  • Page 6: Product Description

    Product description Solar collector FKF The solar thermal collector FKF uses the radiant energy of the sun to heat a heat transfer medium. This glycol-water mixture gives off the heat to a storage via a heat exchanger. The obtained energy can be used for water heating and heating support.
  • Page 7 Product description Specifications The FKF collector has an absorber with meander shaped tubes as well as integrated manifolds. The hydraulic system enables a connection of 15 collectors in one series and up to six collectors on one side. In one collector field, up to 45 collectors can be connected in three rows.
