Quick and easy installation due to plug & play design Designed for exible building integration: can be installed

on sloping roofs, at roofs or faades individual tubes can

be angled up to 15 to achieve best performance for building

orientation

Faster payback

Rapid conductivity and transfer of energy into heat

Patented snap disk technology providing a thermal shut-off

provides unrivalled levels of safety and signicantly reduces

risk of system overheating (stagnating)

Hermetic seal fusion between the internal copper tube and

the glass also ensures superior vacuum in the tube, over

a longer period of time

Ultra-sonic weld between absorber plate and tube ensures

most efficient heat transfer

Flexible neck for ease and speed of installation

Hail impact resistance the robust tube construction

provides protection from adverse weather conditions

High quality glass - soda lime glass provides long life and

high transmissibility

Up to 30% more effective than at plate collectors

Average 25-year lifespan

Up to 20 years warranty

Solar Accredited Installer

MCS approved

Easy InstallationThe unique plug and play design of Thermomax solar

collectors makes installation quick and easy. There is no need

for heavy lifting equipment as tubes can be carried onto the

roof individually. The collector is xed to the roof by easy-t

brackets, which are simply xed to the rafter.

The Complete Package

Thermomax vacuum tubes capture and retain energy from the

sun more efficiently and effectively than at plate panels.

The vacuum inside each tube provides perfect insulation and

suppresses heat loss by protecting the system from outside

inuences, such as cold, wet or windy weather, which resultsin superior performance all year round. Thermomax offer 2

models of vacuum tube collectors:

HP400 - Heat Pipe Collectors

DF100 - Direct Flow Collectors

The device is open and heattransfer occurs until thecondenser reaches 95C

Snap disks operate andclose the device, stoppingheat transfer into condenser

Device re-opens astemperature falls below 95C,reactivating heat transfer

HP400 collectors

contain a uniquepatented temperaturelimitation device for

system protection.

Solar Collector

You need to decide where your solarcollector will be positioned on your house.To get the best efficiency, the collectorshould be installed facing due south atan angle of 30-40. Vacuum tubes can berotated to help compensate for less thanperfect roof angles in order to maximizeenergy absorption.

Solar Collector size

It is important that the solar hot watersystem is sized correctly in relation to thenumber of occupants in your house tomaximize efficiency. There are two typicalcollector sizes for homes a 2m collectorfor a home with one or two adults or a 3mcollector for one with three to ve adults.

Simple Steps to Solar Hot WaterCylinder

A twin coil hot water storage tankenables energy input from the centralheating system to the top half of thetank and energy input from solar systemto the bottom half of the tank. Werecommend a stainless steel unit for usein a pressurised system and copper foruse in an open vented system.

Install with Condence

To ensure that you receive the higheststandards of conduct, workmanshipand customer service, Kingspan hasintroduced a national network ofaccredited installers, to bring peaceof mind to those looking to installrenewable hot water systems. Please visitour website for up-to-date list of KSAIs.

Collectorcontribution(%)The installation of a Kingspan Solar system is designed to

supply up to 70% of free hot water throughout the year. In the

summer months it is estimated that at least 95% of all hot

water is free. Therefore the boiler will be switched off, which

means less contamination of the atmosphere from the

emission of ue gases and lower energy bills.

Solar energy is a free source of energy available throughout

the year. By taking advantage of the knowledge in

technology of Kingspan Solar you will be saving the use of

fossil fuels which in turn helps the environment by creating less

carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that may pollute

the atmosphere.
