Info&Contacts

is a company specialized in aluminium products, starting from its early days as a supplier of reflector components for local Italian companies to its present position as a supplier to all the world’s major lighting system producers. This specialisation has led the Group to become one of the world's biggest producers of components for the lighting technology, solar energy industries and decorative market.

Solar Absorber

Absorbers “capture” solar energy.
They are the part of the collector that converts sunlight into heat. The heat can then either be used to heat a building or heat water.

Two factors are decisive for the absorber's efficiency: the ability to absorb as much solar energy as possible; and the lowest possible heat losses from heat transmission.

Black coatings were once used very often to absorb solar energy, but they unfortunately also lose around 50 percent of the incident energy through heat transmission.
As a result, only 50 percent of the heat energy could be used.

ALMECO-TiNOX's highly selective absorbers fulfill both of these requirements perfectly.
Here, the coating is designed to prevent heat from being transmitted off the absorber's surface, so that more than 90 percent of the incident solar energy can be used as heat.

They are therefore the best choice for all manufacturers of flat-plate and evacuated tube collectors who want to offer their customers extremely high-performance, reliable products.

The inventor of the blue, highly selective absorber layers, TiNOX has more than a decade of experience in the production of these highly selective products.
