The Apricus Solar Collector or Solar Water Heater is a device that absorbs thermal energy from the sun and converts it into usable heat.
The heat is normally absorbed by water, or a freeze resistant water mix, which can then be used to supplement hot water heating, space heating and even space cooling via use of an absorption chiller or dessicant cooler technology.
Evacuated tubes are the absorber of the solar water heater. They absorb solar energy converting it into heat for use in water heating.
Evacuated tubes have already been used for years in Germany, Canada, China and the UK. There are several types of evacuated tubes in use in the solar industry.
Apricus collectors use the most common “twin-glass tube”. This type of tube is chosen for its reliability, performance and low manufacturing cost.
