Your Global Partner

At Kingspan Insulated Panels, we are pioneering better technologies and methods of building for a low carbon world. Improving building performance, construction methods and ultimately people’s lives – that’s what drives our people across the world. Energy efficiency is at the heart of our innovation, from making the industry’s most thermally efficient core for our insulated panels, producing the most airtight interfaces and providing technical and field-service support on how to build optimally.

As the world demands more from buildings in terms of energy efficiency, fire safety, weather resilience, health and aesthetics, we have expanded beyond insulated panels in recent years to encompass high-end facades, smart LED lighting, integrated PV and structural steel solutions.

Together with the learnings from our ongoing research into better building design, these enhanced Kingspan envelopes will take our built environment to the next era of efficiency and wellbeing.

Net Zero Energy by 2020

Kingspan Insulated Panels is part of the Kingspan Group of companies. The Kingspan Group has committed to becoming a Net Zero Energy business by 2020.

Net Zero Energy means that our facilities will be energy neutral on an aggregated basis across the Kingspan estate over the period of a year. This energy neutrality will be achieved by a combination of energy efficiency measures, on-site renewable energy generation (including export to the supply grids) and off-site renewable energy generation (related directly to Kingspan).

We have made great progress since our Net-Zero Energy initiative began in 2011. Aligning with the Group’s strategic objectives we have a clear and robust management and governance system. We have also won various awards, received various prestigious accreditations and positively engaged with all stakeholders.

The Kingspan Group has committed to becoming a Net Zero Energy business by 2020.

Solar Radiation Across Africa Middle East

Solar radiation is a general term for the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.It can be captured and converted into useful forms of energy, such as heat, using solar thermal collectors.

The technical feasibility and economical operation at a specific location depends on the available solar radiation.

The energy from the sun acting on the earth’s surface, over a 15 minute period, is more then the earth’s total energy requirement for a year. The amount of yearly global radiation on a horizontal surface may reach over 2,200 kWh/m2 in sunny regions. Global radiation comprises direct and diffuse radiation. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, some of it is absorbed, reflected and scattered by air molecules, clouds and dust particles, this is known as diffuse radiation.

The portion of radiation that hits the earth’s surface without any change in direction is known as direct radiation.

How It Works:Solar Thermal System

Facts: To convert solar radiation into useful heat using a solar collector, the collector should be south-facing at an angle perpendicular to the sun.

ProcessAll components work together to heat water from sunlight.

Sunlight hits the solar collector and heats thermal transfer liquid passing through it.

A pump circulates the heated thermal transfer liquid from the solar collector to the water tank coil, where its heat transfers to water within the tank.

The pump returns the cooled thermal transfer liquid to the solar collector for reheating.

When needed, a back-up heat source, such as a boiler, on-demand water heater, or electrical immersion element, boosts the tank water to the desired temperature before it is distributed to its end use.

The differential temperature controller monitors and regulates the circulation rate of the thermal transfer liquid, based on weather and hot water demand.

The expansion tank regulates system pressure as the thermal transfer liquid expands and contracts.

Solar Thermal Systems Product Overview

Kingspan Solar Evacuated Tube Collector

The Kingspan Solar collector is the most efficient, long lasting solar collector on the market today. Made in Europe since 1982, our evacuated tubes have withstood the test of time.

Each collector consists of a highly insulated manifold and a series of evacuated tubes. The vacuum inside each tube provides perfect insulation, protecting the system from outside influences, such as cold and windy weather or high humidity.

� Highly efficient – super fast heat transfer

� Ease of installation and maintenance

� Available in Direct Flow (DF400) and Heat Pipe (HP400 and HP450) options

� ‘Plug and play’ design

We offer a range of Solar Thermal Solutions to Suit Every Application

Installation Couldn’t Be Easier

Varisol technology provides a modern and adaptable alternative to traditional rigid manifold systems.

Its precise sizing and modular flexibility means it can be sized to the exact requirements of the end user, so they only use and pay for what is needed for ultimate results.

It is completely expandable so customers can grow their solar systems as their needs change.

Kingspan Solar’s Unique Varisol Design

World leading evacuated tubes and a new click-fit design, combine to make the world’s first modular solar thermal collector.


Kingspan SolarHeat Pipe Collectors

How It WorksAn absorber plate is located inside a glass tube where a vacuum is pulled to keep the losses to the environment as low as possible. 99.999999% of the air is removed from inside the glass enclosure during the manufacture of the tubes to mimimise heat loss. The heat pipe is the method of heat transfer from inside the tube to the manifold, where a water glycol mixture flows past the condenser heat at the top of the heat pipe and pulls the energy away.

On the back of the copper absorber plate is a welded small copper tube. This tube is sealed at the bottom and, before it is sealed at the top, a small amount of fluid is added to the tube and a vacuum pulled inside the tube. The vacuum inside the heat pipe causes the water to boil at 29,4 °C instead of its usual 100°C. The absorber plate collects energy from the sun and becomes hot, causing the water in the heat pipe to boil. The steam naturally rises up to the top of the heat pipe and into the condenser head which is located inside the manifold. Glycol flowing past the condenser head causes the water to condense, heating the glycol and causing the water to run back down to the bottom of the heat pipe allowing the process to continue when significant light is available (Figure 1).

The heat pipe is a very efficient method of transferringthe energy from the tubes to the glycol in the manifold. Each tube plugs into a dry socket in the manifold where the glycol runs past it. This allows for individual tubes to be removed from the system without having to drain the glycol. The system can also be commissioned, flushed and filled prior to inserting the tubes into the collectors, an important point for large systems that need to be commissioned before a building is occupied. When the time comes, simply insert the tubes into the system and it is ready to produce hot water.

Melamine Foam Insulation


Solar Thermal Systems Product Overview

The manifold itself is formed from heavy duty aluminum extrusions on the front and back. Inside is the condenser manifold where the heat transfer occurs between the condenser and the glycol flowing past. To install the tubes simply open the manifold cover, line the tubes up with the manifold, and press them into place. When finished, close the manifold cover and this will retain the tubes in position.The manifold is the only area of the system that becomes hot and is not protected by a vacuum, so it is protected with high tech melamine foam insulation. This insulation has a very low U-value and is stable at the high temperatures the collector can achieve.

The image above shows the other key components of the heat pipe tube. The getter is a layer of barium that is deposited on the inside of the tube after the vacuum is drawn. This protects the vacuum over time from any air molecules that may make their way through the glass.

If the vacuum is lost in one of the tubes, the getter will turn white to indicate this. The TiNOx coating used on the tubes is designed to absorb 96% of the sun’s energy that strikes it while emitting only 4% back to the environment. This is currently the best available coating for solar collectors.
