Miscellaneous

Pump is overheated, but no heat transfer from
the collector to the tank, flow and return have
the same temperature; perhaps also bubbling in
the lines.
Air or gas bubbles in the system?
no
Are valves or

switch the pump off
and on for a short
time.
Pump starts up very late.
Switch-on temperature difference ∆Ton too
large?
no
Change ∆Ton and
∆Toff correspondingly.
Non-ideal position of the collector sensor (e.g.
flatscrew sensor instead of sensor in immersion
sleeves)?
no
yes

Pump starts for a short moment, switches off,
switches on again, etc.

Mount the collec-

collector.
The temperature difference between tank and col-
lector increases enormously during operation; the
collector circuit cannot dissipate the heat.
Collector circuit pump / valve defective?
no

Decalcify it
Heat exchanger blocked?
no

Heat exchanger too small?
Replace with correctly sized one.
