Honeycomb Solar Thermal Collector > A solar thermal collector generates hot water, which can be used for service water heating (SWH), space heating, or process heat. This product employs a ‘honeycomb’ design that promises greater heat gain on the energy-collecting surface and thus higher efficiencies than traditional flat-plate or evacuated tube collectors. Findings available in 2016.
