Page 3: General Installation And Operation Instructions
GENERAL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Collector description REGULUS Flat Plate Solar Collectors are designed for solar domestic hot water heating, backup and pool heating. Solar radiation penetrates the glass and is intercepted by an efficient absorption layer applied on a serpentine-shaped copper absorber. The heat is then transferred into heat carrier fluid. The absorber is sealed in a compact frame with high quality thermal insulation. -

Page 14: Flat Roof Support Mounting
Flat roof support mounting A flat roof support consist of two rails, triangular supports and one wind brace. The number of triangular supports depends on the number of collectors. Use one support for each collector. One wind brace is sufficient up to the rail length of 6.15 m. - Page 15 13 mm spanner Pic. 18: Assembly by means of the travelling screws with a special head • fix further triangular supports to the rails in the same manner. Always adjust the distance between them in such a way that the triangular support is positioned approximately under the middle of a collector. If you install also the wind brace between the supports, tighten only one support.
- Page 16 • insert M8 nuts (23) into the rail (04). For fixing the wind brace to the rail, use special bolts with a stop. The bolt stop will bore itself into the rail when tightened, thus the precise bolt position is fixed and prevents possible coming loose of the wind brace.
- Page 17 • tip over the support structure into its working position (Pic. 22 - the windbrace vertically). Secure the support structure either by screwing it into the roof, or applying a burden. If secured with a burden, for a wind load up to the building height of 8m and snow load up to 0.75 kN/m , the burden must be distributed according to the following table:...

Hydraulic Connection Collector connecting For collector mounting follow the instructions in chapter 2.4. Fasten the first collector and lay the following one next to the first one, maintaining a sufficient gap. Then put on the threaded fittings and push the collector to the already mounted one until stop. -

Maximum of 5 collectors may be connected with threaded fittings in a row. The next collector shall be connected via a compensator. Further max. 3 collectors may follow, connected with threaded fittings. It is advisable to keep the connection piping from collectors as short as possible. The recommended pipe diameters and flow rates through collectors in different connection schemes are shown in Tab. -

Page 22: Installation Of Air Release Valves
Installation of Air Release Valves Install the air vent to the highest point of the system. It is recommended to amend the air vent with a local pipe widening that calms down the stream and helps in good separating bubbles from the fluid (see pic. 30). For an efficient removal of bubbles from the system it is advisable to fit the pump station with an air separator (see pic. -
