6 FAQs about [Solar Vacuum Tube Steam Generator]

Can a solar thermal system be combined with a heat generator?

By combining solar thermal with a heat generator, energy efficiency class A+ (as a system label) can generally be achieved for the overall heating system. In our central, clearly laid out ViBooks database, you can quickly and easily find the operating instructions, data sheets and all kinds of brochures you need.

How does a vacuum tube work?

In a vacuum there is no heat transfer which means that the vacuum tube is almost perfectly insulated. Like an extreme version of a Thermos that keeps coffee hot, the Sunbank evacuated tubes preserve the 400 degree temperatures inside the tube while the outside remains cool to the touch.

Can I use vicare with a Viessmann heat generator?

* ViCare app and ViGuide only in conjunction with a Viessmann heat generator up to 60 kW with Connectivity Inside or Vitoconnect internet interface. ESOP Online is a program you can use to calculate the yield of Viessmann solar thermal systems.

How does a CSP solar system work?

CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) solar systems produce thermal energy (heat) through the use of mirrors. These systems focus solar radiation on a receiver SUNCNIM has designed its own technology based on Fresnel mirrors. Several rows of slightly curved mirrors reflect the sunlight onto a fixed receiver tube called absorber.

What is an evacuated tube collector?

The evacuated tube collector is made up of three main components: an evacuated glass tube with a selective coating that optimizes absorption, aluminum fins that transfer the heat inside the tube to a copper heat pipe, and a heat pipe which transfers this heat to the water.

What is a Sunbank evacuated tube?

Like an extreme version of a Thermos that keeps coffee hot, the Sunbank evacuated tubes preserve the 400 degree temperatures inside the tube while the outside remains cool to the touch. This allows that heat to be transferred to the water tank instead of being wasted.
