Evacuated Solar Vacuum Tube has a Crucial Role in Every Solar Water Heater
Evacuated
Solar vacuum tubes are the essential parts for every solar collector,
used for the functional absorption and conversion of sunlight into
utilizable energy. Mostly the evacuated Solar vacuum tube is consists of
two glass tubes merged at both ends. The gap between them consists of a
solar absorbing coating over the inner tube. The evacuated layer
provides an exceptional insulation that facilitates in preserve over 92%
of the solar energy. To mention few design features of solar vacuum
tube responsible for an effective solar water heater as follows.
Best quality glass material
each one of the evacuated solar vacuum tubes
is prepared with tough and transparent Borosilicate glass, The
thickened glass partition offer excellent durability and strength to
resist breakage, as well as cost-effective.
Vacuum Insulation support
The
insulation layer space between the thin glass tubes, drive out the air
to form a vacuum that provides an excellent insulating property to
conserve the energy without any loss to the surrounding. These are truly
ideal for high hot water application, especially in cold or winter
areas.
Barium Getter layer
Barium
getter is responsible for increasing the lifespan of the evacuated
solar vacuum tube that ensures the vacuum space inside it will remain
intact over a large period, usually over 20 years of time. The Barium
getter is also helping in maintaining the efficiency by sucking
remaining air and other gases in the evacuated layer over time. When the
vacuum is lost the barium layer turns white make easy to indicate the
vacuum position.
Solar absorber coating
Every
evacuated solar vacuum tube has a unique aluminum coating applied
through a very reliable dc reactive sputtering process. The base layer
on the inner glass tube surface will absorb as much of solar energy as
possible. The stainless steel reflector surface on the solar water
heater prevents heat loss through radiation thus preserve more and more
energy.
Efficiency
Vacuum
insulation in a solar vacuum tube is highly effective when it comes to
preventing heat loss. The absorber coating helps to save lot of energy
captured into the inner glass tube, while the vacuum layer prevents the
heat lose to the surrounding. It ensures that the outer glass remains
normal and can be touched. This arrangement makes the evacuated solar
vacuum tube resourceful for solar water heater. It has the capacity to
retain the heat about 200 degree indicates that every evacuated solar
vacuum tube can provide over 60 Watts energy output on a clear shine
day.
Heat extraction
Several
ways are there that help to extract heat produced in an evacuated solar
vacuum tube such as heat pipe, U tube pipe, direct water flow, or
pipe-in-pipe. The most efficient and resourceful method is the use of
heat pipe to transfer the heat.
Evacuated
solar vacuum tube can be of different designs may be single walled and
double walled tubes with different functions and the most preferred are
the twin wall tubes since they are more efficient in a solar water
heater.
