Safety regulations, instructions and guidelines Statics The selected substructure and the connections to the building are to be interpreted by others according to local Before beginning the assembly it is vital to test the roof or circumstances. substructure on site to sufficient load-carrying capacity. Recommended heat transfer medium is Tyfocor LS or Pay increased attention to the possible durability of the equivalent.
Product descriptions Solar thermal collector „FINO“ The solar collector uses the radiant energy of the sun for heating a heat transfer fluid. This glycol-water mixture indicates the stored heat through a heat exchanger to a storage tank. The energy can be used for hot water installation.

(see figure) These are available as a kit from your supplier. The collector can be mounted onto slanted roofs or console constructions (flat roofs, base or b arri- er). Specifications Model FINO cross area 0,96 m² length 1.200 mm width...

Product description Hydraulic connections The hydraulic connection between the collectors requires standard clamping ring joints (10 mm). Example: Supplier: Simplex VSH SUPER Please note the assembly instructions of your supplier. The maximum allowable operating pressure is 6 bar. Pressure drop per collector at design conditions (Tm = 20°C und dV/dt = 50 l/h) Δp = 2930 Pa Table of measurements (Pa) (Tm = 20 °C)
Collector hydraulic Arrangement options Each collector has unilaterally a flow and return connection (tube 10 mm.) up to four collectors can be connected in series. In parallel interconnecting any number of such fields can be combined, taking into account the pressure losses. The dimension of the connecting pipe is always 10x1 mm (A) between two collectors.

The distances between the collectors can be chosen depending on the arrangement of the collectors. The solar collector FINO provides air inlets at the right and left site which are covered with a grommet. It is mandatory that the opening of the grommet is adjusted parallel to the floor.

Assembly Installation of substructure It is recommended to mount the FINO on an outsite sub construction (aluminium profile, console, etc.), which is not scope of delifery. Before starting to mount the collector it is mandatory, to check the roof and the onsite sub construction regarding load capacity and taking into account wind and snowloads.

Initiation Initial operation Regular inspections After installing the other components such as flow pipe, Solar systems should be reviewed at intervals to be determined in return pipe, insulation, pump group, expansion tank and addition to the function control by the operator. controller the installation can be put into service.
