Solar Hiline Operation

The Hiline solar system operates on the thermosiphon principle. As water in the collector/s
gains heat from solar radiation it rises to the top of the collector/s and then into the tank via
the hot pipe. As the heated water from the collector/s flows to the tank, cold water from the
bottom of the tank is able to return back into the collector/s, via the Sunstat valve and cold
pipe, to be heated. The Sunstat valve is a temperature operated isolating valve designed
to stop the flow of water back to the collectors when the water temperature in the tank
reaches approximately 75ºC.
An auxiliary electric heating unit and thermostat is incorporated in the design of the
storage cylinder to provide back up heating during periods of low solar contribution, cloudy
weather or high hot water demand.
The Hiline solar system is not suitable for use in frost prone areas.
