Filling and flushing the solar thermal system and checking for
leaks
!
Please note
Filling and commissioning the
solar thermal system without first
safeguarding heat transfer
results in thermal stress.
Cover the collectors and keep
covered until heat transfer has
been regulated.

■ Accessories for flushing and filling the
solar thermal system:
– Flushing and filling facility (filling
trolley and filling station)
These contain a high speed pump
with a high pump rate, a filter and a
container for heat transfer medium.
– Filling valve, consisting of shut-off
valve, drain valve and fill valve.
■ Flush solar thermal system with heat
transfer medium. Otherwise there is a
risk that residual water from flushing
may become mixed with the heat
transfer medium. This would alter the
properties of the heat transfer
medium.
■ Flush soldered copper pipes thor-
oughly. Any residual scale may com-
promise the operation of the solar ther-
mal system.
