Solar Flat Plate CollectorauroTHERM classic VFK 135/3

Solar flat plate collector for solar drainback systems.

auroTHERM classic VFK 135/3
  • Drainback technology for enhanced performance and durability
  • Selective absorber and anti-reflective glass for strong solar gains
  • Vertical or horizontal mounting for a wide range of applications
  • Suitable for single-family and multi-family buildings
auroTHERM classic solar flat‑plate collectors are built for drainback systems. When there is no sunlight or once the hot water has reached the set temperature, the solar fluid drains naturally from the collectors. The result: no risk of freezing, stagnation, or overpressure – so the system lasts longer. At the same time, auroTHERM collectors capture and hold the sun’s free heat efficiently and transfer it to your hot water. You can install them horizontally or vertically, on the roof or integrated into the roof, depending on your home and preference.
