The products are environmentally friendly, remarkably versatile, and offer excellent performance even in extreme environments. The wide range of solar collectors enables Chromagen to provide cost-effective solutions which comply with a variety of international standards.
Absorber Plate
Made of aluminium sheet, laser welded to copper tubes – ensuring high efficiency and durability.
Absorber Plate Coating
Selective paint or ultra selective sputtered coating with excellent energy absorption and very low energy emission for high performance even in cooler climates.
Insulation
The absorber plate is encased in 23 mm rigid polyurethane foam, with an option to add an additional layer of glass wool – retaining the collector’s heat.
Solar Glass Glazing
The single-pane 3.2 mm patterned and tempered solar glass has high solar transmittance of 91% and excellent durability.
Casings
- Anodized aluminum extrusion casings are made of solid construction – available in a natural color.
- Galvanized steel casings are available in a black or metal grey polyester paint finish.
Tubing Grid
16 mm or 8 mm copper risers brazed to 28 mm or 22 mm copper or aluminum manifolds with optimal flow distribution.
Piping Connection
Four 3/4” BSPP female brass adaptors or clear cut edge for connector brazing or “quick connect”.
Back Plate
The back plate is made of black polypropylene sheet.
Aluminum Foil
The aluminum foil, integrated to the insulation, acts as a barrier against out-gassing.
