Apollon Collector

The Apollon collector with one piece external seamless trough and copper water frame is the ideal choice that combines reliability with efficiency. The selective absorber - made of selective aluminium sheet with a special titan coating formed in vacuum - achieves high levels of absorbency 95% (±2%) and at the same time low radiation 5% (±2%) making Apollon collector a prime choice.

Apollon collector used in:

  • Solar water heaters Apollon
  • Solar water heaters Hyperion
  • Forced circulation systems

APOLLON AL S.I. & CU

Apollon AL S.I.: Enhanced with 20mm lateral insulation of glasswool

Apollon CU: Copper absorber with extra 20mm lateral insulation of glasswool

Collector Apollon

External one piece trough of naval aluminium alloy, rich in magnesium for protection against corrosion.
Robust construction - Perfect tightness - High aesthetics

High density eco-friendly thermal insulation achieved with a 60mm thick layer of prepressed rockwool with a covering of black glass fabric for the minimization of thermal losses. Rockwool insulation thermal conductivity: λ=0,035 W/(m°C).
(DIN 56612, measured at 0°C)

Headers are punched with upper expansion for perfect manifolds fitting, thus avoiding pressure drop in the collectors.
Tube pitch=93mm (EN 1652).
Selective complete area absorber made of selective aluminium sheet of high absorbency and low radiation that covers the complete window area as well as the headers, thus increasing the collector's absorbency. Laser welded to the water frame.

Available in a variety of colors to chose from including metallic, grey, tile and black.

Low iron tempered solar glass, with a stable coefficient of expansion and high light transmittance; can withstand adverse weather conditions (e.g. hail storm, extreme temperature changes, etc.).
UV proofed EPDM solar glass rubber seal.
Aluminium profile (Al Mg Si 05) for solar glass seating and supporting, enhanced with special openings in order for the penetration of water into the collector to be avoided, thus achieving perfect tightness.

Special plastic parts for supporting and sealing the water frame to the trough, specially designed for the collector's ventilation, ith temperature sensor supporting option. Special silicone rubber seals allow fluctuation of the absorber's length (contraction - expansion) at all temperature (from -40 °C and up to +200 °C).

Four internal M8 threads integrated in the trough for simple and safe collector mounting on the support base.

Support base

Support base for installation on both flat and inclined surface, specially designed for simple mounting and inertia optimization.
Used with Apollon solar water heaters (electrostatically painted with stainless steel screws), with Hyperion solar water heaters and forced circulation systems (galvanized steel).

Designed with the most modern calculation methods, according to which it is subject to natural and electronic inertia tests in extraordinary weather conditions.
