Kingspan launches new version of Varisol solar-thermal collector

Kingspan, solar thermal, renewable energy, DHW, domestic hot wayer

Kingspan’s Varisol HP evacuated-tube solar-thermal collector uses high-performance polymer material to allow the tubes to simply click together to create the required size of collector. The system also includes Kingspan’s heat-pipe technology, which includes a temperature-limitation device in the condenser to protect the system, along with dry tube connections for ease of installation and maintenance. These collectors can be used in commercial and domestic installations, and their performance does not degrade.

Up to 150 tubes can be connected in series, and an installation can be expanded as required. A system comes with a 20-year guarantee when installed by a Kingspan solar accredited installer.

The new Varisol model incorporates Thermomax HP vacuum-tube collectors.
