It is made by two concentric
transparent
borosilicate glass tubes (Pyrex) able to resist impact from hail
up to 25mm in diameter. The inner glass tube is coated with a
selective coating of Al-N/Al, which absorbs and converts the
maximum of solar radiation & infrared light into heat and
reduces emissivity. A barium getter is used at bottom of the
inner Vacuum tube. This barium layer actively absorbs all CO,
CO2, N2, O2, and H2O. The "tube" is one continuous piece with no
metal embedded which makes the vacuum tube have longer service
lifetime.

The Triple Vacuum Tube absorb the
full visible and infrared light radiation wavelengths from 0.3
to 1u. .3
First
deposition is a copper metal layer, M-AL-N / CU which
has low emission ratio and high thermal transmission through
inner glass wall to the refrigerant heat pipe. Effective work
range of 572 to 662 deg F
Second
deposition is layer of AL2 O3 film to prevent cross
migration. This entrainment allows the copper molecular layer to
be very stable at temperatures in excess of 750 deg F.
Third
deposition is a cermets aluminum nitride AL-N/M-AL-N
sputtered simultaneously in gas mixture of argon and nitrogen to
produce which absorbs solar radiation at very low emissivity, a
= 95% ; e = 5%. |
