LIGHT AND EFFICIENT
CPC 6 Lite Evacuated Tube Collector Available with Stainless Steel or Copper U-Tubes/Manifold
The CPC 6 Lite brings you an evacuated tube
panel with outstanding design, professional processing and high energy yield.
Also, due to the CPC 6 Lite's low weight and easy to handle size it can easily
be manoeuvred into position by one man

The CPC stainless steel evacuated tube collector is a specialist system developed especially for solar water heating and for solar backup heating. The low pressure loss allows several modules to be connected in series. Aperture area measurements of 1.0 sq meters allows for accurate adjustment to water and/or space heating requirements. Careful attention has also been made to details that are important to mounting the system, where maximum
movement of the rails to the anchor point means that even the least accurate installer can get the rails into a straight line
The One-Man Installation Kit

CPC S6 Collector Features
- Pre-assembled tube collector
- Twin walled evacuated tubes based on the thermos flask principle
- Manifold for direct flow conduction through risers
- Stainless steel manifold and "U" tube risers prevents any internal oxidation regardless of fluid temperature
- CPC reflector improves the tube efficiency by 40%
- Collectors are supplied with factory fitted sun cover that is removed after the installer has flooded the system
- Suitable for on roof installation, flat roof installation or vertical wall installation

Extra Cooling Vessel
We recommend the use of an Extra Cooling Vessel when installing any evacuated tube collectors, if the length of pipe between the solar panels and the expansion vessel is less than 10 meters then it is essential that an Extra Cooling Vessel is fitted.
 |
If the collectors begin to stagnate and fluid starts to boil, then it will force it's way back down the return pipe in the form of steam. If the steam makes it back as far as the expansion vessel then it will quickley destroy the diaphram in the expansion vessel. Fitting a 5L Extra Cooling Vessel adds an extra 5L of fluid that needs to turn to steam before it gets to the expansion vessel.

CPC 6 Avaialable with Either Stainless Steel or Copper U-Tubes and Manifold
The CPC 6 is available with either stainless steel or copper U-tubes and
manifold. Stainless steel offers a long lasting system that is not susceptible
to internal oxidation and corrosion as a result of high heat transfer fluid
temperatures. The copper version offers a superbly performing CPC collector at
a budget price
