FMZ Devices carries the revolutionary Evacuated Tube Collector (ETC) – Solar Water Heater (SWH).  The ETC is a type of Solar Water Heater System that is used to heat water by collecting energy from the Sun.  The system consists of a series of  borosilicate glass tubes sealed under vacuum for reducing heat loss, inherent in flat plates, to virtually zero.  Heat loss is due to convection which cannot cross a vacuum, and thus the vacuum creates an efficient isolation mechanism to keep heat inside the collector to heat the water.  The ETC absorbs solar radiation in the most efficient way available to heat water faster, and effectively even during cloudy days and colder regions.  This type of Solar Collector is by far the superior choice in sustainable energy collection for hot water production.

For millennia we have studied how the sun influences earth’s most powerful thunderstorm systems, destructive tornadoes, atmospheric behaviors, and ecosystems around the globe, and at the same time be the provider of essential energy needs for life support, including basic energy uses down to the most simple applications as to drying clothes.  The Sun is playing a larger role nowadays in our societies by the technological advancements that have been made in the development of solutions to effectively harness this unstoppable and relentless power which is sure to upswing a new way of life.  It is thanks to this never ending source and versatile power that we can look ahead and begin turning the curve thinking for uninterrupted living well before our energy sources are shrouded in price inaccessibility, shortages, and ultimately depletion.

The Evacuated Tube System is growing exponentially and is projected to surpass the flat plate system in the next 3 to 5 year worldwide.  Currently, China, India, and the European Union, including Africa, Central and South America are rapidly adopting the ETC-SWH System over any other system out there, this due to the ETC’s efficiency and versatility.  The Evacuated Tube System is being expanded into countless application around the home and industrial applications.

Development of technologies such as these are the enablers of improvements in technological breakthroughs supporting efforts to hardness the power of our Sun, the Sun is, and has always been, ready to meet our energy needs.
