TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS In the system installation and loading phase, the solar panels must be transported and handled in their original packaging, which must not be removed until they are positioned on the roof, or any other structure on which they are to be installed, in accordance with the paragraph “Cover the panels”.
INFORMATION DESCRIPTION The panels with X-RAY R tubes have three main pre-assembled components: Vacuum tubes; Curved CPC mirrors; A collector with a heat distribution unit and integrated return tubing Each vacuum tube is composed of two concentric glass tubes; every single tube is closed at one end by a hemisphere, and is connected with another tube at the other end.

INSTALLATION ON FLAT ROOF WITH BALLAST If it is not possible to fix the flat roof brackets onto the surface chosen for installation, anchorage can be achieved by the use of cement slabs (each corner 2 must be anchored to said slabs which must weigh at least 75 kg each, with dimensions of 30x20x55 cm).

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION COLLECTORS CONNECTION The next chapter gives indicative information for the sizing of the water pipes to be connected to the panels. However, the correct sizing must always be calculated by the engineer appointed to plan the specific system in question. Metallic tubes that are suitable for contact with glycol solutions and high temperatures must be used.
FLOW RATE OF THE HEAT TRANSFER FLUID To guarantee the correct operation of the solar system, a specific nominal flow rate of the heat transfer fluid must be guar- anteed of 9 l / h m2 per pipe installed. Example: •...
PUMBLING CONNECTIONS The special feature of the X-RAY R collectors is that they can have a third integrated tube. This allows for choosing the basic standard model of the system. The head of an X-RAY R collector has hydraulic connections on each side, marked by dots in relief (see the figure on the right).
Page 39
RIGHT SIDE CONNECTION Connect the pipes from the boiler room on the right side of the collector series. Connect the return pipes (cold side) to the upper pipe connector on first collector (first/highest on the right). Blank the central pipe connector and connect the delivery pipe (hot side) to the lowest pipe connector.
Page 40
LARGE SYSTEM For larger systems with for example more than 6 X-RAY 15 collectors, they can be arranged in two rows. Care must be taken to balance the system by making a connection between the two series. Attention: both rows must have the same number of collectors (see diagram). Alternatively, connect the collectors to several parallel rows, making the hydraulic connections in a balanced manner, as shown below.
Page 41
COLLECTOR X-RAY R BASIC WITHOUT THIRD INTEGRATED PIPE AND PARALLEL DISTRIBUTION The X-RAY R solar collector has the third pipe completely integrated in the head and three lateral hydraulic connections that allow the hydraulic distribution in parallel on each module of the string. The collector also has probe holders on both sides to make the connection of the external pipes reversible, both from the right and from the left.
Page 42
LEFT SIDE CONNECTION Connect the adduction pipe coming from the thermal plant on the left side of the collector battery. Connect the return pipe (cold side) to the top fitting of the first manifold (the first from the left), plug the central fitting and connect the delivery (hot side) to the low fitting.
Page 43
Alternatively, connect the collectors to several parallel rows, making the hydraulic connections in a balanced manner, as shown below. It is advisable to provide for the arrangement of several probes, on the respective collector strings, in > order to interchange them in the event of a fault and to be able to check the correct balancing of the circuit in conditions operational.
SYSTEM USER’S INSTRUCTIONS Normal functioning (with fabric sheets or with a cover made from its cardboard After a solar XRAY R solar panel system has been started up packaging), firmly fixed to the solar panel with belts or bands. by a specialised installer, the user does not need any special When the system has to be re-started after a long absence, it technical know-how.
REPAIRS Replacement of single tubes Removal of the tubes Materials and equipment required: 5 mm hexagonal Allen If the tube has sustained obvious damage, carefully remove wrench, bucket and broom to collect residues, and replacement the glass fragments without damaging the surface of the CPC tubes.
