Solar Water Heater System: ETC Based
Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETC) based Solar Water Heaters
Evacuated Tube Collector is made of double layer borosilicate glass tubes evacuated for providing insulation. Totally there are 15 evacuated glass tubes in a 125 LPD solar heater. The outer wall of the inner tube is coated with selective absorbing material which helps absorption of solar radiation and transfers the heat to the water which flows through the inner tube.
