U pipe Direct Flow Double Manifold System Direct Flow is a very simple system that works in a similar fashion to a conventional flat plate collector but with the benefit of vacuum insulation. The pUre U-Pipe collectors have the same copper tube as a traditional heat pipe collector, but it instead bends around on itself at the bottom of the glass tube and returns directly into the double manifold. This enables the water/glycol to travel through the tube for direct gain from solar radiation. As this water-glycol is heated, it is pumped around the collector tubes and eventually passes through the secondary coil in the hot water storage cylinder. The pUre Collectors require fewer tubes up on the roof than a heat pipe system to reach the same peak efficiency levels. • pUre series has a staggering 758 kWh/m²* output • Can be installed vertically, horizontally & on flat walls- allowing flexibility of system design and installation. • U pipe collectors have a smaller footprint than Heat Pipe & Flat plate systems - Less visually intrusive • No parabolic mirror - No efficiency decrease during service lifetime. • Direct flow U pipe technology -More rapid heat transfer • Suitable for mains pressure water • Pre-assembled in 6 and 16 tube arrays - no roof assembly required • Ideal for flat roof and Inclined up to 90° • Black anodised aluminium casing and frame- sleek single colour design • Operates up to 6 Bar - tested to 9 Bar • Dry tubes - Quick & easy replacement in situ without draining system • Tested to withstand 25mm hailstones @ 23m/s • Outperform flat plates - Autumn , Winter & Spring • Operates at temperatures of -40°C • ¾" male copper manifold fitting – “plug and perform” design provides fast and simple installation. • Individually serial numbered for commissioning and warranty • Screw end caps for easy tube replacement • MCS Approved & European Solar Keymarked • Unrivalled 15 Year Warranty on Tubes – Peace of mind
