When the tank gets too hot as some irrationality actions, please drain down some hot
water and then charge the mains water to cool down the system slowly.
All exposed areas need to be well insulated to resist freezing. The well insulated tank
keeps the hot water in the tank from losing too much energy through the night. The
system can absorb energy at most of the weather conditions even at full cloudy day in
the cold winter. The collector tubes can still get energy from infrared passing through
the clouds at full cloudy day.
All labeled valves (V1 to V5) must be installed at an adult’s reachable place. Draining
valves (V4 & V5) must come with hose bibs that can connect a garden hose for
draining purpose.
Piping should be sloped toward drain ports with a drainage slope of no less than 2 cm
vertical drop for each meter of horizontal length (1/4 inch per foot).
The illustration is the installation pipe line of pressurized solar water heater. The
directions of each valve and the corresponding positions should be correct. There
should be no leakage in the tie in. The pipe line must be dealt with heat preservation
and anti-freezing.
Underground piping subject to vehicular traffic shall be installed to withstand the
additional loading applied by this traffic. The trenches and backfill shall be free of
sharp objects in contact with the pipe.
As the system is a solar only system, there will be some days that it cannot meet the
user heat demand if the solar irradiance is not ideally. It requires an aux water heating
equipment to ensure that all the days can meet the user demand.
Our system can plumb with electrical, gas or oil water heater, the detail connecting
please reference the below diagram. Please note that, when you choose the backup
water heater,
“THE AUX WATER HEATER MUST HAVE ADEQUATE CAPACITY, LISTED
AND LABELED BY AN ACCREDITED LISTING ORGANIZATION.
