Preparing To Install The Collectors - Worcester FKS Series Installation Instructions Manual

6.1

Preparing to install the collectors

Before beginning actual installation on the roof, preas-
semble the short solar hoses and dummy plugs on the
ground to make work on the roof easier.
To secure the solar hoses, the hose clips must be fitted
with the release ring.
SYSTEM DAMAGE
through leaks in the solar hoses.
B The hose clip MUST be positioned
CAUTION!
correctly BEFORE the release ring
(Fig. 36, Item 1) is removed (Fig. 36,
Item 2). Subsequent loosening using
pliers can impair resilience.
RISK OF INJURY
The release ring must only be pulled
away when the hose clip is positioned
CAUTION!
over the solar hose.
6.1.1 Water connection acc. to the Tichelmann
principle
The collector array must be connected according to the
Tichelmann principle. This ensures that each collector
receives the same flow rate (Fig. 37).
i
USER NOTE
The flow line can be fitted to the top right
(Fig. 37) or left (Fig. 38). In this manual,
the flow line is shown on the right.
The collectors must be installed in such a way that the
sensor pockets that receive the collector sensor
(Fig. 38, Item 1) are at the top.
i
USER NOTE
If you intend to vent the solar heating sys-
tem with an automatic air-vent valve (ac-
cessory) at the highest point of the
system, run the flow line rising to the air-
vent valve and the return line rising to the
collector array.
