Solar Absorber

Solar thermal collectors use the power of the sun to provide heat for space heating and hot water -- for free, reliably, and without an environmental impact.
The heart of flat-plate and evacuated-tube collectors is the absorber.
It takes up the energy in sunlight and converts it into heat. The more efficient the absorber, the greater the collector's output.

Absorber

With its highly selective blue TiNOX energy absorbers, Almeco-TiNOX sets industry standards.
These products absorb 95% of incident sunlight.
At the same time, they only lose some 4% of heat radiation, so that around 90% of the solar energy can be used as heat.

In this way, manufacturers of flat-plate and evacuated-tube collectors can ensure the greatest quality and maximum yield for their customers. Almeco-TiNOX applies its highly selective absorber layers both to aluminum and copper substrates in a high-tech coating process.
Collector manufacturers are then able to offer a wide range of high-quality products with TiNOX energy.
No other company in the world has as much experience in the production of highly selective absorbers; after all, TiNOX invented this technology in the mid-1990s and has continued to further develop it since.

All TiNOX energy products are made in Germany on modern production lines in Munich and Bernburg (Saxony-Anhalt). Almeco-TiNOX offers a 10-year guarantee for its TiNOX energy products. A number of renowned testing institutes have confirmed the high quality of TiNOX energy absorber's with their findings.
One part of these inspections was the "task X" test, which simulates the effect of years of temperature fluctuations and exposure to the environment on the absorber's selected layers.
Absorbers that pass this test will still provide 95% of their original output even after 25 years.

TiNOX energy has the Task X certificate from the following institutes:
  • Institute of Thermodynamics and Heat Technology, Stuttgart (ITW)
  • Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Freiburg (ISE)
  • Institute of Solar Technology, Rapperswill College (SPF)
  • Swedish National Testing and Research Institute
Almeco-TiNOX also has DIN EN 9001:2000 certification.
This certificate confirms the high quality assurance at Almeco-TiNOX.
