Fitting the collector temperature sensor (cont.) Please note Route the sensor lead so that it does not come into contact with hot tubes. Route the lead through the slot in the thermal insulation. Fig. 85 Please note The collectors may be damaged if the solar ther- mal system is not filled with heat transfer medium immediately after installation.
Soft solder could be weakened, particularly near the collectors, due to the high temperatures that occur there. Metal seal connections, locking ring fittings or Viessmann push-fit connections with double O-rings are the most suitable. Should alternative seals be used, such as flat gas-...
