The copper insert of vacuum tube solar collectors is one of the key elements of the vacuum tube solar collector. The arrangement of these solar collectors is such that several glass tubes are placed inside each other and a vacuum is created between them. The inner wall of the glass tubes is layered, and the inner layer contains the copper insert.

The copper insert has two main functions in vacuum tube solar collectors:< /span>

Absorption of solar radiation: The copper insert is an excellent heat conductor and has good absorption properties for solar radiation. When the sun's rays enter the glass walls of the vacuum tubes, the copper insert absorbs them and heats them up. Due to its absorption properties, it can efficiently absorb the energy of solar radiation, even if the sun does not shine completely perpendicular to the solar collectors.

Heat transfer: After the copper insert heats up due to solar radiation, this heat transfers energy to the heat carrier liquid or gas in the vacuum tube. This process allows the heated heat carrier to flow upwards in the vacuum tube, where it transfers heat energy to the heat exchanger located at the top of the collector. Through the heat exchanger, the thermal energy is transferred to a refrigerant, which transfers it through the system, where the hot water or the heating system is charged with thermal energy.

The copper insert of vacuum tube solar collectors is therefore crucial in the energy production process. Due to its excellent heat-conducting properties, copper efficiently absorbs and transmits the heat energy of solar radiation, which greatly contributes to the efficient utilization of solar energy. These solar collectors are usually very efficient and suitable for producing hot water, supporting heating systems or performing other tasks that require thermal energy.
