CHROMAGEN has fine-tuned the design and manufacture of solar collectors to an art. Collectors are assembled using the highest quality materials and advanced techniques, which result in highly-efficient, durable products you can depend on for years to come.
Our products are environmentally friendly, remarkably versatile and offer high performance even in extreme environments. CHROMAGEN panels are suitable for all kinds of hot water systems and provide consistent results under any weather conditions.
Selective coated collector combining all known effective features:
- Best selectivity - high absorption and low emissivity
- No galvanic corrosion
- Ultrasonic welding of copper strips to risers - high fin efficiency
- Aluminum case - rigid and aesthetic with roof integration slots
Features
Absorber Plate - Copper fins ultrasonically welded to copper risers provide excellent heat transfer between the fins and risers. Coated with black chrome on nikel and producing a superior selective surface for solar energy use.
Tubing Grid - 3/8" copper risers brazed to 1" copper mainfolds with an optimal flow distribution.
Piping Grid - Four 1" Type M copper tubes.
Aluminum Foil - Attached to the insulation, acts as a barrier against out-gasing.
Solar Glass Glazing - A single pane of 1/8" thick solar glass is patterned to reduce reflection and tempered to maximize strength and durability. *Iron oxide content 0.03%
Back Plate - Made of black polypropylene sheet.
Insulation - 1-3/16" polyurethane foam cast under and around the side of the absorber plate, retains the heat of the water in the collector. DFC-free P.U. meets U.S. and European standards. A 3/4" layer of mineral wool protects the polyurethane and provides additional collector insulation.
Casing - All aluminum extrusion casings create a sleek framewall with no visible rivets or screws. A unique extruded profile bolts on and anchors to the roof (shingled, tile, tar) or collector stand.
Gaskets - 1-3/16" polyurethane foam cast under and around the side of the absorber plate, retains the heat of the water in the collector. DFC-free P.U. meets U.S. and European standards. A 3/4" layer of mineral wool protects the polyurethane and provides additional collector insulation.
