1. SPECIFICATIONS
Ultrasun UFD Flatplate solar hot water systems are established and effective heaters that
provide excellent performance, good value and guaranteed long life. They are of Open
Loop thermosyphon type with the water flow circulating through the collectors and being
stored in the tank ready for use. Features include:-
• Heavy duty tank that features a resin insulated totally weather proof GRP casing, a
heavy duty galvanised cylinder internally piped to optimise hot water availability and
magnesium sacrificial anode for cathodic corrosion protection. An in-built 3kW
electric water heater with thermostat is included as standard.
• Solar collectors that incorporate full area copper absorption plates ultrasonically
welded to copper circulation tubes, high specification insulation and tempered
security glass to provide energy absorption of up to 95%.
• Low thermal conductivity high specification plastic collector tank connection piping
with silver foil coated polystyrene insulation jackets.
• Connection piping that includes an incoming non-return valve, a thermosyphon
0
diverter valve controlling max water temperature to 60 C to avoid scalding on hot
days, pressure release valve and drain cock. All fittings are provided from the inlet to
the outlet for simple installation.
