Evacuated Tubes - Explained

Solargain evacuated glass tubes provide superior 
daily heat output due to the cylindrical absorber 
shape always being perpendicular to the sun. 
Evacuating the heat pipe and placing a small amount 

of purified water inside, this in turn makes the 
purified water evacuated. 

The purified water will boil at 30

o

C. When the  

vacuum tube absorbs the solar energy and  

the temperature in the heat pipe rises to 30

o

C, 

 

the water vaporizes at the top of the heat pipe 

condenser, when the heat pipe condenser meets 
lower temperature, the water will fill and return to 
the bottom of the heat pipe, this process repeats 

until the sun goes down.

Flat Panels - Explained

Solargain’s flat panel collectors have been designed by 
Australians, for Australian conditions. Our collectors 
consist of a copper fin and tube design, manufactured 

from high grade copper ultrasonically welded together
