    Illustration 7 For the combination with the SolBox, only self-draining collectors can be used. If you should have any questions, please contact your supplier! 1) Only applies for collectors of the STI GmbH. 2) Please consider the size of the collector field! For collector fields of more than 30 m², please ask for the...
  • Page 10: Filling Of The Solbox

    Filling of the SolBox General Now fill the system with a suitable glycol-water mixture via the filling unit on the SolBox using a filling station. First determine the filling quantity using the table on page 22. Filling quantity = collector content + content pipes + content heat exchanger + content SolBox...
  • Page 11: Initial Operation Of The Solbox

    Initial operation of the SolBox Step 1: Filling of the installation Now connect a hose, which pumps the glycol- water mixture from the filling station into the system, to the connection (9). The ball valve at connection (9) is opened - see figure 4 // 10.
  • Page 12 Initial operation of the SolBox Step 2: Venting the system Now partially empty the system to obtain the necessary air volume in the system. Now connect a hose to the breather unit (3) - see figure 1. The hose leads back into the container of the filling station.
  • Page 13 Initial operation of the SolBox Step 3: Partial emptying of the system First, determine the draining volume by using the overview below. Draining volume = collector content + volume collection pipe + expansion volume Volumes Depending on the system content of the solar...
  • Page 14 Initial operation of the SolBox Step 4: Enhancement of the pressure To prevent a negative pressure within the system it is recommended to run the system with approx. 0.5 bar pressure (above system pressure from static height). Option I - Enhancement of the pressure with compressor - Connect a compressor with the venting unit (3) and open the ball valve - see illustration 1.
  • Page 15 Initial operation of the SolBox Option II - Enhancement of the pressure through additional draining and filling For that, first determine the installation volume by the overview below. installation volume = filling vol. - draining vol. - In dependency to the installation volume now a defined volume is released from the system - see table 2.

    Assemble the system and install all pipelines - see “Installation scheme” at page 7. Specification of draining volume Calculate or specify the draining volume - see “Initial operation of the SolBox” at page 11. Filling and venting Fill and vent the system completely through the filling station - see “Draining volume” at page 13.
