SunEarth THERMORAY Black TR-20
SunEarth THERMORAY Black TR-20 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The SunEarth ThermoRay Black TR-20 is a glazed liquid flat-plate solar thermal collector designed for residential and commercial solar water-heating applications. Engineered pool-heating systems require appropriate heat-exchanger separation.
It features a selective MiroSol® TS absorber coating, low-iron tempered glass, copper manifolds and risers, and a bronze-anodized aluminum frame.
Key Features
- Selective MiroSol® TS Coating: Black selective absorber coating; the master specification sheet’s materials table lists 95% absorptivity and 20% emissivity.
- Low-Iron Tempered Glass: Glazing protects the absorber while admitting solar energy.
- Copper Manifolds & Risers: 1" nominal copper headers and ⅜" nominal copper risers.
- R-12 Minimum Insulation: Polyisocyanurate and fiberglass insulation helps reduce heat loss.
- Bronze-Anodized Aluminum Frame: AA 6063-T6 aluminum construction with an integral mounting channel.
- Solar Thermal Applications: Designed for solar water heating and engineered pool-heating systems using appropriate heat-exchanger separation.
