1 NOW AVAILABLE! the new ASW-58A-22/30 Solar Thermal Collector The ASW-58A-22/30 series of collectors are available in 22 and 30 tube units. Other sizes are available upon request. Each unit comes complete. The system has been designed for durability and ease of installation. Q: What Separates The ASW-58A-22/30 From The Rest? A: The ASW Thermal SuperConductor Heat Pipe Longer Service Life Faster Starts Higher Energy Yields High Efficiency Outstanding Resistance to Freeze and Temperature Strain Excellent Thermal Characteristics, Even in Winter High Operating Temperature All Weather Application Heat Pipes are Individually Tested for Freeze Tolerance Each Unit Comes Complete! All Hardware Tubes Aluminum Header Frame Ready for Mounting Brazed Copper Manifold with Sweat Fittings ASW-58A with optional flat roof ASW-58A-22/30 - Product Attributes High Borosilicate Glass Tube: two layers, on the same axis with a vacuum between them, the vacuum is approximately 5x10 2 Pa. Strong Undercoat: AL/N/AL selective absorbing coating material. High Efficiency Absorption Coating: Selective absorptive coating is applied using vacuum magnetic-control sputtering. This provides a coefficient of more than 92%, and an emission coefficient of about 8%. Long Life: the life span is guaranteed to reach 15 years and can be re-powered at a nominal expense. Durability: able to endure impact of hail up to ~1 in diameter with high heat efficiency throughout the year Mailing Address: 295 Princeton Hightstown Road, Unit 251 West Windsor, NJ Phone: Web: Copyright American Solar Works Holdings 2009

2 ASW-58A-22/30 Collectors Performance and Specifications This efficiency data Is based on the ten (10) tube collector, and can be extrapolated to the balance of the ASW-58A Series. American Solar Works stocks 22 and 30 tube units, with other configurations available as custom built units. Copyright American Solar Works Holdings 2009
