* Length and width do not include the inlet and outlet which protrude from either the rear or ends of the manifold.
** 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 = 1.6m 2 absorber area (1m 2 = 10.76ft 2 )
*** Calculated simply as overall length (including frame) x overall width.
