Description

The OKU solar collector type 1002 is a key component of the modular OKU solar collector system. This system provides an efficient, sustainable, and affordable way to heat your pool water using solar energy. The type 1002 solar collector functions as an intermediate or end panel and is specifically designed for horizontal rows of solar collectors. In combination with type 1000 (corner piece) and type 1001 (middle panel for multiple rows), the system can be expanded to the desired size, making it suitable for both private and commercial pools.

The OKU solar collector type 1002 is designed to provide maximum heat transfer to the pool water. The water flows directly through the collector, where it is heated by the sun. The solar collector is made of sturdy polyethylene (PE) and is not only resistant to extreme temperatures but also frost-proof and walkable. This ensures a long service life and minimal maintenance costs.

The collector is easy to install in various locations, such as on a roof, on a rack next to the pool, or against a vertical wall. For optimal efficiency, it is recommended to combine the solar collectors with a good pool cover so that the generated heat is retained in the pool.

Conclusion

The OKU solar collector type 1002 is an efficient and durable solution for heating your pool using solar energy. The panel is specially designed for horizontal installations and delivers high performance with an efficiency of up to 85%. Thanks to the sturdy, weather- and frost-resistant construction, the system is long-lasting, while the installation is simple and scalable to the size of your pool. This makes the OKU solar collector type 1002 an excellent choice for both private and commercial pools looking for an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to heat their pool water.

Pros and cons

• Efficient energy use: The use of solar energy makes heating your swimming pool an environmentally friendly
• inexpensive solution, with a potential output of up to 85% efficiency.
• Expandable system: The OKU solar collector system is easy to expand, making it suitable for both small private pools
• large commercial swimming pools.
• Frost
• weather resistant: The solar collector is resistant to extreme temperatures (between -50°C
• +115°C)
• can be used in all weather conditions without any issues. Furthermore, the collector is sturdy enough to walk on.
• Long service life: The durable polyethylene material
• robust construction ensure that the solar collector will last for many years without any loss of performance.
• Easy installation: Thanks to the integrated collector pipe
• standard connections, the system is easy to mount, whether on roofs, scaffolds next to the pool, or against a wall.
• Space required: For optimal heating capacity, you need multiple solar collectors, which can take up quite a bit of space depending on the size of your pool.
• Manual bypass required for regulation: Although the collector works well in combination with a filter system, the flow must be regulated manually using a bypass. An additional solar system is required for automatic control.
• Additional installation supplies: Although the solar collectors are relatively easy to install, you will need extra connecting hoses
• accessories to complete the installation, such as PVC piping
• glue (not included).
