A metal tube is spaced from and surrounds the evaporator section, one end of such metal tube being closed and the other end being open. A metal solar heat absorber plate is thermally conductively connected to the metal tube. An evacuated transparent glass envelope is spaced from and surrounds the metal tube and the absorber plate connected thereto, such envelope being joined to the open end of the metal tube by means of a glass-metal seal.
