vacuum technology, this kind of collector can reach high performances even
in colder seasons.

HEAT PIPE TECHNOLOGY

The pipe heats up with the heat coming from the absorber and vaporizes the small quan ty of fluid that naturally raises to the top, then it condenses and tran-
sfers heat to the heat-transfer fluid of the primary circuit and comes back to liquid state.
Heat pipes are placed inside the double concentric tubes made in borosilicate glass (Sydney type). Thanks to its insula ng proper es (thermos effect), the vacuum
between the glass pipes dras cally reduces the heat loss, increasing the available energy captured from the sun.

COMPOUND PARABOLIC CONCENTRATOR (CPC)

A special CPC behind the tubes leads the sunlight, even from different angles, exactly to the absorber. This system allows Cordivari vacuum tube collectors CVT
to reach high performances with small dimensions and maximum energy absorp on, direct or indirect.
