[esp-r] Solar collector plant components

I saw that back in December 2009 Andre Keul asked about modelling evacuated tube solar collectors by putting suitable values into a flate plate collector plant component.
 
I can't find a reply to the question.
 
Is there a workaround that enables a reasonable simulation of a evacuated tube solar collector?
 
A water filled building space with double glazing with a vacuum between the panes?"- Building-side features can now be used to explicitly model systems.  
This is  achieved by allowing zones to be filled with fluids other 
than air (this affects  solar absorption) and connected to flow 
networks established to represent any  fluid type.  This enables, for 
example, the explicit modelling of water solar  collectors and 
water-cooled windows."[esp-r Digest, Vol 59, Issue 22]Christopher Heard
