the new
ASW-58A-22/30 Solar Thermal Collector
The ASW-58A-22/30 series of collectors are available in 22 and 30 tube units. Other sizes
are available upon request. Each unit comes complete. The system has been designed for
durability and ease of installation.

Q: What Separates The ASW-58A-22/30 From The Rest?

A: The ASW Thermal “SuperConductor” Heat Pipe
• Longer Service Life • Outstanding Resistance to Freeze and Temperature Strain
• Faster Starts • Excellent Thermal Characteristics, Even in Winter
• Higher Energy Yields • High Operating Temperature
• High Efficiency • All Weather Application

Heat Pipes are Individually Tested for Freeze Tolerance

Each Unit Comes Complete! ASW-58A with optional flat roof

• All Hardware
• Tubes
• Aluminum Header
• Frame Ready for Mounting
• Brazed Copper Manifold with Sweat Fittings

ASW-58A-22/30 - Product Attributes

• High Borosilicate Glass Tube: two layers, on the same axis with a
vacuum between them, the vacuum is approximately 5x102 Pa.
• Strong Undercoat: AL/N/AL selective absorbing coating material.
• High Efficiency Absorption Coating: Selective absorptive coating
is applied using vacuum magnetic-control sputtering. This provides
a coefficient of more than 92%, and an emission coefficient of
about 8%.
• Long Life: the life span is guaranteed to reach 15 years and can
be re-powered at a nominal expense.
• Durability: able to endure impact of hail up to ~1” in diameter
with high heat efficiency throughout the year
