Thermomax Solar Hot Water Panel
A solar collector absorbs solar radiation and converts it into heat (photo-thermal conversion).
The high efficiency solar collector implies maximum absorption of incident solar radiation with
a minimum thermal and optical loss. Selective coating characteristics of the absorber and the
vacuum insulation are the most important parts of an advanced collector. A selective surface has
high absorption (low reflection) for the solar spectrum and low emissivity for the infrared heat
radiation. The selective coating used in the collector consists of a thin, precise layer of an
amorphous semiconductor plated on to a metal substratum; this has a low emission for long-wave
radiation.

Thermomax Mechanical Shock Absorption
A patented flexible neck system absorbs mechanical shocks.
Thermomax system is designed for all weather conditions. While the ambient temperature is in
sub-zero range, the condenser can experience super high temperatures (300°F).

Thermomax Heat Pipe Technologies

A heat pipe acts like a high conductance thermal conductor. Due to its thermal-physical properties,
its heat transfer rate is thousand's times greater than that of the best solid heat conductor of
the same dimensions. The basic heat pipe is a closed container consisting of a capillary wick
structure and a small amount of vaporizable fluid.
A heat pipe employs an evaporating-condensing cycle, which accepts heat from an external source,
uses this heat to evaporate the liquid (latent heat) and then releases latent heat by reverse
transformation (condensation) at a heat sink region. This process is repeated continuously by
a return feed mechanism of the condensed fluid back to the heat zone.
In the solar collector, the condensation zone is at a higher level than the evaporation zone.
The transport medium condensed (in the condensation zone) returns to the evaporation zone under
the influence of the gravity. Then, there is no need of capillary wick structure.
The maximum operating temperature of a heat pipe is the critical temperature of the used heat
transfer medium. Since no evaporation/condensation above the critical temperature is possible,
the thermodynamic cycle interrupts when the temperature of the evaporator exceeds the critical
temperature.
