Şişecam Glass For Solar Thermal Collector is Şişecam Flat Glass’ low iron, patterned, tempered glass used in solar thermal collectors.
Glass For Solar Thermal Collector is an integral and important component of thermal collectors which collects heat by absorbing sunlight to produce hot water. The top layer of solar thermal collectors is made of glass, which protects the internal parts of solar energy systems from environmental effects. Also, its high heat transfer coefficient directly affects the efficiency of solar thermal collectors.
Low iron, patterned glass that come in Sandy and Prism patterns reduce heat losses and provide maximum efficiency in terms of performance of solar thermal collectors. Şişecam Flat Glass also manufactures sandy-textured patterned glass in size of 190 x 90 cm to meet the needs of patterned glass for solar thermal collectors.
Şişecam Glass For Solar Thermal Collector is produced in accordance with the standard:
EN 572-5 Glass for buildings - Basic soda lime silicate glass products - Section 5: Patterned glass.
EN 12150-1 European Norms for Thermally Toughened Soda Lime Silicate Safety Glass
Şişecam Glass For Solar Thermal Collector is produced in 3.2 mm and 4 mm thicknesses and in Prism and Sandy patterns as cover glass of thermal collectors.
Dimensions (mm) :
Tempered : 750x1500 mm; 1500x3000 mm
Edge working : 750x1500 mm; 1500x2500 mm
Raw Glass (Low Iron Patterned Glass) : 1000x2200 mm; 2400x3300 mm
The transmission levels of the glasses are measured and certificated by the company of SPF in a regular period of the time.
