5) Perform safe operations to prevent from injury during
.
The solar water heater must be installed in locations with wind and snow load lower
than 0.49kN/m². If the wind and snow load in the location is more than this value, please
strengthen the installation of system.
.
The best time to install the heat pipes and vacuum tubes is in the morning or in the
evening, or a time when the sunlight is weak. If there is strong sunlight, the heat pipes
will be heated quickly and the temperature will reach above 100°. That will scald the
installation workers easily. Or wrap the vacuum tubes in a piece of cloth so that they
are not exposed to direct sunlight.
.
After installing and adjusting solar water heater, connect cousins with building plate
by the inflated bolt. Fix it more than 4 steel ropes to avoid damage from strong wind.
.
Be sure there is no leakage in pipeline, joints, valves, etc.
.
The pipeline outside must be have heat protection and anti-freezing. In some very cold
areas, an emptier or restrained temperature anti-freezing cable should be added.
.
If the solar water heater is not in the protected scope of a lightning conductor fixed on
the building, the user should add the lightning conductor. The local power department
must connect the roof conductive part to the grounding wire with at least 16 mm
grounding cables. For building height (installation height) less than 20 meters, there is
no need to adopt special measures to protect from lightning strikes
.
When penetrations are required in structural elements to accompany passage of solar
components, those modified structural elements shall comply with local building codes.
.
Building materials adjacent to solar equipment shall not be exposed to elevated
temperatures, which could accelerate their deterioration. Many non-metal roofing
materials will soften in high temperature ranges and begin to degrade.
