1. Length and width do not include the inlet and outlet which protrude from either the rear or ends of the manifold.
2. Absorber area calculated as: D x L x N where:
.....D = diameter of the absorber tube, in this case 0.047m
.....L = exposed length of tube: For 1.8m tubes this is 1.72m
.....N = number of tubes (4, 10, 20, 22, 30)
.....Eg. 0.047 x 1.72 x 20 = 1.6m2 absorber area (1m
2 = 10.76ft2)
3. Calculated simply as overall length (including frame) x overall width.
4.

AP Models are named as follows:
AP(Manifold Casing Colour)(Port Location) - (Tube Number)
Manifold Casing Material: K = Black, S = Silver
Port Location: R = Rear, E = End
Tube Number: 4, 10, 20, 22, 30
Eg. APKR-20 = black rear port 20 tube manifold.

Note: Depending on region certain colour/port options may not be available.
