Heliocol Unique Features

Over-Molding Injection Technology
"One-of-a-kind" injection process that connects the riser tubes to the manifold header to create a panel which is literally a single piece of plastic.

Cylindric Shape
All parts are rounded, with no sharp angles, in order to avoid stress concentration or the risk of bursting at high pressure.

Fins
Provide added strength to the unit while preventing differential thermal expansion and distortion of the system.

Individual Tube Design

Minimizes wind effects on the panel and creates extreme mechanical stability.

Specially Formulated Material

Tested in authorized labs, and proven to be stabilized against the effects of sustained UV radiation, extreme weather conditions and aging.

Collector Efficiency Graph & Equations

(Tested by F.S.E.C. according to ASHRAE standard 96-1989) Black = 0.828 - 18.52 (Ti-Ta) / I Terracotta = 0.727 - 15.59 (Ti-Ta) / I = 0.727 - 2.75 (Ti-Ta) / I

Alligator Clamp Spacer Bars

Prevent distortion of the panel over time, and the abrasion of the riser tubes due to the thermal expansion of the panel. Firmly mounts the panel to any roof type with minimum roof penetration.

Units of (Ti-Ta) / I are [m2 C/Watt] = 0.828 - 3.26 (Ti-Ta) / I Units of (Ti-Ta) / I are [hr / ft2 F/BTU]

How Does the Solar Collector Work?

1. By means of the existing pool pump, pool water is directed via a controlled motorized valve to the solar collectors. 2. Pool water enters the solar collectors at the bottom and rises to the top through the individual tubes of the collector. 3. The solar energy heats the water as it flows through the collectors. 4. The heated water then returns to the pool, and the cycle is repeated until the pool has been sufficiently warmed by the sun. 5. The solar heating process is fully automatic, using temperature sensors and a differential controller.
