sunrain vacuum tube solar heaters


Overview

When investing in solar technology, it is important to ensure the "engine" you select is the most powerful and the longest lasting made. This is why we use SunRain's patented "3-Hi" vacuum tubes. The absorber coating found on the inner layer determines how efficient the vacuum tube will operate. The method and material of this coating will also define the life expectancy of the vacuum tube.

Most vacuum tubes use a hi-tech reactive sputtering process to coat the inner tube. Typically this coating is made from an aluminum and aluminum-nitrogen coating (Al-N/Al) which is the primary absorber coating. SunRain's International patented interference film coating "3 Hi” vacuum tubes use 3 systems to ensure the most effective heat absorption. This included an AL-N/AI layer but also a separate aluminum and copper layer. The added layer conducts heat more efficiently and also stabilizes the coating allowing for a much longer lifespan of 20 years or longer with proper maintenance.

The heat exchange process is also an important factor in the performance of solar evacuated tube systems. SunRain developed a manifold to house heat pipes with larger bulbs to increase the rate of heat exchange from the vacuum tube to the heating fluid. The heat pipe which sits inside of the evacuated tube, wrapped with an aluminum heat sink, quickly absorbs all of the heat within the tube and concentrates it at the bulb. The bulb sits inside a port in the manifold where heat transfer fluid flows across on the inside the manifold pulling the heat away where it is transfered to a storage tank. The larger bulb size allows for more surface area contact with the fluids and an incease in the rate of heat transfer, which in turn allows the collector to deliver more heat energy.


SunRain Versus the Competition

As the worlds leader in Solar Vacuum tubes, SunRain clearly has done so by providing quality products at affordable prices. SunRain Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors are the most cost-effective collectors on the market, they offer the best performance at the best price – THE BEST VALUE AVAILABLE! SunRain Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors out-perform all major competitors – and are available for hundreds of dollars less.

Based on actual German Keymark Testing and SRCC, here is how the SunRain performs against the leading vacuum tube manufacturer competitors:
