AURON DF – perfect for water heating AURON DF vacuum tube collectors are optimally suitable for solar hot water preparation and heating support. Heat lost is mainly prevented by vaccuum insulation, which also protects the absorber coating. As such, the highly efficient vacuum tubes are able to use a large portion of the irradi-ated energy even in the winter. The selective coating of the aluminium absorber has very good absorption properties, and at less than 5 %, the radiation losses are very low.

This was not just because of their efficiency, but also because ELCO provides the best technical support in the pre-installation phase. Given the limited space available for the collector field, collectors were needed that could offer considerable output in a small area. AURON DF met this need. Another reason to go with ELCO lay in the simple, time-saving assembly and particularly the flexible assembly system. The total of 64 installed AURON DF vacuum tube collectors now manage the entire hot water supply of the Tasman Toren building and are convincing given their economic energy per- formance and environmentally friendly, low CO2 emissions. And they don’t negatively impact the design of the unique building, as they are out of view for passers-by. All in all a solution that has met all of the planners’ requirements. Solar energy gives luxury apartments hot water Tasman Toren is, as the name suggests, modelled after a massive gate. This makes its design entirely unique and very impressive. The luxury residence building has more than 221 apartments overall and stands tall at 75 m. The head engineer for the project was tasked with supplying the building with renewable energy and saving a consid- erable amount of energy compared to standard solutions. Thanks to ELCO solar technology, all of the requirements were met.
