11.14 Solar menu
AquaEfficiency can be acting with a SolarFlow or AlfaPilot working mode, allowing taking benefit of a solar
energy with primary storage tank installation or alternative energy recovering installation.
The Micro 3000 combined with extra sensors can pilot a second 0-10V signal valve actuator, allowing directing
the outlet primary flow towards the primary storage vessel or towards the boiler (or heat generator).
This distribution can be binary (open OR closed valve) in AlfaStore A configuration or proportional in AlfaPilot
configuration.
For more information see
18.12 Add AlfaPilot functionality.

:
If S5 is wired, Pt2 setpoint takes in account the external temperature, generating a heat curve
11.14.1 Solarflow
To use the Solarflow application, an extra sensor Pt1 is needed. It must be placed in the top of a primary
storage buffer vessel e.g. solar. See
18.9 Change or add an extra sensor
and
When Solarflow is not active the AquaEfficiency unit is in standby mode, with valve closed and pump stopped.
Standby mode will be active until the temperature in the primary storage buffer (Pt1) becomes higher or the
same as the secondary return temperature (S2) plus the set parameter

At this moment all other AquaEfficiency functions are operational and the system supplies energy regulating on

When primary temperature (Pt1) is hot enough, the AquaEfficiency is put in Standby mode once again

Remark
: In SolarFlow mode, eventual secondary pumps are always working and are not stopped, even in the
standby SolarFlow mode.
