Flat-plate
Collector is an insulated metal box with a glass cover
(called the glazing) and a selective coating absorber plate.
These collectors are best suited for moderate temperature
applications where the demand temperature is 30-60°c.
Flat-plate
Collectors heat liquid as it flows through tubes in or adjacent
to the absorber plate.
The simplest
systems use potable household water, which is heated as it
passes directly through the collector and then flows to the
house.
If the solar
collector is to be used in cold climate area, please consider
vacuum collector.
