & 230017

single pane safety glass. As the light strikes the absorber 
plate, it is converted to heat. The highly selective vacuum 
coating of the absorber and the thermal insulation on the 
back of the absorber keep heat lossed to the environment to 
a minimum.

The thermal energy produced by the collector is transported 
by the heat transfer medium (solar loop fl uid), via a 
circulating pump, to the storage tank(s)/ The inside of the 
collector can fog up under certain operating conditions 
(e.g., large tank with low temperature compared to the 
outdoor temperature and/or high relative humidity). Vent 
holes are provided in the collectors for venting humidity and 
equalizing air pressure.
