INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mount the system's stand in a shade-free area, while making sure the collector's
location is facing north, with up to a 20˚ deviation east to west.
2.
Place the geyser in its cradle on the stand.
3. Place the collectors on the stand facing north at the stand's angle - 15-35˚ to the
horizontal plane. The angle should be equal to latitude +100. Cover the panel.
4. Connect the closed-loop connections between the collector and the geyser
according to the installation schematic.
5. Connect the cold water supply line and hot water to user line as marked on the
schematic.
6. Make sure that all systems' connections are fastened.
7.
Fill the geyser with potable water and pressurize to 400 kPa.
8. Check carefully for leaks and fix if any.
9. Fill the closed-loop by using the filling valve until solution discharges freely from
the upper point. Put the relief valve back in place.
10. Check carefully for leaks and fix if any.
11. Make sure the pipes going out of the collector to the geyser are on a constant
slope upwards.
12. Uncover the panel.
The system will now operate properly when the collector is exposed to the sun.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Air bubbles in the closed-loop might hinder or stop the thermosyphon action.
2. The geyser may be installed in a high profile or in a low profile configuration;
however, an installation in a low profile (i.e. the collector is partly above the
geyser) requires a low profile valve to prevent reverse thermosyphon action
during the night.
3. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined propylene glycol to be
"generally recognised as safe" for use in food, cosmetics, and medicines.
