| 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 (1m2 = 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: B = Dark Brown, 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. |
