Solar collector component: Heat-pipe system vacuum pipe dust protection seal for the vacuum pipe collector

Sealing

The outer diameter of the included vacuum tube: 58 mm
You can insert a heat pipe copper insert, whose head diameter is 14 mm

Placement of the dust protection rubber seal:

1. Clean the mating surfaces of the frame and vacuum tubes to ensure a perfectly dust-free and dirt-free connection.
2. Insert the dust seal into the frame hole so that it fits evenly and tightly.
3. Cover the bottom of the vacuum tube with a thin layer of silicone gel or other suitable sealant, then carefully insert the bottom end of the vacuum tube into the rubber seal.
4. Push the vacuum tube down so that the rubber seal fits well between the vacuum tube and the frame.
5. Make sure the upper part of the vacuum tube also fits properly with the seal in the frame and fine-tune the position as necessary.
6. Check the vacuum tube and dust protection rubber seal to ensure perfect sealing and protection against dirt.

It is important that you check and maintain the dust protection rubber seal regularly, as its effectiveness depends on its good condition. If you notice any damage or wear, replace it in time to maintain the efficiency and lifespan of the solar panel.

Vacuum tube solar collector component

Vacuum pipe dust protection seal for the connection of the vacuum pipe and the collector head (manifold), also for pressure-resistant tank collectors.

One ​​of the important components of vacuum tube solar collectors is the dust protection rubber seal, which is located between the vacuum tubes and the frame. The function of the dust protection rubber seal is to prevent dust, dirt and moisture from entering between the vacuum tubes and connecting elements.

Correct placement of the dust protection rubber seal between the individual elements of the vacuum tube solar collector:

Vacuum tubes: They are the main part of the solar collector, energy absorption takes place in them. Vacuum tubes consist of several layers, and in the middle is the heat pipe, which transmits the absorbed heat. The vacuum tubes are made of solid glass or fiberglass material around the outside and inside, and both ends are sealed.

Dust protection rubber seal: This is a special rubber ring that is located between the end cap at the bottom of one of the vacuum tubes and the frame that holds the tube. The rubber seal must be flexible, resistant and dust-free to effectively protect the vacuum tube from dirt and environmental influences.

Frame: The frame is the basic supporting element of the solar collector. A frame made of aluminum or other resistant material holds the vacuum tubes and connecting elements together. The dust protection rubber seal fits into the openings in the frame.
