TypicalSpecificationfor Lochinvar-TiSun® Solar Thermal Collectors

Models SLV030 and SLH030

The Collectors shall be a LOCHINVAR Model SLV______or Model SLH_______glazed flat plate solar thermal collectors. The Collector shall be certified with the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) to standard OG-100-05.

The Collector shall meet or exceed the thermal performance rating for the SRCC “Clear Day” test standard (Category C)as listed below.

SLV030 / SLH030
28,400 BTU/day / 28,400 BTU/day

The Collectorshall be a Parallel Flow Absorption Plate constructed of an extruded aluminum alloy that is powder coated with RAL7019 Bronze Color. The Header shall be 0.87” full hard coated copper tube per riser of 0.35” serpentine copper tubes. Copper tubing shall feature brazed junctions using approved brazing alloy for high temperature operation. The Absorber shall be aluminum welded to the copper riser. The Absorber shall coated with a Physical Vapor Deposit (PVD) finish with a high selectivity Header and Riser arrangement in a serpentine configuration such to allow all fluid media to drain from the collector if stagnation conditions are present. The insulation shall be 1.57” mineral wool insulation. The Collector shall have a 0.16” low iron prismatic safety glass with glazing gasket and UV resistant silicone seals.

The Collector shall be installed to complete forced circulation systems that are to be pressurized to 60 psi. This allows working temperatures up to 248°F. Brazed copper, Stainless Steel Flex (rated for solar applications), or approved copper tube with ProPress (FKM Seals) fittings shall be specified to complete the necessary supply & return pipe work. The Collector shall have an integral bulbwell and temperature sensor located in the supply header at the highest point.

The Collector shall have a Limited 10 year warranty, 1-year on parts from material defect and workmanship. The Collector shall be suitable for use with propylene glycol, up to 50% concentration. The Collector shall be tested at 1½ times the working pressure. The Collector shall be mounted at no less than a 15° angle and no greater than a 70° angle. The Collector shall include a proprietary 10” stinger bulb-well that is to be immersed in the flow stream to accurately measure fluid temperature in the collector.
