Page 4: Functioning
1.0 Functioning The ENERGIE solar systems are thermodynamic solar systems. The solar panel located outside ensures the capture of energy through: o Direct and diffuse radiation o Exterior air by natural convection o Wind effect (usually present) o Rain water The temperature gradient caused by the above factors ensures that the fluid passes to the gaseous state inside the panel. The compressor extracts the cooling fluid (vapour) from the panel by rising its pressure and ... -

Page 8: Unevenness
However, there are situations where it is not possible to respect that measurement. In such cases you please contact our technical department. The suction tubing and the distribution rods should rise above the panel level, in order to avoid the effect of quick siphon of the fluid when the compressor stops. 3.3 Solar Panels Orientation North Orientation Limits The ENERGIE solar panels shall be, preferably oriented towards South, but they can also have a dislocated Bad orientation to Northeast or Northwest. West East Good ... -
Page 9: Type Of Thermodynamic Solar Panels
3.5 Type of Thermodynamic Solar Panels There are two types of panels: o Left Solar Panels o Right Solar Panels The direction of the panels is defined by the downward tubing exits and by the view of the front part of the panels. They should always be placed with a longer horizontal length and the connections facing down. Steam Line (Out) Liquid Line (In) Left: A left panel is installed on the right (front view); for that purpose its connections are on the left side. Steam Line (Out) Liquid Line (In) Right: A right panel is installed on the left (front view), for that purpose its connections are on ... -
Page 10: Panel Layout
3.7 Panel Layout The relative Position of the panels depends on which system is installed, on the available installation area, on the architectonic integration, among other variables that may have local impact. Some of the possible layouts for the panels are represented in the following scheme. The installation technician may opt for a different layout as long as it complies with all the relevant criteria for an adequate installation. Solar Block 4 or Eco 750/1000 a) b) ... -
Page 11: Solar Panel Fixing
3.8 Solar Panels Fixing The fixing of the panels depends on the installation site. The method and type of fixing depends entirely on the installer's decision. There are, however, several factors that should be taken into consideration (previously described, such as the distance and the orientation) for the correct panels fixing. As for the physical part of the fixing stands, they should have a resistant structure according to the circumstances ... -

shall also place a tray underneath the appliance so it may retrieve water in case of a potential leakage on the equipment. During transport and installation never hold or manipulate the thermodynamic block by the it’s tubes. 5.0 Connection between the Panels and the Thermodynamic Block When the installation of the solar panels and the thermodynamic block is completed the next step is installing two tubing connections: o Fluid Tubing (feeding) o Suction Collector Before you perform the above mentioned connections it is advisable to execute the connections of the tubes of the panels to the: o Liquid distributor(s) ... -
Page 13: Distributors And Collector's Connection To The Panel's Tubing
5.2 Distributors and Collector's Connection to the Panel's Tubing For convenience reason, the placement of the distributor and the collector may be done prior to the installation of the panels (nuisance, passage of the tubing behind the panels) Remove the protection lids of the tubing only when you connect the feeding and the suction rods to prevent the entrance of impurities. Install the distributor(s) vertically head down (never horizontally!) thus ensuring that the fluid gets to the panels homogeneously. Liquid Line Linha de Líquido Lira Principal Cu 1/2" ∅ It is imperative that all feeding rods ( 1/4’’) have the same length. The same applies to the rods of the main distributor. ... -

Nr Description 1 Suction Line 2 Fluid Line 3 Connection to the Heat Exchanger (DHW/Swimming Pool) 4 Exit (water circuit) 5 Return (water circuit) 6 Electrical Wiring The connections of the thermodynamic block (cabinet) to the panels are duly sealed so as to avoid the entrance of impurities in the cooling circuit and to provide insulation from the humidity. ... -
Page 15: Fluid Load
7.0 Fluid load 7.1 Leak‐tightness Testing A load of nitrogen at a pressure of 12 bar (max. 15 bar) will be optimal to ensure that there are no leaks in the welding. When the equipment is duly charged, envelop all the welding with soap foam and check the existence of nitrogen leaks. The panels should be 2 to 3 days with a load of nitrogen to ensure inexistence of leaks. Once this operation is completed, remove all nitrogen from the equipment. 7.2 Vacuum Before loading the coolant, you must create vacuum in the equipment. The purpose of vacuum is removing all air and humidity present in the circuit. The amount of vacuum time depends on the following factors: ... - Page 16 Before starting the loading process you should make sure that the compressor is turned off. The fluid load is done through the compression pipe. The amount of fluid that will be loaded into the system depends essentially on two factors: o The model of the solar system o Distance between the block and the panels To ensure the functioning of the thermodynamic system you should perform a fluid Pre‐load (fluid minimum load). The pre‐load is done through the high pressure compression pipe with the compressor turned off. Please find the pre‐load values on the following table: Model Pre‐Load Solar Block 4 / Eco750 / Eco 1000 1.5 kg Solar Block 6 / Eco 1500 1.6 kg Solar Block 8 / Eco 2000 1.8 kg Solar Block 12 / Eco 3000 2.0 Kg Solar Block 16 / Eco 1500 2.5 kg Solar Block 24 / Eco 4000 3.0 kg Solar Block 32 / Eco 5000 3.5 kg Solar Block 40 / Eco 6000 4.0 kg When the pressure is equal on the gauges the system is ready for starting‐up the compressor. ...

10.0 Troubleshooting When the system presents any failure/malfunction, the upper display of the electronic device should show the "message" for that malfunction. The causes for each possible malfunction are: “LP” error (system does not work) ‐ Possible shortage of coolant potentially caused by: o Coolant leakage o Inadequate load “LP” error (system turns off cyclically) o Exterior temperature is too low. o Shortage of coolant. o Clogging of cooling circuit. o Humidity in the cooling circuit. “HP” error (system does not work) o Coolant excess. ... - Page 20 19 ...
