Chromagen Features & Benefits

Absorber Plate

Copper fins ultrasonically welded to copper risers provide excellent heat transfer between the fins and risers. Coated with black chrome on nikel and producing a superior selective surface for solar energy use.

Tubing Grid

3/8 " copper risers brazed to 1" copper mainfolds with an optimal flow distribution.

Piping Grid

Four 1 " Type M copper tubes.

Aluminum Foil

Attached to the insulation, acts as a barrier against out-gasing.

Solar Glass Glazing

A single pane of 1/8" thick solar glass is patterned to reduce reflection and tempered to maximize strength and durability. *Iron oxide content 0.03%

Back Plate

Made of Black Polypropylene sheet.

Insulation

1-3/16" polyurethane foam cast under and around the side of the absorber plate, retains the heat of the water in the collector. DFC-free P.U. meets U.S. and European standards. A 3/4" layer of mineral wool protects the polyurethane and provides additional collector insulation.

Casing

All aluminum extrusion casings create a sleek framewall with no visible rivets or screws. A unique extruded profile bolts on and anchors to the roof (shingled, tile, tar) or collector stand.

Gaskets

1-3/16" polyurethane foam cast under and around the side of the absorber plate, retains the heat of the water in the collector. DFC-free P.U. meets U.S. and European standards. A 3/4" layer of mineral wool protects the polyurethane and provides additional collector insulation.
