*1 Important for system design considerations.
*2 Dimensions rounded to the nearest ¼ inch.
*3 In sealed systems, operating pressure of at least 44 psig + 0.45 psig x static head (ft.)
(3.0 bar + 0.1 bar x static head (m) must be present in the collectors in cold condition.
*4 The stagnation temperature is the temperature which applies to the hottest point of the collector at a global
radiation intensity of3412 Btu/h / 1000 W when no heat is conducted by the heat transfer medium.
