Ray Absorber Plates are a major part of our business
and are the most important component of a solar collector
for use in solar heating systems.
Absorbers are available to solar professionals and consumers
for new applications or as a replacement for solar collectors
that have suffered from loss in efficiency, freeze damage,
clog, leakage or just as a replacement for an older model.
The absorbers are also offered for glazed (glass covered) or
unglazed solar pool heating systems as an alternative choice
to a plastic pool heating panel. (See
a better choice)
Some tips and benefits for a replacement absorber
plate
With a replacement plate you end up with a solar collector
that is as good as new for the fraction of the cost of a new
collector.
Sun Ray Absorbers are made to size to
fit any collector box. (See absorber measurements order
form)
Sun Ray Absorbers can be replaced right
on the roof without disturbing the solar collector's current
mountings. (See
absorber installation)
Sun Ray Absorbers are lightweight and
therefore easily lifted on to the roof.
Your damaged absorbers have a decent salvage value at your nearest recycling center. |

Sun Ray Absorbers are made of a plurality of our unique roll formed fin-tubes; a design that makes our
absorber plates unique. (See
fin-tubes)
Sun Ray Absorbers are available in all copper
(copper absorbing fins with copper flow tubing) or copper aluminum
(aluminum absorbing fins with copper flow tubing).
The 4 ¼" wide fin-tubes are brazed to ¾", 1", 1 ¼" or 1 ½" copper
headers.
The copper aluminum absorber's material is coated by professional
metal finishers. The metal is etched, washed, base coated chrome,
painted with durable-modified black solar absorbing polyester
and oven baked for efficiency, durability and a superior look.
The absorber plates weight is 1 lb. per sq./ft. for an all
copper plate or .60 lb. per sq./ft for copper aluminum plates.
 The
absorbers are able to withstand a stagnation temperature of
300°
F. and each absorber is pressure tested at 160 P.S.I.
Normal working pressure is up to 80 P.S.I.
Recommended flow rate for water heating systems: 0.05 +/- 0.01
GPM/SQ/FT. Sample flow rate (3' x 8'absorber = 1.0 GPM) (4'x
10'absorber = 2.0 GPM)
Recommended flow rate for pool heating panels: 0.07 +/- 0.01
GPM/SQ/FT. Sample flow rate (10- 4'x 10' pool panels = 28.0
GPM)
Sun Ray is ready to provide you with absorber plates or pool
panels made to your specific measurements.
