Installation
(cont.)
■
Braze or press fit the copper pipes in the solar cir-
cuit.
Soft solder could be weakened, particularly near the
collectors, due to the high temperatures that occur
there. Metal seal connections, locking ring fittings or
Viessmann plug-in connections with double O-rings
are the most suitable.
If other seals such as flat gaskets are used, ade-
quate glycol, pressure and temperature stability must
be guaranteed by the manufacturer.
■
Design all connections to be resistant to pressure
and temperature (observe the maximum stagnation
temperature of the collector).
Never use:
–
Teflon (inadequate glycol resistance)
Hemp connections (insufficiently gas-tight)
–

■
Equip the system to EN 12975 or EN ISO 9806 with
an expansion vessel, safety valve and circulation
pump.
■
The expansion vessel must be approved to DIN
4807.
The diaphragms and seals of the expansion vessel
and safety valve must be suitable for the heat trans-
fer medium.
To calculate the pre-charge pressure, see the
"Vitosol" service instructions.
■
For operation without a Solar-Divicon, use only
safety valves that meet the following conditions:
–
Designed for 120 °C and up to 6 bar (0.6 MPa)
