10. stly it is important to understand the basic operation of the heat pipe solar collector Each of the heat pipes works independently to collect and deliver heat to the exchanger in the manifold The role of the glass vacuum tube is to collect the sun energy and protect this heat from loss back to the atmosphere This is done via the special coatings and vacuum in the tube Heat 1s then transferred to the heat pipe via an aluminium fin inside the tube The role of the heat pipe is to transport the heat to the exchanger in the manifold The condenser large end of the heat pipe inserts though the heat exchanger but does not actually come into contact with the passing heat transfer fluid The heat passes from the heat pipe to the copper material of the exchanger and then into the passing fluid This is an important point to understand should you need to change a tube and heat pipe in the future Tubes and heat pipes can be changed without draining the system Assembly To assemble the collector frame simply connect the vertical frame sections to the manifold This is best achieved by laying the manifold face down on a soft surface Blanket Remove the nuts from the studs protruding from the rear of the of the manifold place over the vertical aluminium frame sections and Secure the nuts hand tight at the moment Next fit the tail stock whilst the frame is upside down using the M8 nuts amp bolts provided On the Sp10 and Sp15 there a
