| 1. |
Length
and width do not include the inlet and outlet which
protrude from either the rear or ends of the manifold. |
| 2. |
Absorber
area calculated as: D x L x N where:
.....D = diameter of
the absorber tube, in this case 0.047m
.....L = exposed length
of tube: For 1.8m tubes this is 1.72m
.....N = number of tubes
(4, 10, 20, 22, 30)
.....Eg. 0.047 x 1.72 x
20 = 1.6m2 absorber area (1m2 = 10.76ft2) |
| 3. |
Calculated
simply as overall length (including frame) x overall
width. |
| 4. |
AP Models are named as follows:
AP(Manifold Casing Colour)(Port Location) - (Tube
Number)
Manifold Casing Material: K = Black,
S = Silver
Port Location: R = Rear, E = End
Tube Number: 4, 10, 20, 22, 30
Eg. APKR-20 = black rear port 20 tube manifold.
Note: Depending on region certain colour/port options
may not be available. |
