Abstract

The present invention relates to a manifolder of a single vacuum tube heat collector. According to a specific example of the present invention, the manifolder of a single vacuum tube heat collector comprises: a heat collector; a manifolder; and an end cap. As such, the present invention is able to simplify a manufacturing process by incorporating a heat collecting medium supply tube for supplying a heat collecting medium supplied from the outside to the inside of the manifolder, and removing an existing connecting portion between heat collecting devices. Since the number of the heat collectors inserted perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the manifolder is increased due to the removal of a connecting member, heat efficiency can be maximized for the same installation space of a prior art. Since an expansion joint is separately installed at a predetermined position of a heat collecting medium discharge pipe, the length of the manifolder can be adjusted to maximize utilization of the installation space of the heat collector, and an aesthetic appearance deteriorated due to the heat collecting medium supply tube exposed to the outside can be improved.
