18tubes Balcony solar collector
Balcony solar collector is a type of heat pipe solar collector which can be mounted on balcony wall or balcony rail.Beacuse the limited area of balcony, the balcony solar collector should be special shorted design to meet this limited area. The vacuum tube will be shorter than normal length 1800mm to be 1000mm.Other composition are same as normal heat pipe solar collector with manifold,heat pipe evacuated tubes and with wall mounted frame.same working ways, heat pipe evacuated tubes get solar energy and convert it into heat power to heat the heat pipe fluid to be vapor to the tip of heat pipe and exchange the heat to manifold fluid as a heat exchange circulation and vapor in tip of heat pipe turns back to fluid and back to buttom of heat pipe for another solar energy circle working.Usually the this balcony solar collector works with balcony hanging solar water heater tank which with jacket designed .Glycol will be filling to the jacket and goes through to the heat pipe manifold. The solar water heater tank will be placed higher than balcony solar collector for passive circulation by glycol heat medium circulation heat exchanger to heat tank water.

What' s the Balcony solar collector and how it works?
Balcony mounting heat pipe Solar collector is a collecting device which special design for balcony place or limited installation place.It adopts heat pipe evacuated tube. The absorbing tubes collect and convert the sun energy into heat energy,then transfer the heat to the heat pipes by aluminum fins, the liquid in the heat pipe turns into vapor and rises to the condenser and release the energy to water or other liquid filled in manifold, after heat exchanger, the conducted vapor turned into fluid and back to the bottom of heat pipe for next heating circulation.
Focus information of balcony solar collector:
ü Support Bracket is designed special for balcony or wall mounting
ü Save the installation space
ü Solve the issue who has no roof area for installation
ü The tubes are special design shorter for balcony
