Information on system hydraulics
Air vent trap
(install at the
highest point)
Flow regulation valve
for multiple
collector arrays
Pipework examples
Single sided pipework, to the right
(up to 5 collectors)
Single sided pipework, to the left
(up to 5 collectors)
Recommendation:
Piping several collector arrays in accordance with Tichelmann
With single-sided pipework a maximum of 5 F3-1 or F3-1Q, F3-Q collectors
may be connected in parallel.
With alternating pipework a maximum of 10 F3-1 or F3-1Q, F3-Q collectors
may be connected in parallel.
- Do not use zinc-plated/galvanized pipes, fittings, etc.
- Thermal insulation must be temperature-resistant to >175 °C, in external
areas it must also be UV and weather-resistant.
- Only use the gaskets supplied.
Pipes close to the collectors may reach temperatures of up to 200 °C when the
system is on standby. Beware of potential fire hazard.
- Pipes should be routed to the collector array with a rise. This will enable an
'emptying' of the collector in the event of stagnation. Do not create air locks.
Recommendation:
- Fit an air trap at the highest point.
- Where multiple collectors are fitted, integrate flow regulating valves into the
return to enable hydraulic balancing.
The solar lines must be laid and connected before the collector casing and
thermal insulation are fitted, so that the entire line length and all collector
connection points can be checked for tightness.
