Figure 15 Solar installation for hot water heating and heating support. System solution in conjunction with oil or gas boiler, buffer cylinder RATIO
HP G and freshwater station RATIOfresh. Water is heated using an electronically controlled flow process. The controller of the freshwater station
maintains a constant withdrawal temperature and especially low buffer cylinder return temperatures. Solar energy for room heating is utilized by
raising the return temperature of the heating circuit when the temperature in the buffer cylinder is sufficiently high.
Figure 16 Solar installation for water heating and space heating support. System solution with gas boiler, open fireplace with heating inset, RATIO
HP Buffer Storage, fresh water station RATIOfresh and a floor heating circuit. Hot water preparation is done by electronically controlled flow-
through method. The fireplace heats the upper part of the buffer storage, solar energy can heat the entire volume of the storage cylinder. When the
temperatures in the storage are high enough, the return flow of the heating circuit is directed through the storage via the switching valve V1. The en-
ergy of the buffer storage is utilized for space heating. The solar controller additionally controls loading of the buffer via the fireplace inset.
