Solar Thermal Collectors
To the ancient Greeks “Apricus” meant sun loving. The Apricus vacuum tube and heat pipe solar collector technology offers a major breakthrough in the effectiveness of solar heating.
Highly efficient twin glass evacuated solar tubes prevent heat loss - you can think of them as a thermos flask and a greenhouse rolled into one. Apricus collectors are unaffected by cold weather and will even gain heat on moderately cloudy days. Inside these solar tubes are high quality evacuated copper heat pipes. In this vacuum the liquid heat transfer medium vaporizes easily allowing rapid heat transfer to the collector manifold. Heat pipes mean stronger and lighter solar collectors that are easily maintained.

Round solar tubes have other advantages too. The sun’s rays are always perpendicular to the absorber surface so the collectors passively track the sun allowing the collectors to perform well all day. It all adds up to more stable heat gain throughout the day and more versatile installation options.

Apricus Solar Collectors are fully certified by the world’s leading solar certification authorities and come with a ten year warrantee.

They are perfect for large scale hot water needs, industrial pre-heat applications, large scale air conditioning projects using absorption and adsorption chiller technology, solar underfloor heating and domestic hot water needs.
