PASSIVE SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM The value leader in solar thermal technology! Proudly made in the USA! Your authorized representative is: IN PROGRESSIV TUBE system qualifies for all Federal, State and Local financial incentives! OUT The PROGRESSIVTUBE passive solar water heater is a self-contained, single unit system that integrates the solar collector and storage tank. most applications, it functions as a pre-heater to an instantaneous or conventional water heater. The PROGRESSIVTUBE requires only local water pressure and solar radiation to operate. No pumps, controls, mechanical or electrical components are required. Once installed, the system will work automatically. When hot water is used, solar preheated water is drawn into the conventional water heater, reducing electrical or gas usage for water heating. The PROGRESSIV TUBE is among the most efficient solar systems rated by national testing and certification agencies. All PROGRESSIV TUBE systems meet or exceed all applicable national plumbing and building codes. Our systems are virtually maintenance free and feature a twenty-five year design life. Whether your purchase decisions depends on simple pay back, return on investment or life cycle analysis, PROGRESSIVTUBE can exceed your expectations. The all copper collector/storage tank absorbs solar radiation through its selective surface coating by raising the temperature of the water stored in the collector. It is well insulated with closed cell foam and double-glazed for increased heat retention. The diameter copper tubes are welded into a series flow pattern so that the top of the lower tube feeds the bottom of the next tube. This allows the collector to contain the colder replacement water in the lower tubes where it is heated by the sun as it flows from one tube to the next. Each time hot water is used, the innovative design eliminates the cooling down of the remaining heated water that normally occurs in other types of solar water heating systems. Not only does this design ensure the delivery of the hottest water, but it also provides more hot water at a higher temperature and with a faster recovery time than solar systems of similar capacity.
SPECIFICATIONS FLUID CONNECTION: let and connections are made of nominal ¾ diameter Type L hard copper pipes. This allows for fast, leak free sweat fitting plumbing connections. GLAZING GASKETS: A continuous gasket made of special long life EPDM synthetic rubber is compressed by the glazing caps to seal out the weather. The inner glazing spline is made of high-temperature tolerant EPDM. GLAZING: er glazing is tempered low-iron solar glass with % transmittance. ner glazing is Teflon film, known for its high temperature tolerance (525 F) and its long term durability and stability, transmittance %. The ¾ air space between glazings reduces heat loss. CASE: The baked-on bronze acrylic finish of the hard temper, T, extruded aluminum framewall and glazing caps, alloy 0, assures years of attractive rust-free appearance. All rivets and bolts are aluminum or stainless steel. Aluminum back sheet.025. INSULATION: Rigid closed cell polyisocyanurate foam board, the most efficient insulation available, is used to maximize heat retention. Sides and ends of the unit have.5 board, R- valve 0; bottom has 2 board, R-valve between tank tubes has.5 board, R-valve 0. ABSORBER/STORAGE TANK: Constructed entirely of copper, the diameter tubes are welded to the interconnecting pipes to form a series flow pattern. The tank is pressured rated to 00 psi and is coated with a high-temperature selective solar radiation absorption surface that maximizes heat gain and reduces heat loss. PROGRESSIVTUBE SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE RATINGS The PROGRESSIVTUBE and its mounting systems have successfully passed static wind load testing to 0 m.p.h.
