As the solar energy enters the Earths atmosphere some of it is absorbed, deflected and or reflected (scattered) by
clouds, water vapour and particles in the air.
The utilizable Irradiation depends on geographical position, weather influences, shading, altitude, and smog and is
diagrammed in the global irradiation map in kWh per year.

Irradiation onto Solar Surface Area

After the right choice of inclination and orientation of the solar panels we get the irradiation onto the solar surface area.
Alpha Orientation (azimut angle)

declination from south
Beta Inclination (tilt angle)
The solar yield on the tilted collector surface is higher than the global irradiation on the horizontal collector.

Optical and thermal losses of a solar collector

The goal of each solar collector is to transfer solar
energy as much as possible.
The losses are divided into optical and thermal losses.
Thermal losses occur by the heat that the

collector loses to its environment.
The best solar yields can be achieved, if the required
Efficiency
Optical losses occur by reflection of the glass

and transmission through the glass.

Example of a simple solar system

Application:
apartment buildings, villas
Principle:
Water is circulating in a closed system between solar collector and hot water storage tank. The flow of this solar circuit
is operated by the circulating pump. The pump is only switched on, if the collector temperature is higher than the tank
temperature.

ECOTHERM
Overheat and stagnation temperature
At high sun radiation and low energy

consumption of a solar panel, the temperature of the collector increases up to
the stagnation temperature of more than
200C. During this stagnation, the heat
medium evaporates and expands to the
collector piping. This overheat may cause
damage on temperature sensible parts
and steam hammering results in heavy
loads on material. The most part of this
damage can be avoided during the design
stage if the knowledge about stagnation is
considered.
How to avoid overheating and steam:

Drain-back System:
The easiest way to avoid damage by stagnation temperatures is to drain the system automatically in case of overheat.
But the disadvantage is that the system can not be restarted before the solar panel temperature is lower than 100C.
Emergency Cooler:
With the integration of an emergency cooler in the solar circuit, the excess energy can be dissipated to the environment.
Solar Cooling:
The smartest solution to utilize excess solar energy (page 20).

Solar Cooling System
ECOTHERM
ECOTHERM Solar Cooling
Application:
The energy consumption for air conditioning is increasing. Due to the intensified use of glass facades, the rising cooling
capacities do not only touch the Middle East, but also the northern regions with moderate climate.
During summertime we have the highest solar irradiations and the highest demand of cooling energy. This is the perfect
match for Solar Cooling. We use the excess solar yields as operating power for our absorption chillers and achieve
therefore a enormous high solar system efficiency.
Absorption chiller EACM

ECOTHERM
The principle of solar cooling
Absorption chillers:
Requirements for the cooling tower:
Our absorption chiller serie EACM-C.. is

operating with heat at very low pressure.
The operating liquid is water and a lithium
bromide dilution. Water is used as cooling
medium and lithium bromide (a stable
salt with high chemical affinity to water
vapour) as absorption medium.
All energy from solar system plus the

energy for the chiller circuit have to
be dissipaded by a cooling tower. The
temperature back to the absorption chiller
should not be more than 31C.

Cooling Tower
Chiller Circuit

Requirements for the solar system:
Requirements for the chiller circuit:
The minimum temperature to run

the absorption chiller is 75C. So its
necessary to use collectors with low
thermal losses. Further its an advantage
to run the solar circuit by a speed
controlled pump.
The lowest temperature, that we can

generate with our absorption chiller is
7C. The return line from the chiller circuit
should be 12.5C. For more flexibility we
recommend the use of a chilled water
buffer tank.

Cooling tower
The cooling circuit plays a prominent role for the system efficiency. As diagrammed in the performance characteristic,
it is cosignable that a lower cooling temperature effects a higher cooling capacity. In the Middle East it is necessary to
select a atmospheric cooling tower to achieve temperatures of 30-31C. Thereby its important to consider the fresh
water demand for refeeding the cooling circuit. About 7 liter water is required to generate 1 kWh cooling energy.

Alternative solutions for the cooling circuit

To avoid the high water demand for a cooling tower, we recommend to utilize alternative cooling capacities for the
absorption chiller.
For example

ECOTHERM ESC7000 High Performance Trough Solar Collector

Advanced absorber coating technology has established the ECOTHERM brand as synonymous with modern quality
standards in the solar industry. The use of vacuum coated ultrasonically welded full-face absorbers from copper avoids
air turbulences above the absorbers surface and enables the full surface area of the collector to be utilized. Solar energy
is extracted with best possible utilisation of the area available.
Model ESC7000
Backside of Collectors
Conventional Fin Design:

Air turbulences give rise to heat losses.
ECOTHERM Technology
Closed surface avoids heat losses.
ESC7000 Collector:
The ESC7000 is characterised by high efficiency, high
quality standards and in particular by unmatched
ease of installation.
The low-profile, light-weight ESC7000 high-performance
collectors can be interlinked very easily by means of
flat flush one inch screw couplings. Use of flange plates
ensure appropriate venting with mainte nance of
the microclimate inside the collector.

ECOTHERM - The Advanced Absorber Technology Label

The name ECOTHERM stands for a special, unrivalled
technology for the manufacture of large-area absorbers.
Ultrasonically welded full-face copper absorbers with lengths
of up to five meters can be produced that make optimal
use of the area available. The collecting tubes are fully
covered to suppress air turbulences inside the collector
which otherwise would give rise to the loss of heat at the
solar glass cover.

The ESC7000 Trough Collector With ECOTHERM Technology

The collectors of this series are drysealed without silicone. The solar glass cover is sealed by means of an uncemented
rubber frame. The full-face absorber is bedded in an aluminium trough on a layer of rockwool insulation with a thickness
of 50 mm. A special modular mounting system was developed for the series which makes it possible to realise standalone,
roof-integrated and roofmounted solutions with equal ease.
Flow and interlinkage options of ESC7000 collector
The new packing disc system minimises the loss of pressure

and gives way to a multitude of grouping options.
The customer can choose the number of connections and

the configuration that optimally meet the requirements of
the given application.

ECOTHERM ESC-3000 Product benefits

Up
to 10 collectors can be connected in parallel or

in series with each other with minimum pressure
loss (Low Flow/Tichelmann)

Optimal stagnation and draining behaviour thanks
to the serpentine absorber designed for large systems

Aluminium frame collector with a high degree of
long-term stability satisfies all static requirements as
per DIN 1055

Time-saving collector installation thanks to optimi-
zed support triangles with support rails as well as
simple collector connections

Excellent value for money thanks to aluminium ab-
sorber with highly selective coating as well as mini-
mum crane use and installation time to set up the
system

Easy to service since glass covers and modules
can be individually replaced
