APRICUS PRODUCTS

Excellent Cold Weather Performance

Apricus collectors can perform well even in freezing conditions thanks to thick glass wool insulation and the vacuum insulated evacuated tubes. This is in contrast to flat plate collectors that perform poorly in cold conditions.

Passive Sun Tracking

Apricus collectors are designed with a round absorber surface that can passively track the sun throughout the day. This means more stable heat output throughout the day, not just at midday. The tubes are also spaced close together to minimize light loss between the tubes, and eliminate the need for a reflective panel.

Freeze Protected Heat Pipes

Apricus heat pipes are designed to withstand freezing without damage, which means that the collector can operate in very cold regions.

All Stainless Steel Mounting Frames

Stainless steel provides strength and corrosion resistance, and is used for all Apricus collector frame components.

Special Sprung Heat Pipe Design

Apricus has developed a special spring assembly design to ensure heat pipes are kept firmly in contact with the header pipe within the manifold. Tighter contact means faster heat transfer, which is key for high collector efficiency.

Product Certification

Apricus has obtained key international product certificates for solar collectors, allowing sale in most regions worldwide.
