TiNOX energy - Solar Absorber
The TiNOX energy multilayer coating is made with the PVD process and can be applied on several metal surfaces. It combines excellent optical characteristics with the excellent thermal conductivity of copper and is therefore suitable for evacuated tube collectors and other applications that require the highest energy efficiency.
This allows solar panel manufacturers to ensure the highest quality and greatest yield to those who install them. The structure of TiNOX energy absorbers has been developed to optimise its function at temperatures close to those in which the solar collectors operate (approx. 100°C). For this, the special PVD multilayer is able to absorb most of the incident solar energy on the panel (propagated with wavelengths less than 2.5 micron) and to minimise the heat lost from the same material under the form of radiation (wavelengths longer than 2.5 micron). The characteristic to adapt its behavior according to the different wavelengths, or rather the selectivity, allows TiNOX energy products to "capture" up to 50% more energy than non-selective products.
The TiNOX absorbers have obtained a certificate of approval from:
- Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Freiburg (ISE)
- Institute of Technology Solar Rapperswill College (SPF)
- Institut fuer Thermodynamik und Wärmetechnik (ITW).
