SunBurst - Absorber Plate

The extraordinary SunBurst all copper absorber plate is the heart of each SunEarth liquid flat plate collector. Each SunBurst absorber is constructed of a thick .008 roll- formed copper sheet that is continuously soldered to a Type-M copper header and riser piping assembly utilizing a non-corrosive solder paste. The riser piping is a minimum 1/2″ O.D. Type-M copper tubing. The header piping is a minimum 7/8′ O.D., 1 1/8″ O.D. or 1 5/8″ O.D. Type-M copper tubing depending upon the collector model chosen. The riser to header bond is made with a phosphorous brazing alloy with no less than 15% silver content and conforms to the American Welding Society’s BCuP-5 classification. The SunBurst absorber plate is designed for operating pressures up to 160 psig.
