THE SOLAR COLLECTORS


The solar collector, as used in a Radiantec Solar Heating System, is a shallow aluminum box with
a tempered glass cover sheet. Typical nominal dimensions are 4 ft x 8 ft x 4 in, although other
sizes are available. The weight will be about 125 pounds. Several collectors are usually connected
to each other so that they form one large solar collector array. The collectors have “internal
headers” which go across the top and bottom and have outlets on the sides. When the collectors
are connected, the headers of one solar collector are soldered to the headers of the other. A
water based antifreeze solution flows into the bottom of the collector on one side and comes
out the top on the other side after being heated by the sun
